    Indian in US kills pregnant daughter, her familyFiled Under: India, Indians

    MARKHAM (Illinois): A man faces murder charges for the deaths of his pregnant daughter and her family, crime authorities allege stemmed from his anger over his son-in-law’s failure to secure his permission for the marriage.

    Subhash Chander, 57, was being held without bond on three counts of first-degree murder and one count of intentional homicide of an unborn child in connection with the fatal fire on Saturday in the Chicago suburb of Oak Forest.

    Chander told police he disliked Rajesh Kumar, his 36-year-old son-in-law because he belonged to a lower caste, said Robert Milan, Cook County’s first assistant state’s attorney.

    He allegedly set the fire that killed Kumar, Monika Rani, 22, and their three-year-old son, Vansh, authorities said. Rani was five months pregnant.

    Chander was represented by a public defender at a bond hearing on Tuesday, but his name was not immediately available.

    वॉशिंगटन : अमेरिका के इलिनॉयस में एक 57 वर्षीय भारतीय ने अपनी गर्भवती बेटी , दामाद और नाती को जिंदा जला दिया। इस व्यक्ति ने अपनी बेटी के ‘ निचली जाति ‘ के व्यक्ति से शादी करने के कारण यह कदम उठाया। सुभाष चंद पर तीन हत्याएं करने और अजन्मे बच्चे की जान लेने का दोषी ठहराया गया है।

    न्यायाधीश मार्टिन ई . मैकडॉफ ने सुभाष को जमानत देने से इनकार कर दिया। पुलिस प्रशासन ने बताया कि वीकेंड में सुभाष चंद ने अपनी बेटी के मकान में आग लगाकर मोनिका रानी (22), राजेश कुमार (36), उनके बेटे वंश (3) को जिंदा जला दिया। रानी पांच माह की गर्भवती थी।

    चंद ने पुलिस को बताया कि वह अपनी बेटी तथा दामाद के कारण परेशान थे क्योंकि उन्होंने उसकी मर्जी के बिना शादी कर ली थी और वह कुमार को ‘ निचली जाति ‘ का मानते थे। राज्य के प्रथम सहायक अटॉर्नी जनरल रॉबर्ट मिलान के हवाले से मीडिया ने यह जानकारी दी। लेकिन चंद की बहन ने बताया कि यह सही नहीं है। उसने कहा कि परिवार ने इस शादी को स्वीकार कर लिया था और जात पात उनके परिवार के लिए कोई मुद्दा नहीं है।

    बताया जाता है कि हादसे की रात चंद अपने बेटे के लिए पेट्रोल लेने पेट्रोल पंप गया लेकिन बाद में उसने कंटेनर को अपनी बेटी को देने का फैसला किया। बेटी के घर पहुंचने पर कुमार ने उससे कहा कि देर हो चुकी है और वे अपने घर जाएं।

    चंद ने पुलिस को बताया कि कुमार ने उसे धकेलना शुरू कर दिया जिससे पेट्रोल दरवाजे के आसपास गिर गया। इससे उसे गुस्सा आ गया और उसने अपनी जेब से लाइटर निकाल कर वहां बिछे कारपेट में आग लगा दी। चंद ने बताया कि उसने आग लगने की सूचना देने के लिए पुलिस या अग्निशमन विभाग को फोन नहीं किया ना ही यह जानने के लिए अपनी बेटी को फोन किया कि वह और उसका परिवार सुरक्षित है या नहीं।

    मिलान ने बताया कि पेट्रोल पंप के एक सहायक ने चंद की पहचान की जो पेट्रोल लेने वहां गया था। पुलिस ने भी प्लास्टिक के पेट्रोल कंटेनर को बरामद कर लिया जिसमें चंद के नाम की पर्ची भी लगी थी। पीड़ितों की मौत जहरीली कार्बन मोनोऑक्साइड गैस तथा धुएं के कारण हुई। कुक काउंटी के मेडिकल परीक्षक कार्यालय ने इस घटना को नरसंहार बताया है। यह घटना इलाके के एक दो मंजिला अपार्टमेंट के दूसरे तल पर हुई। इस इलाके में अधिकतर नए कामकाजी अप्रवासी और खासतौर से भारत से आए लोग रहते हैं। आग अपार्टमेंट के अन्य घरों तक भी फैल गई।

    अपार्टमेंट में रहने वाले करमजीत सिंह ने बताया , ‘ आग में सब सामान जल गया। मेरे पास केवल यही जैकेट बची है जो मैंने पहन रखी है। मुझे इस घटना पर यकीन नहीं हो रहा है। ‘

    Desi rakhi-sawant-abhishek-police-star-plus- Investigation into complaint against Star Plus

    Crime Branch Deptt. Of the Mumbai Police will enquire into Rakhi Sawant’s and Abhishek’s complaint against Star Plus, the reality show owner of Nach Baliye-3.

    • On 15th December, 2007, TV stars Sanjeeda and her Baliye Amir were declared winners of the third Nach Baliye reality dance show, Rakhi-Abhishek were declared the runners up (read related article on this in Bestdesi.com)
      • Rakhi alleges that voting was tampered and SMSs in her support were blocked, thus indulging in software manipulation. She further alleges that even before the results were out, they had known that they were lost in the run. She adds that  the channel was trying to promote its own shows by ensuring victory for those who act in them, she added. Both Sanjida and Amir act in different serials aired on Star Plus.
      • The duo alleges that if the police do not enquire into the matter under “cyber crime”, such frauds  will never stop and Rakhi has pleaded the Mumbai Police to act as “Santa” and initiate action against the channel and the show organizers.
      • Incidentally, Mumbai Police has made it clear that was  a “non priority” matter and would be probed in a routine manner only as according to the Police there are far bigger issues of importance than this, so they will deploy their men as per the merits of the case.
      • Rakhi also challenged other contestants saying, “I and Abhishek will be performing on 31st night, which will be a challenge for us and everybody else. People will come to know the real abilities of Rakhi and Abhishek.”
      • We at BestDesi.com feels that all over again this is a media hype feat of Rakhi, she is not even an established actress and as us usual Rakhi is very superlative undertaking these form of gimmicks and it is absolute squander of time on her part to do these type of campaigns thus wasting the time and energy of Mumbai Police who have lots of other significant everyday jobs on their shoulders than intriguing care of melodramatic queen Rakhi’s tantrums. She just wants to create a controversy for the sake of it, she lost because of her DIRTY image rather than vote rigging.

      Crane BediFiled Under: Crane Bedi, IPS, India, Indian Police, Indians, Women

      Dr.Kiran Bedi, IPS Officer is a role model to the women of substance:

      • · According to Kiran Bedi , “My concept of a modern woman is a liberated woman. Educated or not, economically independent or not, such a woman is capable of taking her own decisions and standing by them, and-whether she suffers from them or not-she does not look for a shoulder to weep on.” Even so, she says, women “need more quality education and much more vocational training to become truly empowered.” Property ownership is another key to empowerment. “With ownership (or joint ownership),” she says, “a man cannot drink away the family’s property, or sell it and leave the woman and children on the street.· Accomplishing that goal has become the number one priority of the National Commission for Women in India, but the government continues to drag its feet. Political parties must come together in support of this program as well as in support of family planning and more equitable educational opportunities. If they do not, the next generation will not have enough schools, teachers, transportation, health care, housing, or work. Such a situation is a recipe for civil unrest.” For India as a whole, Kiran says, “the key to change lies in the empowerment of village women-the largest percentage of women in India-but change in rural areas is agonizingly slow in coming.”

        · Empowerment is related to population. “India is a rich country and should be a beautifully developed country,” Kiran says. “If population had been controlled twenty years ago there would be surplus rather than scarcity, and current growth would not be held captive by the ever-present need to feed new mouths. Women must learn and be allowed to say, ‘No! I don’t want any more than this.’ When that day arrives, daughters will be seen to be as much of an asset as sons, because educated daughters will be as equally capable to take care of parents in their old age as sons. Therefore, economically empowered women are crucial in the struggle to shape a new India.”

        · In 1994, backing up her commitment to support reform in several areas, Kiran created the India Vision Foundation, a registered nongovernmental organization designed to carry out projects in the fields of prison reform, drug abuse prevention, empowerment of women, assistance to the mentally disabled, and sports promotion.

        · Kiran, who has lived most of her life in the public view, has become a role model for Indian women-the disadvantaged, the marginalized, and the voiceless. Many believe that she literally embodies the struggle for gender equality. She has constantly had to fight against the commonly accepted bias that she is, after all, only female. She has had to battle systems that codify the dehumanization of women, and cultures that are all too willing to toss the talents and potential contributions of women on the rubbish dump. Kiran’s “crimes” have included functioning as an equal, speaking the truth as she saw it, having and implementing original ideas, working hard, and garnering success. And her lack of interest in “playing the game,” within a service in which professionalism has been replaced by favouritism, has been costly both professionally and personally. Although she has realized her childhood dream to “count for something,” her path has not been easy or without the need for sacrifice.

        · Even her achievements and awards for service fuel controversy. Some, in looking at her history, see a dedicated and successful officer. Others, generally from among the ranks of the privileged and powerful, see an uppity woman-a narcissistic, publicity-hungry, regulation-flaunting, self-serving, rogue officer who constantly needs to be kept in her place.

        · There is no need to say anything specific about this great Indian,” says Gulzar, “She won the Magasaysay Award for her work among prisoners. She has shown what a police officer should be like to our country. She is an icon and a model for all Indian women. We are proud of her because of her many-splendour personality. Whichever function she graces, she adds enlightenment and humour to it. Hers is truly an awesome presence.”

        · The first woman IPS officer of India was denied the post of the Commissioner of Police, Delhi. Known for her dedication, she changed the face of Tihar prison as IG, Prisons. She is known for her outstanding work as Police Advisor in the UN peacekeeping department.

        · Kiran Bedi, New Delhi’s renowned Inspector General of Prisons, described her presence at Asia Plateau as `a pilgrimage fulfilled’. She had been the first woman recruited to the Indian Police Force, in the 1970s, and when supervisor of Asia’s largest prison, in New Delhi, had introduced Gandhian philosophy and practice. This had dramatically.

        · Whatever the outcome, her commitment to family planning, prison reform, women’s emancipation, and education for independence will continue.

        · As Kiran Bedi likes Anne Dresskell’s saying “If you look out to do something, it is always possible.”
