Indian youth stabbed to death in Australia



Melbourne: A 21-year-old Indian youth with permanent residency in Australia was fatally stabbed in the abdomen by unidentified assailants here while on his way to work, the first death in a slew of vicious attacks on the community members.



Nitin Garg who migrated from Punjab was attacked in a park when he was walking towards fast-food joint Hungry Jack's restaurant where he worked part-time.



He staggered into the restaurant on the corner of Somerville Road and Geelong Road, West Footscray, about 10 pm local time last night (0330 HRS IST this morning) and pleaded for help before collapsing.



He was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital but later died, according to TV reports.



Police said the youth from Newport had travelled to Yarraville train station about 9.30 pm local time (0300 HRS IST) then walked along Anderson Street to Cruickshank Park, where he was stabbed in the abdomen.



He managed to stumble some 300 metres to the Hungry Jack's restaurant.



Homicide Squad Senior Sergeant Dave Snare described it as a vicious attack. He said at this stage there was no known motive and there was no evidence the youth was targeted because of his race.



"I think to draw any conclusion as to the motive may interfere with the investigation and would be presumptuous at this stage," he said.



Police were trying to contact relatives of the victim, a single man who had permanent residency in Australia abroad to determine if he had any family here.



Nearly 100 cases of attacks on Indians had been reported in Australia in 2009 as against 17 incidents of assaults in 2008.



But Garg who was the first Indian to be attacked this year, had been the only victim of such assaults to succumb to his injuries.



His friends said he feared for his safety following a previous attack, local media reported, without mentioning when it had happened.



His housemate Parminder Singh said his friend was nervous after being beaten up by a group of men at the Newport Railway Station.



"They were just drunk and they wanted to find anyone to beat," Singh was quoted as saying by ABC News. "If they find someone alone they just beat (them) because they know nothing is going to happen after that.



"What will happen? Police will not do anything, they will just take them to the jail or just let them sit there, they will give them food and all facilities so they're not scared of anything."



Police Senior Sergeant Snare said police had not found a weapon yet. "We've had forensic out at examining the scene out at Hungry Jacks and in the park and also, with the assistance of the SES (State Emergency Service), we've done a line search through the park area," he said.

Quote:Police identify burnt body by rural road

15:37 AEST Wed Jan 6 2010



Police have identified a partially burnt body found beside a rural road in southwest NSW as that of Indian national Ranjodh Singh.



Mr Singh, aged 25, had been living at Wagga Wagga and was visiting Griffith at the time of his death. A passer-by found his body on December 29 beside Wilga Road at Willbriggie.



Inquiries led investigators to a Kookora Street home at Griffith where a search began on Tuesday night.



Griffith police Inspector Paul Smith on Wednesday described Mr Singh's death as "horrific" and repeated an appeal for public information.



"We are reaching out to all members of the Griffith community to come forward, including members of the local Indian community who might hold crucial information that could be the key to solving Mr Singh's death," Insp Smith said in a statement.



"To assist with the investigation we have appointed an Indian-speaking detective as a liaison officer, who speaks Punjab and Hindi, and I would urge anyone with any information no matter how small, to contact us."



Police also want to hear from anyone who was in the area near Kookora Street and Griffin Lane in Griffith between midnight (AEDT) on December 28 and December 29.

“I was in London recently going through the airport and these new machines have come up, the body scans. You’ve got to see them. It makes you embarrassed – if you’re not well endowed,” said Khan, referring to how the scans produce clear images of a person’s genitals.

“You walk into the machine and everything – the whole outline of your body – comes out,” he said.

“I was a little scared. Something happens [inside the scans], and I came out. Then I saw these girls – they had these printouts. I looked at them. I thought they were some forms you had to fill. I said ‘give them to me’ – and you could see everything inside. So I autographed them for them,” stated Khan.

The story was carried by Yahoo News under the headline “Shah Rukh signs off sexy body-scan printouts at Heathrow”.

Khan’s reference to “girls” with printouts of his naked body scan can only refer to female airport security staff responsible for processing the images produced by the scanners, “professionals” who are supposed to instantly delete the images, according to Lord Adonis.

Quote:Indian toddler found dead, Australian police clueless

MELBOURNE: A team of homicide detectives are searching for clues a day after a three-year-old Indian boy was found dead near Melbourne airport following his sudden disappearance from a house 20 km away.



The body of Gurshan Singh Channa was found on Wildwood Road, Oaklands Junction Thursday night after a massive search following complaint by his parents who were staying in Lalor on a holiday.



The incident came to light after Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith visited New Delhi Wednesday in the wake of series of attacks against Indians Dawn Under.



An autopsy on the toddler's body has not revealed how he died. Further forensic tests will be conducted to ascertain the cause of death, police said Friday.



The boy's mother Harpreet Kaur Channa called the police 45 minutes after he went missing. Police said the boy was found in the same clothes he was wearing when he went missing - a grey top and blue jeans.



They, however, declined to give details of injuries he had suffered, or to speculate on the precise cause of his death, according to The Age.



Detective Inspector Steve Clark, who is heading the investigation into the case, said Friday an autopsy has been conducted but the results were inconclusive.



He said police were appealing for anyone who witnessed the body being dumped near Oaklands Junction or who saw the boy in the streets around his parent's Lalor home after he went missing.



Detectives were returning to Lalor Friday to re-interview neighbours and people who were living in the house with the boy's parents.



Gurshan's parents have asked to see the boy's body and arrangements will be made for them to see him at the Coroner's Court today, where they are also receiving counselling.

Lover murders pregnant girlfriend in public loo



Soumittra S Bose, TNN, Mar 8, 2010



NAGPUR:



Tragedy struck Sakhre family of Bhankheda the second time in just over a month. It had lost eldest son Prateek, 28, to illness just five weeks ago. On Sunday when the family was preparing for the ritual after completion of one-and-quarter month of Prateek's death, the body of their second daughter, 20-year-old Pallavi, was found in community latrine for the women's, strangled to death by her lover. Initial investigations revealed that Pallavi was four months pregnant.



She was allegedly coaxed into physical intimacy before being strangled inside the congested latrine. Sources from Tehsil police station said that Pallavi was smothered before she was throttled with her own kameez and her partially naked body left. Police have arrested Pallavi's paramour Mohammed Shamim, alias Shammi, 25, a married man, for the murder. Police have applied the charge of murder (302 of the Indian Penal Code) but are yet to decide on adding rape charge. Pallavi was first year student of arts' stream in PWS college.



[color="#0000FF"]Shamim, a carpenter, was apparently having an amorous relationship with Pallavi for last two years. She had also undergone abortion once in the past. Sources claimed that Pallavi was demanding some money from Shamim to terminate her pregnancy and also wanted him to marry her. She had threatened Shamim, who is married to Rizwana Parveen and has a nine-month-old daughter, that she would go to his house on Sunday. Police said that this led to an altercation between them resulting in violent end. Sources said that Shamim's wife Rizwana already knew about the affair and was livid about it. Police said that Shammi had called up on Pallavi's younger sister Rinku's cellphone at 10 pm on Saturday. He wanted to speak to Pallavi who was sitting outside the home. [/color]



"My sister left home after the call," said Rinku adding that the family was busy preparing for Sunday's ritual when Pallavi sneaked out of home without speaking to anyone. Family members were worried when she did not return in the night. "We were not sure what to do. This had never happened before. But we did not approach the police," said Pallavi's distraught father Yogeshwar. Pallavi's mother Shardabai, who was sobbing uncontrollably, works with the Nagpur Municipal Corporation. The family wanted to resume searching in the morning as relatives and others were expected at the residence for the rituals. In the morning, it was left shocked when a few women from the neighbourhood raised an alarm seeing body of Pallavi inside the latrine.
