The accused was caught abducting the woman on a CCTV camera installed in a nearby shop in Malout in Muktsar.

Muktsar's SSP Gurpreet Singh Gill said today that the accused youth surrendered before a court in Muktsar and has been remanded to police custody for three days.

The woman, a Dalit, was dragged by the youth from a computer centre in Malout in Muktsar. The CCTV footage showed the accused forcibly dragging the woman, said to be in her early 20s, out of her office in broad daylight on March 25.

The woman is seen struggling to break free from her alleged abductor, identified as Gurinder, aged around 25.

After abducting her, the accused took her to Tapa Khera village in Muktsar district and allegedly raped her.

The SSP said that about five days after the incident, the woman had got an FIR registered in the case after which the police were on a lookout for the accused.

A case had been registered against the accused under various provisions of the law including for abduction and rape against the accused, he said.

Both the accused, who is into farming, and the victim hail from same village in Muktsar district.

"He surrendered before a court at Muktsar yesterday and subsequently we took him on remand," Gill told PTI over phone today. Gill said the car in which the accused had abucted the victim was yet to be recovered.

Gill said the prime accused belonged to village Khandu Khera. However, his accomplice is still absconding, the SSP said.

Meanwhile, the Scheduled Caste Commission has taken note of the incident and asked the SSP to file a report on the matter in the next 15 days.

Any Sanghi here to defend this patriot?
Death Penalty the only solution to this problem. But Our #MoNa, or any other leader do not have those 2 tiny things down there! If they changed the law to death penalty, the society will be free from Sanghi Swamis too!

Mangaluru, Aug 8: As visuals of the Air India Express flight crash at Kozhikode international airport emerge, one cannot help but be reminded of an eerily similar and unfortunate accident that occurred a decade ago. The August 7, 2020 tragedy brought back memories of the 2010 crash.

It was on May 22, 2010 that an Air India Express Boeing 737-800 flight from Dubai to Mangaluru over shot the runway while landing at Bajpe airport and fell into a cliff. Of the 160 passengers and 6 crew members on board, 158 were killed (all crew members and 152 passengers) and only 8 survived.

Even back then, the plane had split into two. The crash has been termed as one of India's worst aviation disasters.

The final conversations between Air traffic control (ATC) and the pilot prior to the landing showed no indication of any distress.

Like the Mangaluru accident, Karipur crash too happened when the flight was attempting to land.

The captain of the aircraft which crashed at Mangaluru, Z Glucia, was an experienced pilot with 10,000 hours of flying experience and had 19 landings at the Mangalore airport. Co-pilot S S Ahluwalia, with 3,000 hours of flying experience had as many as 66 landings at this airport. Both the pilot and co-pilot were among the victims.

An investigation into the accident later found that the cause of the accident was the captain’s failure to discontinue an ‘unstabilised approach’ and his persistence to continue with the landing, despite three calls from the First Officer to ‘go-around’.

Lucknow, Jul 20: Dr Azizuddin Sheikh, who was fighting COVID-19 as a front line worker, passed away after contracting coronavirus in Uttar Pradesh. He is survived by a wife and three small children. 

40-year-old Dr Azizuddin, who hailed from Rajasthan, was serving as a paediatrician at Avanti Bai Hospital and Duffein Hospital, Lucknow for past few years. He had also worked in the Middle Eastern countries. 

When a large number of doctors preferred to stay home following the covid-19 outbreak, Dr Azizudin was working 16 to 17 hours battling the pandemic. 

According to sources, he tested positive for the covid-19 last month. “After the reports came positive, he had to call the concerned authorities many times to take him to the hospital,” recalled his family members.

He was first admitted to Lok Bandhu Hospital and was later shifted to KGMU after his condition deteriorated. Later he was taken to SGPGIMS.
 
“Despite following all the guidelines and taking every precaution while treating coronavirus patients, he tested positive for the covid-19. It’s a shock for all of us,” he said.

He used to console his family members and instill confidence among them, said one of his relatives. 

A local newspaper quoted his friends as saying that he was very dedicated in serving people that he used to take minimal possible fees from his patients. When the family asked him to increase consultation fees his reply would be, “They are poor people, how will they afford”?

After his death, one of his patients Alok Singh wrote about an incident. “When I asked doctor Sahib why he charges so less, his answer was I have to answer Allah. The truth that he has left us will always be the reason for our grief.”
