Five booked for illegal sale of infant

November 10, 2012

Mangalore, November 10: Police have registered cases against five persons, including the biological mother of the child for selling an infant to a couple.

Addressing media persons at his office in Mangalore on Saturday, Abhishek Goyal, SP, Dakshina Kannada district, said that Usha (name changed) from Belthangady taluk had delivered a child at Lady Goschen Hospital in Mangalore on April 2. The child was illegitimate and hence Usha had intimated her sister Champa that she does not want to keep the infant with her and accordingly it was given to Pramila and Sukanya, nurses at the hospital who gave it to another lady by name Gulabi. She sold the child to a couple Jayaraj and Rajeevi of Vorkady, Kasaragod.

A complaint had been filed at Venur Police Station from Gram Panchayat with regard to illegal sale of the child. Accordingly, cases have been registered against Usha, Champa, Pramila, Sukanya and Gulabi, and further investigation is in process, Mr. Goyal said.

On a query as to why the police had not filed the case against the Vorkady couple, Mr. Goyal said that the case is still under investigation and right now no action has been taken against them since they claimed that they were not aware of the child's birth and selling being illegal.

The child is now in the custody of Child Welfare Committee (CWC).

Vanitha T, Member, Karnataka Child Rights Commission, said that cases of illegitimate births are on the rise and women must not give scope for illegal pregnancies. She opined that hospitals must take down identity details of pregnant women who come for delivery besides their family background to ensure that illegal sale of infants is checked.

She also said that people wishing to adopt children must take the legal way by approaching adoption homes and other lawful channels and not resort to illegal purchasing of children. In this particular case, the child was sold for Rs. 22,000.

Asha Nayak, Chairperson, CWC, said that there is a provision under law to give back the child to its biological mother. But so far no application has come from her side and hence the child would continue to be in CWC's custody, she said.

When asked if the child can be given back to the Vorkady couple, who had bought the child from Gulabi for adoption, Ms. Nayak said that since the child was sold illegally to the couple, they will have to wait for the CWC procedures to get back the child. The CWC has the right to give away the child for adoption to any parent who applies with them, she said.

BJP leader Kapil Mishra who incited violence in Delhi gets Y-grade security

News Network

March 3,2020

New Delhi, Mar 3: Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kapil Mishra, who instigated violence in northeast Delhi by provoking mobs, has now been provided with 24x7 security. After he claimed threat to his life, he has been provided with “Y” category security — which entitles him to six security personnel round-the-clock to guard him in and outside the city.

He had fought the 2020 Delhi Assembly elections by giving inflammatory remarks around the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act in Shaheen Bagh, and lost to Aam Aadmi Party candidate. But he continued to issue provocative remarks.

While there is clear evidence of his scandalous statements just a day before the violence was unleashed on Muslims in Delhi last week where around 50 people were killed, no action has been taken against him so far. Instead, he is being treated as a hero in his party.

As per sources, Mishra complained that he got life threats over the past week in wake of the violence and based on his request, the Delhi Police has provided the security cover.

Mishra had taken to social media platform Twitter and alleged that he was receiving threats via WhatsApp, Twitter and Facebook, from Indian and foreign accounts.

“I am constantly being threatened with murder on the phone, on WhatsApp, on email. Hundreds of threats are being given continuously from the country and abroad. I don’t fear this hate campaign against me,” he had said on Twitter on March 1.

Mishra had on February 23 made an incendiary speech, following which North-East Delhi witnessed anti-Muslim violence.

The Supreme Court of India on Monday said it will on Wednesday (March 4) hear a plea that sought immediate FIRs against Kapil Mishra, Union Minister of State for Finance Anurag Thakur and other leaders for their recent hate speech, which allegedly triggered the violence in Delhi. The plea was filed by Delhi violence survivors.

The apex court bench, comprising Chief Justice SA Bobde, listed the matter for hearing after senior advocate Colin Gonsalves, who is appearing on behalf of the survivors told the SC that the Delhi High Court had last week adjourned the matter for six weeks even as “people are dying every day”.
