UP-shocker: Five-men rape mother-of-two, then burn her alive in temple
Uttar Pradesh, July 15: In a shocking incident, a mother of two, aged 35 years, was gang-raped by five men in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal and then burnt alive in a nearby temple on Saturday.
The horrific incident took place when the woman was sleeping with her kids in their home.
The men barged in at around 2:30 AM and then took turns to rape her.
Woman dialled 100 for help, no one answered the call
The woman's husband, who works as a laborer in Ghaziabad, said it was raining heavily and only one kerosene lamp was lit in the house when the men raped his wife.
After they left, the victim called her cousin to narrate what happened since her husband's and brother's phones were unreachable.
She even dialled 100 in hope of help, but the call went unanswered.
Before help could arrive, the men returned to torch woman
Before the victim's cousin could inform other family members about the incident, the men returned again, the husband said. "They dragged my wife out and took her to a nearby temple where they torched her at the 'yagyashala'," the husband detailed in the police complaint.
The accused were harassing the woman for months
The accused, Aram Singh, Mahaveer, Charan Singh, Gullu and Kumarpal, are residents of the same village and allegedly had been harassing the victim for months.
A case has been registered under IPC sections 376D (gang rape), 302 (murder), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence), 147 (punishment for rioting), 148 (rioting, armed with deadly weapon) and 149 (offence committed in prosecution of common object).

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
