New Delhi, May 27: A 30-year-old pregnant woman was mowed down by a car on the Baba Ganganath Marg at Vasant Vihar, close to the Jawaharlal Nehru University-Priya complex crossing, on Saturday. The incident took place around 9am when the deceased was waiting with her husband, an auto driver, to go for her checkup.

The deceased, Chandni (30), was a resident of Munirka. This is the third instance when a pregnant woman has died in an accident this year.

A case of causing death due to rash and negligent driving has been registered at the Vasant Vihar Police Station. According to police, the incident was not really a result of reckless driving. The car has been impounded and no one has been arrested so far.

"An i-10 was heading towards Munirka when a boy appeared in front of the car trying to cross the road. This is the same area where work on widening of the road was taking place. The car tried to swerve, avoiding collision with the boy, and entered the opposite carriageway (narrowed for the ongoing work) and rammed into the deceased. She was taken to AIIMS but there she was declared brought dead,'' said a senior police officer.

The accused fled the spot after abandoning the car, police said. "We have got the necessary details of the car owner and he will be nabbed soon,'' said an officer.

Khammam, Jun 29: In an outrageous incident, some youths beat up a monkey and strung it up on a tree to death while also releasing dogs to attack it in Ammapalem village in Telangana's Khammam district.

A video of the heinous incident of animal cruelty has surfaced on social media, in which the monkey is seen hanging by a rope from a tree, desperately flailing its limbs while a couple of dogs attempt to pounce on and torment the hapless simian. After a while, several men are seen in the video approaching the animal with long sticks.

Forest officials have charged one villager Venkateshwar Rao under Wildlife Protection Act along with the other accused and arrested them. They were released on bail on Saturday and are set to be summoned for questioning by forest officials.

Rao had spotted the monkey, which had entered his residence apparently in search of food and beat it with a stick and hung it from a tree with the help of his friend.

In the video of the incident, Rao could also be seen instructing his pet dogs to bite the monkey, which was fighting for its life.

Mathura, Jul 22: A local court in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura on Wednesday sentenced 11 policemen, including the then Deputy Superintendent of Police, to life imprisonment in a case pertaining to the murder of royal Raja Man Singh in 1985.

District Judge Sadhana Rani Thakur announced the life imprisonment sentence a day after holding them guilty of the killing. Three policemen were, however, acquitted. Four men died during the trial.

The policemen were convicted under Section 302 (murder), 148 (rioting) and 149 (Every member of unlawful assembly guilty of offence committed in prosecution of common object) of the Indian Penal Code.

The verdict comes 35 years after Man Singh was killed. He, along with two others, was shot dead in police firing a day after he crashed his jeep into the then Rajasthan Chief Minister Shiv Charan Mathur's helicopter in a fit of anger.
