Santabommali (Srikakulam), July 30: A 20-year old girl, who came to Bhavanapadu beach in Santabommali mandal with her 22-year-old boyfriend, was stripped and molested by two youths. The accused were taken into custody by the Naupada police on Sunday morning.

The victims, believed to be engineering students, came to the beach, 80 km from Srikakulam, on Saturday to spend some time together. The accused youth were identified as Komara Ravi and Aadla Durvasulu who, police said, had a track record of indulging in such crimes in the past. The hapless girl who was stripped was rescued by villagers.

The girl and her friend belonging to Charla of Julumuru mandal and Amudalavalasa were teased by the accused duo. When the couple resisted it, the duo tied the boy to a tree and beat him up. They stripped the girl and molested her in front of her friend.

"They snatched her gold chain, mobile phone and money. They also took her nude pictures on her mobile phone," a police official said.

The girl raised an alarm and screamed for help. She ran away from the miscreants, who chased her. Some fisherwomen in the village close to the beach saw the naked girl and rescued her. On seeing the villagers, the miscreants fled the spot. The boy and the girl refused to divulge their identities and left the place without lodging any police complaint.

The Naupada police swung into action only after the villagers and the village revenue officer (VRO) brought the incident to their notice on Sunday. Based on the descriptions given by the villagers, the cops took Ravi and Durvasulu, petty criminals, into custody. "We have registered a case under section 342, 354, 506, 509 read with 34 of IPC against the duo," Kasibugga DSP P Kumar said. The accused are aged between 24 and 28 years.

Sources said the villagers were shocked to see the girl running without clothes. Women of the village gave her clothes. A police official said the accused belong to the fisherfolk community. "They had committed similar crimes before but neither the victims nor the villagers had come forward to report the matter to the police," sources said. Till now, not a single case has been reported to the police because the victims were worried about their names appearing in the media, police sources said. The incident spot is close to two engineering colleges in Palasa and Tekkali, 20 to 25 km from Bhavanapadu beach. College students head to the beach often to spend some time there, sources said.

Farukkhabad, Jan 14: In a shocking incident, a new-born baby was mauled to death by a dog inside the operation theatre (OT) of a private hospital in Farukkhabad on Monday.

Family members of the baby boy said that they noticed the hospital staff shooing a dog away from inside the operation theatre and soon after, they were told the baby boy, born just two hours ago, was dead.

The family members said that they found the baby's body on the floor and it had deep gashes around the neck and other parts of the body.

District magistrate Manvendra Singh has ordered an FIR and the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Chandra Shekhar said the hospital has been sealed and an inquiry ordered into the incident.

Sources said that the hospital where the incident took place was unregistered and was being run adjacent to a government hospital.

According to the FIR lodged with Sadar Kotwali police, the infant's father Ravi Kumar said he had admitted his wife Kanchan in the hospital on Monday and she was taken for a C-section to the operation theatre.

After the delivery, Kanchan was shifted to the ward but the family was told that the baby would be shifted later.

An hour later, the family was informed that the baby had died.

The family members then saw the hospital staff trying to chase a dog out of the operation theatre.

The family members forced their way into the operation theatre and found the infant lying on the floor with several injuries on the neck.

The police said that the baby's body has been preserved for examination and post mortem.

The FIR has been registered against Dr Mohit Gupta, and some of the staff members who were present during the delivery.

The hospital owner, Vijay Patel, however, feigned complete ignorance about the incident and said that he had been told that the baby was born dead.
