Bengaluru, Nov 27: Within an hour of being abducted by a gang of five persons, who wanted to bury him alive in a graveyard at Muniswamappapalya on Friday night, a 24-year-old school van driver was rescued by the Kumaraswamy Layout police.

On Friday evening, the accused — Murali, Jeeva, Muthu, and Arjun — were riding two scooters on ISRO Layout main road, when one of the two-wheelers collided with a school van that Praveen was driving.

As the men began arguing, Praveen abused them, asked them to follow traffic rules, and immediately alerted the van owner about the accident.
 
Enraged, two men climbed into the van, overpowered the driver and drove off to Muniswamappapalya graveyard in Kumaraswamy Layout. The two other accomplices followed the van.

“One of their friends who not with them — a minor boy — had relatives who worked in the graveyard as caretakers,” said the police. Once they reached the graveyard, they assaulted Praveen and started digging a grave as they had planned to bury him alive.

“The van owner who had overheard the conversation during the fight, realised that the men were planning to abduct Praveen, and alerted the police,” said a police officer.

The police rushed to the spot, and started searching for the gang. Police inspector V.M. Guruprasad instructed his men to search the graveyard.

Within an hour, the police zeroed in on the accused. “It was a sheer luck that we rescued Praveen in the nick of time,” said Mr. Guruprasad. Four, including the minor boy, were rounded up by the police, while a fifth associate was later picked up by their Thalaghattapura counterparts in a robbery case.

Noida, Jul 28: A doctor admitted at a private hospital in Noida has been accused of sexually harassing a patient in his isolation ward, where both were undergoing treatment for COVID-19, the police said.

The 20-year-old woman, in her complaint to the police, alleged that the incident took place on Monday and based on that a case was filed at the local expressway police station, they said.

A senior police official said an investigation is underway and there might be lapses on part of the hospital which allegedly admitted a man and a woman in the same isolation ward, in violation of the norms.

The woman and the doctor had tested positive for coronavirus last week, according to officials.

"The woman was in the isolation ward of the private hospital. There was a man, a medical practitioner, who too was infected with coronavirus and was sharing the ward with her," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Noida, Ranvijay Singh said.

He said the woman alleged molestation and upon being informed, the police immediately lodged a case and initiated a probe into the matter.

"There appears to be some irresponsibility on part of the hospital too. We are communication with the medical departments to check whether the patients were being kept in accordance with the guidelines," Mr Singh said.

He said the accused is still in isolation but the police will reach out for his statement following due protocols of COVID-19.

"All necessary action will be taken as per the truth that will emerge after a thorough investigation," Mr Singh said.
