  • Crushed under police boot’, newborn dies in Jharkhand; CM orders probe

    Crushed under police boot’, newborn dies in Jharkhand; CM orders probe

    [ad_1]

    Ranchi: A newborn baby died allegedly after being crushed under police boots during a raid in Jharkhand’s Giridih district in the small hours of Wednesday, prompting Chief Minister Hemant Soren to order an investigation.

    The alleged incident, which occurred at Koshodinghi village under Deori police station when police personnel went to a house to arrest two persons in connection with a case, led the opposition BJP to demand suspension of senior officials.

    “It has been alleged that a four-day-old boy died when the police went there to execute two non-bailable warrants issued by the court. Prima facie, external injuries have not been found on the baby’s body. It has been sent for postmortem examination,” Giridih Superintendent of Police Amit Renu told PTI.

    Once the postmortem report comes, the police will be in a position to say what actually happened, the SP said.

    He said the autopsy will be conducted by a team of doctors under the supervision of a magistrate with proper videography.

    “Right now we don’t have any information that any policeman had crushed the infant. If the allegation is found to be true, the erring personnel will not be spared,” Renu said.

    The SP said four to five police personnel had gone to execute non-bailable warrants against Bhushan Pandey, grandfather of the deceased infant, and another person.

    Chief Minister Hemant Soren ordered a probe into the incident after a video went viral in which a person, apparently Bhushan Pandey, is seen alleging that police personnel raided their home at 3.20 am and they opened the door using force when it was not opened.

    “I fled and the women also rushed out. The policemen started searching the house when the four-day-old child was sleeping there. The baby was crushed and killed,” the person in the video claimed.

    Senior BJP leader and former chief minister Babulal Marandi termed the alleged crime ‘heinous’ and demanded immediate filing of FIR in the case besides suspension of senior officials who did not take immediate action.

    “Chief Minister Hemant Soren ji, have some shame. Send a team of senior officials from Ranchi. First of all, get the FIR done and send the policemen who killed the newborn to jail… Otherwise, you will also not be saved from the sin of ‘sarkari hatya’ of a four-day infant,” Maranti tweeted.

    CPI-ML MLA Vinod Kumar Singh raised the issue in the Jharkhand Assembly demanding a thorough probe into the incident and stringent action against the police if the incident is found to be true.

    “This is horrendous. If found true, the guilty should not be spared. The police raid teams should be sensitive towards women and children and exercise caution,” Singh told PTI.

    Ruling JMM legislator from Giridih, Sudivya Kumar, said, “We are waiting for the postmortem report. If it is confirmed that the infant died under police boots, stringent action will be taken against the guilty.”

    Congress legislator Irfan Ansari said action will follow if the incident is found to be true.

    None of the police officials so far could provide details regarding the exact case against the accused for which the raids were conducted.

    Police rushed to the accident site and retrieved the bodies from the mangled car. The bodies were shifted to the government hospital at Kuppam for autopsy.

    Former Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president N. Chandrababu Naidu, who represents Kuppam Assembly constituency, expressed deep shock over the death of three medicos.

    Naidu said it was unfortunate that the young men who had bright futures ahead of them died in the tragic road accident. He conveyed his condolences to the families of the deceased.

  • Turkey earthquake: 19-yr-old woman saves her family from being crushed

    Turkey earthquake: 19-yr-old woman saves her family from being crushed

    [ad_1]

    The presence of mind of a 19-year-old woman from the Turkish city of Antakya, saved her entire family from being crushed under the rubble of the two powerful earthquakes that hit Turkey and Syria on Monday, February 6, killing more than 26,000 people.

    Umit Aslanoglu, got up from bed when her dog “Suzi” got restless and barked into the corridor at night.

    Aslanoglu, who felt the first tremor of the earthquake within seconds, immediately woke up her mother, brother and aunt, according to Anadolu Agency.

    Meanwhile, seeing the surrounding buildings destroyed, Aslanoglu jumps from the balcony onto the piles of rubble to help her brother and aunt to get out of the house.

    As the building shakes with the aftershocks, she returns to save her mother and dog at great risk of her own life.

    “At that time, the building already fell on us. The piles of rubble hit my waist. I pushed the rubble somehow, I got up. Our only way out was jumping from the balcony,” she told Anadolu.

    The family managed to escape to the northern province of Trabzon, where they sought shelter at a relative’s house.

    More than 27,000 people were killed and 85,000 injured in two powerful earthquakes that rocked southern Turkey Monday, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday.

    Search and rescue efforts continue in areas where people were pulled alive from the rubble after the earthquakes that lasted for more than 100 hours.
