Bidar: Vijayapura MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal’s disparaging remarks about Basavanna have not only insulted him but also women, said Dr. Akka Gangambike of the Basava Seva Pratishthana.

Speaking at the Sharana Samskruthi Utsava, she said, “It is unfortunate that Yatnal lacks proper knowledge about Basavanna’s history and principles. During the 12th century, under Basavanna’s leadership, women played a significant role in the Vachana movement. Yatnal’s statement is the height of ignorance,” she expressed with dissatisfaction.

Gurugram (PTI): A three-year-old girl was allegedly raped and strangled to death in Sector 37 by her neighbour, who lured the toddler away from her home at a village located nearby, officials said on Friday.

Police have arrested the accused, who confessed to the crime during interrogation, they said.

On Thursday night, police received a complaint that a minor girl was missing in Mohammadpur Jharsa village, with the family alleging that a man living in the neighbourhood lured her away.

Police arrested the accused, a native of Bihar who worked as a scrap collector in Gurugram, within an hour of filing an FIR at the Sector 37 police station, the officials said.

“During interrogation, the accused disclosed that late on Thursday evening, he lured the minor girl to a secluded place in Sector 37, where he first raped the toddler and then strangled her to death to wipe out evidence. Further questioning is underway,” a spokesperson for Gurugram police said.
