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....

Bengaluru, Jan 13: RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat on Monday held a protest march at Ramnagar district’s 
Kapalabetta under the aegis of Hindu Jagran Vedike’s ‘Kanakapura Chalo’ campaign against the construction of the world’s largest Jesus statue there.

Hundreds of protesters of the Vedike staged a protest march in the city starting from the Kanakapura Ayyappaswamy temple.

“We are not here to disturb the peace. We have met each other at the wedding of Sriramulu’s daughter. So you know who I am, DK Shivakumar. How long will you continue with these lies? Is the intention behind the statue of Jesus to solidify your vote bank? Build the statue in America or England, we will not allow it here,” said the RSS leader as the keynote speaker at the rally.

Bengaluru, Apr 10: A Karnataka BJP MP's daughter who recovered from COVID-19 has said she did yoga and ''pranayama'' while in hospital quarantine and these were key to defeating the pandemic.

"I was there in the hospital for 14 days. I used to do Yoga and Pranayama. It helps a lot. Everyone should start doing it now," said Ashwini GS, daughter of Davangere MP GM Siddeshwara.

In a video message that went viral on Thursday, she said coronavirus was "not something to be feared and yoga, pranayama and a strong mental state are the key to defeat the pandemic."

Ms Ashwini tested positive for COVID-19 after she had returned from Guyana last month. She was admitted to the SS Hospital in Davangere where she was quarantined for 14 days.

"Throughout my stay in the hospital I did not have any symptom of coronavirus. I neither sneezed, nor coughed or had a running nose. There was no fever either," Ms Ashwini said.

However, she kept herself physically and mentally fit.

"Maintain social distancing, be aware of dos and don'ts and stay safe," the MP's daughter said.

The AYUSH Ministry's protocol has outlined measures to build a strong immune system and it included consuming warm water, practising yogasana, pranayama and meditation for 30 minutes every day.
