Hyderabad, February 18: In a desperate act to meet thedowry requirements ahead of her wedding, anMBA student along with her mother made a vain bid to rob a housewife of her gold chain at APIIC colony, Kushaiguda on Friday.

Kushaiguda police said that at around 11.30 am the mother-daughter duo - Rama Devi and Sharada - entered the residence of Kalpana, a housewife, in APIIC colony. Clad in burqas, they pushed Kalpana down and tried to snatch her gold chain.

"Kalpana managed to shout for help. The neighbours immediately came to her rescue and caught the two women," Kushaiguda inspector V Srikanth Goud told TOI.

In her confession, Sharada, a second year MBA student of Sai Sudheer College, Kushaiguda, said they had to pay a dowry of Rs one lakh to the bridegroom's family. Her wedding was scheduled for March 8.

"The duo hatched a plan to rob Kalpana as they knew she would be alone at home. They had kept tabs and found out that her husband left early and returned home late at night," police said.

Until a few months ago they used to reside in the vicinity of Kalpana's house and hence knew her movements. Presently, the accused are residents of Kamalapuri colony.

Tikamgarh, Jul 25: Promise of providing housing to the poor has been made by both Centre as well as State governments but a Dalit family in Tikamgarh district of Madhya Pradesh is forced to live in a toilet for the last several years.

However, the administration denied that the family is living in the toilet.

Maganlal Ahirwar, his wife and four children live in Keshavgarh Gram Panchayat of Mohangarh area of Tikamgarh district. All of them have been living in the toilet for four years. Ahirwar's wife Phula Devi said she told the authorities several times that her family didn't get house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, but no one listened. The couple even got their daughter married in the same toilet.

They even got an electricity connection and gas connection under the Ujjwala scheme.

Mohangarh tehsildar Dr. Abhijeet Singh told media persons, "I got to know about the case and have asked for the report. Maganlal Ahirwar came to the office two-three days ago and denied that he was living in the toilet with his family. He has an ancestral house in the village."

He might have lived in a toilet earlier but currently he is not living there, Dr. Singh added.
