Bhopal, Oct 30: A suspected stalker pulled a college student out of a crowded bus in eastern Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district and stabbed her to death in full view of co-passengers, police said on Saturday.

collegeSanju Singh of a Rewa college was on her way home in Sidhi's Kusumi area for Diwali when the 19-year-old tribal was attacked on Friday evening.

The accused fled the spot near Gotara market, 600 km from Bhopal. Identified as 23-year-old Shivendra Singh Parihar, he boarded the bus from Bhadaura. Passengers said he was carrying a can of petrol.

The murder triggered protests in the market till Saturday evening. Residents blocked the road, while tribals gathered outside Sidhi district hospital, claiming the girl's autopsy was done without the family's consent. Twice, the police used mild force to disperse them.

A passenger in the bus said Shivendra sat behind the girl, who initially sought to hide, and started troubling her. Passengers intervened and shifted Sanju to another seat.

The man asked the driver to stop the bus, and poured petrol on the girl, besides the driver and fellow passengers. He then pulled the girl by hair out of the vehicle and stabbed Sanju 18 times, killing her on the spot, police said.

The bus conductor Ashok Gupta and a co-passenger seated next to the girl, too, were injured.

The accused fled, following which the passengers of the bus alerted authorities. By the time the Dial-100 service reached, Sanju was dead. The girl, who was going to her native Barwahi village, was doing BSc in Girls PG College at Rewa — 420 km northeast of Bhopal.

“Primary investigations suggest the accused knew the girl well and could have been stalking her,” Sidhi superintendent of police Abid Khan said. “The crime was obviously pre-planned.”

According to police sources, cops are investigating if the girl had an affair with Shivendra—and if she left him. The man is accused in a 2008 case of assault lodged at Kusumi police station.

“Shivendra has been booked under the IPC, besides provisions of Arms Act and Atrocities against?SC/ST Act,” Sidhi SP Abid Khan told HT. “Four teams are searching for him.”

The National Crime Records Bureau says Madhya Pradesh last year reported 1,124 cases of stalking — almost a fifth of such incidents across India.

Janab SM Jayate saheb....... If we had followed the ruling of Holy Quran in case of Talaq, this situation would not have arisen..... The greedy husbands and clerics are to be blamed for this situation .....

Just compare with other Muslim countries, how talaq is practiced there....

"Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had started a scheme 'Anna Bhagya' under which free rice and wheat to 494 education institutions, NGOs, and old age homes were provided and the present government has stopped providing benefits to the poor people," said the MLA.

Alleging that the present government has stopped with the scheme Khadar said, "From last two months the government has stopped providing free food to the institutes and NGOs."

"They should restart the scheme which supports poor students and old age houses, or congress will protest if the scheme is not restarted."

Last year in August, Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa had said that his government has no plans to stop any "pro-people schemes" including Anna Bhagya.

"Our government has no plans to scrap any of the pro-people schemes. Our Government is a pro-people Government. I have already signed the file to release grants to continue the "Anna Bhagya scheme" the twitter handle of Karnataka Chief Minister's Office had quoted him as saying.

Bengaluru, May 20: Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) had to confront an unprecedented situation as there was a commotion at bus stands in various parts of the state due to the mad rush of passengers.

Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi, who is in charge of the transport department, admitted that there were some shortcomings in the arrangements. He, however, was confident that things would improve from Wednesday.

As against the dearth of passengers in the bus stands in Bengaluru a day ago, Wednesday witnessed an overwhelming crowd blaming BMTC authorities for not providing enough buses for all the destinations on time.

Some of the employees who were asked to report to duty before certain time were facing difficulty in reaching the office in the absence of bus despite having daily pass and arriving at the stand well in advance.

Authorities were finding it difficult to convince the public as a bus could ferry only 35 passengers at a time which was way less than the demand.
