New Delhi, March 14: Holi was two nights away but in the poor lanes of her Pitampura slum the mood was already festive. The little girl who skipped merrily behind the stranger with the fruit bag smelt a treat in it. They stopped at a house a few harmless turns away from her door where the man's friend had been cooking. They gave her meat, and resumed drinking. What they did afterwards has left even the police veterans shocked and disgusted.

The two took hold of the five-yearold and felt her up, doing with their fingers what in criminology is called 'digital rape'. The horrified girl cried and tore about to reach the safety of her home and family. Her tiny limbs twisted and strained in vain as one man smothered her while the other continued the unnatural act. Within moments, the playful child had become a broken rag doll. But the beastly assault continued on her corpse.

The Bhalaswa Dairy police said on Tuesday that labourer Raja Ram (28) and plumber Mushtaq (32) defiled the body in every way for hours, on the evening of March 6. Finally, they packed it in a gunny bag after mutilating the private parts, and dropped it near a bush in the Bhalaswa Dairy area, where it was found the next morning.

The week old case was solved on Monday as the police became suspicious of the two men who kept offering unsolicited help in spite of being unrelated to the child. They have been arrested under IPC sections 302 (murder ), 376 (rape), 377 (unnatural offences), 363 (kidnapping) and 373 (obtaining possession of a minor with criminal intent).

Additional DCP (northwest) Romil Baaniya said the duo stayed close by the child's house, and on the day of the rape and murder they had been celebrating their new jobs with meat and liquor. "One of them went out in the evening to buy fruit. On the way back, he saw the girl playing outside her house and gave her grapes. He lured her inside their house, and gave her some meat before the crime.''

About the duo's suspicious behaviour, the officer said, "They kept on insisting that we search in places that the girl never visited. But they cracked under questioning. At their house, we found bloodstained articles that we believe belonged to the victim. We have preserved the girl's vaginal swab and a DNA test of the accused will be carried out''.

Mumbai, Jul 15: A domestic row between a couple spilled onto road when a woman stopped her husbands car and climbed on its bonnet, briefly disrupting traffic on the busy Pedder Road in South Mumbai, police said on Wednesday.

The incident, which took place on Saturday evening, was recorded by some passersby on their mobile phones and its videos are making rounds on social media.

The wife chased the husband's SUV (sports utility vehicle) in her car after she spotted another woman seated next to him in his vehicle.

As her husband's SUV stopped at the Pedder Road signal, the wife get down from her car, rushed towards his four-wheeler and started shouting at him, a police official said.

In the video, the woman is seen climbing the bonnet of the SUV, removing her footwear and hitting the vehicle's windshield with it. She is also seen asking the husband's co- passenger to get out of the SUV and shouting for police help.

As she stopped her car in the middle of the busy road, one lane got blocked for some time and the traffic police personnel present there tried to ensure movement of other vehicles, the official said.

After sometime, the traffic police asked the couple to take their cars near the footpath.

By that time, the husband stepped out of his SUV, following which the wife ran towards him and caught him. She even kicked him a couple of times and took him to her car, the video shows.

She then again ran towards her husband's SUV, which was parked a few metres away. She opened its driver-side door and lunged at the woman seated in the vehicle, but was stopped by some people who had gathered at the spot, the police official said.

Later, the couple and their cars were taken to Gamdevi police station, where the wife refused to lodge a complaint against her husband.

A fine was imposed on her for traffic rules violation and abandoning her car in the middle of the road, which caused disruption of vehicular movement, the official said.

New Delhi, Jan 15: The CBI has booked 17 individuals and companies, including three Mumbai-based senior Customs officials, for allegedly being part of a money laundering racket using over-invoiced import of diamonds worth more than Rs 156 crore, official said on Tuesday.

The case was referred to the CBI after a Directorate of Revenue Intelligence probe found alleged involvement of Customs officials in the conspiracy, they said.

The DRI probe had alleged that Hong Kong-based businessman Girish Kadel had imported rough diamonds from Switzerland to Hong Kong in the name of his four companies.

Kadel, who had business interests in India, had exported some of these diamonds to India through 14 consignments in the name of two companies Antique Exim Pvt Ltd and Tanman Jewels showing over-invoiced value of Rs 156.28 crore.

The DRI had found during revaluation that actual value of the consignment was Rs 1.03 crore instead of falsely declared value of Rs 156.28 crore, they said.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has alleged that Kadel used Import Export Codes (IECs) of Antique Exim Private Ltd and Tanman Jewels through his aide Atul Paldecha for siphoning off the money outside India through import of over-valued diamonds, the officials said.

Rough diamonds were imported at "highly exaggerated value" to siphon off excess foreign exchange overseas to cover the differential cost of other imports and park money abroad for unlawful activities.

It is alleged that the then Commissioner APSC Mumbai, Vinay Brij Singh, influenced subordinate officers to give favourable report, they said.
