32 nurses, who studied in mangaluru, rescued from human trafficking racket
Accused was running education consultancy in Mangaluru
Bengaluru: As many as 32 women nursing graduates from Kerala, who completed their graduation in Mangaluru, have been rescued from human trafficking racket.
They were suspected to be victims of human trafficking racket and were rescued at Kempegowda International Airport when they were on their way to pursue a short-term course to learn German at the University of Traditional Medicine of Armenia (UTMA).
Based on a complaint filed by immigration officials of KIA, Northeast-division DCP Kala Krishnaswamy arrested one Tony Tom, who was taking the women to Armenia.
According to police, Tom runs an education consultancy in Mangaluru and offered to facilitate the study at UTMA. Tom was arrested at around 4 am on Tuesday when he, along with the victims, came to the airport to catch a flight for Armenia. Immigration officials suspected foul play as they doubted the existence of such a course in the university. They then handed over tom and nurses to BIAL police for investigation.

Man wanted in rape-murder case of his 4-year-old niece killed in police encounter in Ghaziabad
Ghaziabad (UP) (PTI): A 55-year-old criminal wanted in the case of rape and murder of his four-year-old niece was killed in a police encounter late on Sunday night in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad district, a police official said on Monday.
In the joint operation carried out by the police and Crime Branch, the accused Jeeshan, carrying a cash reward of Rs 50,000, allegedly opened fire to evade arrest, resulting in injuries to two personnel, the police said.
According to the police, at around 12 noon on April 11, Jeeshan allegedly lured the child from outside her home on the pretext of buying her toffees. He took her to his room, where he allegedly raped her and subsequently strangled her to death. Following the crime, the accused carried the body on his shoulders and dumped it under a car on an 80-foot road in the Shalimar Garden police station area before fleeing.

Two days ago, his presence was captured on CCTV footage at Delhi railway station when he was trying to flee out of Delhi. The police received a tip-off that the accused was scheduled to meet someone near the Banthla canal in Loni, the police said.
Following this, a team of the Teela Morh police station barricaded the area, and began checking. They spotted the suspect and signalled him to stop. Upon seeing the police, Jeeshan attempted to flee. Finding himself encircled by the police, he allegedly opened fire on the police team. The police fired in self-defence, in which the accused sustained gunshot wounds. He was rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead, the police said.
ACP Shalimar Garden Atul Kumar Singh said that the accused was killed in retaliatory firing and the injured policemen -- head constables Amit and Iqbal -- are out of danger.
The body of the deceased has been sent for a post-mortem examination, Singh said, and added that the police have recovered weapons and cartridges from his possession.
