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.

Metro smart cards may soon be used in Delhi buses

The Delhi Metro’s Smart Cards will soon be valid for travel in both the metro trains as well in buses being run in the national capital.  The smart cards would also be integrated with the National Common Mobility Card - More (peacock). The facility would help commuters use all kinds of transport in the city with one single card. The cards would, however, be renamed as ‘Yatri More Cards’ for this purpose.

The art work for designing the ‘More’ cards is already in progress,” said Urban Development Secretary Sudhir Krishna at a press conference here. Krishna said the facility was  likely to be made operational by May and by the end of the year the common mobility card would...
