Army man held for sexually assaulting 14-month-old girl

Bangalore, Jan 28: A 35-year-old Army man was arrested on charges of sexually assaulting a 14-month-old baby girl at the Para Regimental Centre (PRC) quarters, near Mehkri Circle , on Sunday evening.

Dharam Veer Singh, a Naik (corporal) with the PRC located at ML Lines in JC Nagar, was charged with assaulting the daughter of his friend, colleague and neighbour.

Confirming the arrest, deputy commissioner of police (North) Sandeep Patil said: "The victim's father has alleged that on Sunday evening, he asked Dharam Veer to babysit his child as he and his wife had to go out on work. The couple returned home in the night and found the baby wailing. An examination revealed injuries on the child's private parts."

The parents rushed the child to a private hospital. The father complained to the JC Nagar police.

The child and the accused were asked to undergo medical tests. "We are waiting for the test results before taking up further investigations," Patil said. The girl was discharged on Monday morning.

Brahmin Savarkar was non-veg eater; wasn't against cow slaughter: Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao

News Network

October 3,2024

Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao reminded that V D Savarkar was not against cow slaughter as he himself was non-veg eater, PTI reported on Thursday.

"As a Brahmin he was eating meat, and he was openly propagating eating meat," said the minister at an event in Bengaluru.

Reacting to Gundu Rao's claim, BJP MP Anurag Thakur called Congress a "factory of lies" as he warned that India won't tolerate any disrespect towards Savarkar.

"By disrespecting Veer Savarkar they have shown that they don't respect freedom fighters. During the Congress government, Sardar Bhagat Singh was termed a separatist in textbooks...By making those who want to break the nation join the congress party, Rahul Gandhi is taking forward the ideology of 'tukde tukde' and he is a 'modern Jinnah' who speaks ill of the country abroad...," he said.

Meanwhile, a court in Maharashtra's Nashik district summoned Congress MP Rahul Gandhi earlier this week in a defamation case filed against him for his alleged objectionable remarks against the Hindutva ideologue.

The complainant, who is the director of an NGO, claimed he watched a press conference addressed by Gandhi in Hingoli and also a speech made by the Congress leader in November 2022.

He alleged that Gandhi, on the two occasions, by his words and visual representations knowingly harmed the reputation of Veer Savarkar and also tried to defame the latter's image in the society.

According to the complainant, Gandhi said "Savarkar is BJP and RSS jin" which was defamatory in nature.
