Ghaziabad's miracle girl lured with peanuts and Rs 30, rapist held

GHAZIABAD: The girl who was raped and left to die on railway tracks in Ghaziabad last week was targeted by a man who knew her and was from the same village.   

The accused, Feroz, 21, was arrested from Hapur on Saturday , police said. Feroz, who lives in Kaila Bhatta village, admitted to having taken the eightyear-old girl to a secluded spot behind his house and raped her.   

"He told us that he knew the victim and lured her by offering Rs 30 and some peanuts. After taking her to a deserted spot, he forced himself on her. He denied having any business rivalry with her father.   

When the girl started bawling and complaining of pain, he promised to take her to hospital . On the way, however, the accused was gripped by the fear of getting caught and decided to kill her. He threw her 20 feet down from a bridge to the Delhi-Kanpur track and fled. We have registered a case under IPC sections 376, 307 and 363," said SSP (Ghaziabad) Raghuvir Lal.   

However, the girl survived the brutal murder attempt. She lay between two tracks on Delhi-Howrah railway section in the chilly winter night. Despite several trains passing over her, the girl remained unhurt.   

On the morning of February 6, locals rushed her to MMG Hospital. She has sustained a hip-joint fracture and severe head injuries   

"We have collected all forensic evidence. The girl has recovered and would be able to give her statement in court," said the circle officer-I of the area, Rajesh Bharti.

he red brick structure of Delhi Public School (DPS) Ghaziabad stands in stark contrast to the dusty road that leads to the school.

Auto rickshaws were seen plying on city roads on Monday.

Autos were seen ferrying passengers at the Vaishali metro station, the terminal point of the metro line in Ghaziabad, on Monday. Autos also have been moving through Mohan Nagar, Link Road, GT Road and other parts of Ghaziabad.  Members of the Ghaziabad Three-Wheeler Auto Chalak Union, however, said the strike has not been called off.  Regular movement of autos in the city on Monday has spared commuters from inconveniences that were faced a day earlier on roads.

Ghaziabad Metro phase-2 project hangs fire over funding

GHAZIABAD: The second phase of Ghaziabad's ambitious Metro project -from Dilshad Garden in Delhi to New Bus Stand -is facing uncertainty over funding.  Principal secretary (housing) and Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) chairman Sadakant Shukla on Monday said the UP government had not allocated any funds for the project in its budget and the state agencies that had promised to partly fund the Rs 2,208 crore project were now backing out.  However, modalities are being worked out for ensuring the ongoing Metro work is not affected due to paucity of funds and a decision is likely to be taken soon in Lucknow over external funding for the project if state government agencies failed to pay up their share of costs, Shukla said.  In fact, the Metro project is being jointly funded by the Centre, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and the UP government. While the Centre and DMRC have pledged Rs 730 crore for the project, the state government will be bearing a burden of Rs...
