A serial killer raped and killed nine children in two years: Police

Published

on

A 20-year-old man identified as Sunil Kumar arrested on charges of raping and killing a three-year-old girl on November 11 confessed in front of the police on Wednesday that he raped at least nine girls aged between three to seven years in the past two years.

He raped girls in four different cities New Delhi, Gurugram, Jhansi, and Gwalior, said police.

He did not show any feeling of deep regret for what he did, the police said. He answered every question asked calmly. He said that he did not remember when he committed his first crime.

The case spotlights the number of young children who go missing every year in India and raises the question of whether the police have sufficient resources to investigate such brutal sex crimes.

Sunil Kumar was arrested on Monday man on charges of raping and killing a three-year-old girl on November 11 in a slum area of the city of Gurugram.

The police said the unemployed killer said he mostly targeted those children who visited bhandaras or community kitchens for free meals. He offered sweets and money and then abducts them.

“He used to first break the legs of the victims before attempting rape,” said Subhash Boken, an assistant sub-inspector and public relations officer with Gurugram police. “Then he would murder them.”

Police investigated all complaints of missing girls below 10 years in the city. They linked three cases of dead children to his statement and are investigating the rest.

The alleged killer has so far confessed to killing and raping nine innocent girls since November 2016, he raped and murdered four girls in Delhi, three girls in Gurugram, one in Gawlior and one in Jhansi.

Sunil told police he raped all the girls twice before killing them. The police said Sunil said he is addicted to alcohol, but the way he searches and chooses his target, does not seem like work of a drunken man. Sunil told interrogators he only targets little girls because they would not be able to tell their parents clearly about him. But none of his victims survived as he killed them very brutally.

Sunil also said the first time he committed the crime was in Delhi, Sangam Vihar. He went there to attend a wedding ceremony, in 2015. There he targeted a 16-year- old girl, and he himself would have been around 17 at that time. His attack becomes unsuccessful as the girl shouted; he saved his life and ran away. He never visited there ever again.

His victims were mostly the daughter of migrants who keep changing their cities. Sunil’s sister and mother live in Gurugram. He said his family was aware of his behaviour and told him to stay at home. They tried to confine him but he would find a way to escape.

“It is very unfortunate that such cases are still happening in India, despite the government framing a law and approving the death penalty for rape,” said Priti Mahara, an official of child rights organization CRY.

Mohanlal as Stephen Nedumpally in the teaser of L2: Empuraan

The much-anticipated teaser for L2: Empuraan, the second chapter of the planned trilogy directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, has been unveiled, offering a glimpse of a darker, more brutal narrative. Starring Malayalam cinema legend Mohanlal, the film continues the story of Stephen Nedumpally, also known as Khureshi Ab’raam, a character that mesmerized audiences in Lucifer.

The teaser debuted at a grand event attended by the film’s key players, including Mohanlal, Prithviraj, and Mammootty, who released the teaser in style. Clocking in at 143 seconds, the preview immediately sets a grim tone, beginning in Qaraqosh, a war-torn town in Iraq. The atmosphere is tense, underscored by the chilling phrase, “Death to the Evil.”

One of the standout moments in the teaser recalls PK Ramdas (Sachin Khedekar) advising Priyadarshini (Manju Warrier) in the first film: “If one day you feel everything is falling apart and I’m not around, the only person you can turn to is Stephen.” This sentiment reverberates through the teaser as it shifts to Stephen’s iconic black Ambassador car, now layered with dust—an ominous sign of his long absence.

The suspense builds as a voice declares, “He leads the most powerful mercenary group in Asia,” introducing audiences to Stephen’s transformation into a figure commanding immense influence and fear. The teaser’s climactic moments highlight Mohanlal’s commanding return as Khureshi Ab’raam, warning of the perils of dealing with the devil.

Star-Studded Cast and Stellar Crew

Joining Mohanlal in this cinematic spectacle are Manju Warrier, Indrajith Sukumaran, Tovino Thomas, and others reprising their roles from Lucifer. The film also features Saniya Iyappan, Saikumar, Baiju Santhosh, Fazil, and Sachin Khedekar in key roles.

The story, penned by Murali Gopy, is brought to life with the expertise of cinematographer Sujith Vaassudev, editor Akhilesh Mohan, and composer Deepak Dev, whose score amplifies the teaser’s intensity.

As the teaser hints at power struggles, deceit, and vengeance, L2: Empuraan sets the stage for an explosive continuation of this gripping saga, leaving fans eagerly awaiting its release.

JPC clears Waqf Amendment Bill with 14 changes, Opposition cries foul

Published

on

By

The Waqf Amendment Bill is poised for a final vote on January 29 in the Joint Parliamentary Committee. The committee had been tasked with reviewing the bill by November 29, which was then extended to February 13, approved 14 changes to the draft. The 44 amendments proposed by the Opposition were rejected by its chairman BJP MP Jagadambika Pal.

The Opposition had accused the BJP of bias in several sittings of the committee leading to the suspension of several MPs, including Kalyan Banerjee of Trinamool Congress and Asaduddin Owaisi of the AIMIM, both vocal critics of the Bill.

The Opposition MPs had also written to Speaker Om Birla against Pal, saying he was rushing the Bill to gain political mileage ahead of the Delhi Assembly election due to be held on February 5.

Earlier, reports had said Banerjee had broken a glass during a verbal altercation while in deliberations with BJP MP and former Calcutta HC judge Abhijit Gangopadhyay.

The Bill aims to reform Waqf Board administration, mandating the inclusion of non-Muslim and women members. The Central Waqf Council’s composition would also change, incorporating a Union minister, MPs, ex-judges, and individuals of national repute, regardless of religious affiliation. Crucially, the Council’s land acquisition powers would be removed. A controversial clause restricts donations to Muslims practicing their faith for at least five years, prompting concerns about religious freedom.

While proponents claim the bill empowers Muslim women and children, critics, including the Congress and the DMK, allege it infringes upon Articles 15 and 30 of the Constitution, which guarantee freedom of religion and the right of minorities to administer educational institutions. The final report is expected by January 31.
