Bangalore, May 5: A mere threat turned into tragedy. Haisnam Jakoi, a 22-year-old engineering student, died while trying to stage a suicide drama in front of his girlfriend, Seraphina (19). The plastic chair he was standing on gave way, leaving him dangling from the ceiling fan at his Bannerghatta Road flat here on Thursday.

Haisnam and Seraphina, both from Imphal, had been dating for three years and planned to marry after finishing their education. But their relationship had strained recently. A possessive Haisnam thought his girlfriend was ignoring him. For over a week Seraphina would neither take his calls nor reply to his messages.

On Thursday, the couple fought after they returned to Haisnam's house around 11pm. They went into his room while his three flat-mates stayed outside.

Haisnam continued arguing with Seraphina and warned her that he would kill himself if she ditched him. She was busy sorting out the purchases and did not respond. She later said that he would often hold out such threats and was very possessive.

Haisnam then took out a nylon rope and threatened to hang himself with it if she did not "mend" her ways. To make it clear to Seraphina that he meant what he was saying, Haisnam stood on a chair, tied one end of the rope to the ceiling fan and lowered the other, making a noose out of it and tying it around his neck.

Suddenly, the chair Haisnam was standing on gave way, leaving him dangling in the air. As the noose dug in, he began gasping for breath. "I saw him writhing in pain. I yelled to our friends outside, rushed into the kitchen, took a knife and cut the rope. By then Haisnam was barely breathing," police quoted the girl as saying.

Hearing Seraphina scream, Haisnam's friends rushed in. "We found him gasping for breath. We alerted the neighbours and the police. We took him to St John's hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival," Tony Logjam, Haisnam's local guardian, told TOI.

Haisnam was the second son of Haisna Choa, an RTO officer. He stayed with three other Manipuri students in the rented flat.

DCP (south-east) P S Harsha said it appeared that Haisnam threatened Seraphina that he would commit suicide and tried to stage a drama, but things spun out of control. Prima facie it is a case of suicide, he added.

Patna, Jul 17: A 15-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a security guard at the Covid-19 quarantine center of the Patna Medical College Hospital where she was admitted after being rescued from a railway station, police said on Thursday.

The accused, Mahesh (40), was arrested on Wednesday night after being booked under the POCSO Act and other relevant IPC sections by the Pir Bahore police station, according to Arti Jaiswal, the in-charge of the women's police station here.

“The accused is being sent to jail while the victim will be undergoing medical tests on Thursday, as is the norm for all sexual assault survivors," Jaiswal said.

The girl had run away from her home in Nalanda district more than a week ago and reached Barh railway station on the outskirts of Patna to catch a train for Kolkata where her father is a daily wage-earner, police said.

She was spotted by Government Railway Police (GRP) personnel who informed the child helpline. The child helpline personnel, taking note of the girl’s tender age and her disturbed frame of mind, convinced her not to undertake the journey and brought her to the hospital’s quarantine ward for COVID-19 suspects as a precautionary measure, they said.

On the night of July 8, a few hours after the girl's arrival at the hospital, she was caught hold of by the accused inside the bathroom and allegedly raped. The accused also threatened her with dire consequences if she spilt the beans and, as per the FIR, kept harassing her sexually.

She finally decided to speak up when another girl, carrying a mobile phone, was similarly brought to the hospital by child helpline a couple of days ago. Using the fellow inmate’s phone, she narrated her ordeal to the helpline personnel who informed the police.

“Her Covid-19 test report is negative. After her examination, for the sexual assault, by a six-member medical board is over, she will be sent to a shelter home by the child helpline," Jaiswal said.

Meanwhile, state women’s commission chairperson Dilmani Mishra strongly reacted to the incident and said, “We are waiting for the medical reports of the girl. We will ensure that justice is done in the matter.”

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.

May 11: Two youths allegedly gang-raped a teen and then hacked to death her 11-year old brother, who had seen their act, in a bid to hide their crime, at a village in Uttar Pradesh's Etah district, about 300 kilometres from here.

Police sources said that two youths, resident of the same village, barged into the house of the teen, when she was alone, and allegedly gang-raped her.

The victim's minor brother suddenly came into the house and protested after he witnessed his sister being sexually assaulted, sources said. The youths allegedly strangled the minor with a towel.

The alleged culprits, who hailed from influential families, 'forced' the victim's parents to bury their son and warned them against approaching the cops.

The parents, however, gathered courage and met senior police officials in Etah on Sunday after a case was registered in this regard. Police said that the body of the minor would be exhumed and a postmortem examination would be conducted.
