VIBGYOR – POCSO ACT 2012

Bindu1 Comment

Dear friends,

following the incident at VIBGYOR Bangalore, its Charmain has been arrested. Here is a news article which talks about POSCO ACT and we all should know about it. I am copy pasting the content from 

http://bangalore.citizenmatters.in/articles/vibgyor-rustum-kerawala-arrested-bangalore-rape-case-posco

He has been booked under section 23 of Juvenile Justice Act for cruelty to the child, section 21 of the Prevention Of Children from Sexual Offences act (POCSO) act for not reporting rape to police, and section 201 of IPC for destroying evidence.

This means that Rustum Kerawala might face imprisonment upto seven years for destroying evidence of rape, if he is convicted. It also means that he will face imprisonment upto six months and/or fine, for wilfully neglecting the child and causing physical / mental harassment, and for not reporting rape to police or Child Welfare Committee.

“We are probing other staff members as part of investigations. We are trying to normalise the situation, and reopen the school on next Monday,” said Reddi. He added that all such cases should immediately be brought into the notice of the police.

When Citizen Matters asked whether there was enough forensic evidence in case of Mustafa, M N Reddi said, “We cannot reveal that.” When asked why is it taking so much time to arrest the second accused, Reddi said it was because it was a heinous crime and needs enough evidence.

Charges against Vigyor chairman under POSCO act

Section 21(2) of the POSCO law goes into offence comitted by heads of institutions such as the specific case of Vibgyor High School.

Any person, being in-charge of any company or an institution (by whatever name called) fails to report the commission of an offence in respect of a subordinate under his control, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year and with fine.  — 21(2)

Bangalore police have arrested Rustum Kerawala under Section 21, in addition to other IPC codes.

POCSO section 19 and 20 refer to rules regarding intimating the police, and punishment for the offence of not intimating.

Any person whether a parent, doctor, school personnel, who has any knowledge, or even apprehension of the fact that a sexual offence has been committed must notify the Special Juvenile Police Unit or the local police.” — 19(1)

Any person, who fails to report an offence or who fails to record such an offence (in this case it is the police unit who are suppose to record the case) shall be punished with imprisonment which may extend to six months or with fine or with both. — 20(1)

The POSCO Act is a special law, which has not specified which offences are cognizable. Therefore to determine which of the POCSO Act offences are cognizable and non-bailable, reliance must be placed exclusively on Part II (Classification Of Offences Against Other Laws), First Schedule of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

Whenever the punishment is less than three years of imprisonment, the offence would be non-cognizable and bailable. Any higher term of imprisonment beginning from three years and above would make such offence cognizable and non-bailable. Hence all sections are cognizable, with the exception of section 21 and 22 which are non cognizable and bailable offences.

What do other charges mean?

Police have slapped addition charges on Kerawala as part of his arrest, Section 23 of the Juvenile Justice law  and Section 201 of the IPC.

The charge on the juvenile justice law has to do neglect or wilful abandonment of the child likely to cause mental or physical suffering. The charge on IPC 201 is grave and has to do with destruction of evidence.

Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code

201. Causing disappearance of evidence of offence, or giving false information to screen offender — Whoever, knowing or having reason to believe that an offence has been committed, causes any evidence of the commission of that offence to disappear, with the intention of screening the offend­er from legal punishment, or with that intention gives any infor­mation respecting the offence which he knows or believes to be false; if a capital offence.—shall, if the offence which he knows or believes to have been committed is punishable with death, be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine; if punishable with imprisonment for life.—and if the offence is punishable with 1[imprisonment for life], or with imprisonment which may extend to ten years, shall be punished with imprison­ment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, and shall also be liable to fine; if punishable with less than ten years’ imprisonment.—and if the offence is punishable with imprisonment for any term not extend­ing to ten years, shall be punished with imprisonment of the description provided for the offence, for a term which may extend to one-fourth part of the longest term of the imprisonment pro­vided for the offence, or with fine, or with both.

Example: Suppose A, knowing that B has raped the child, destroys the evidence of rape. If B is sentenced with life or death, A will get imprisonment upto seven years and a fine. If B is sentenced with imprisonment upto 10 years, A would get imprisonment upto three years and the fine. If A is sentenced for any period less than 10 years, B would get one-fourth of that sentence and fine.

Section 23 in The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000

23. Punishment for cruelty to juvenile or child.— Whoever, having the actual charge of, or control over, a juvenile or the child, assaults, abandons, exposes or wilfully neglects the juvenile or causes or procures him to be assaulted, abandoned, exposed or neglected in a manner likely to cause such juvenile or the child unnecessary mental or physical suffering shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months, or fine, or with both.

 

VIBGYOR School – Bangalore incident

Bindu29 Comments

Here is an update about the gruesome incident that took place in Vibgyor school Bangalore. A 6 year old child was raped by 2 teachers and the school authorities are not taking responsibility for kids. Here is the updates I got from a parent.

Update on vibgyor incident:Those who
cannot make it today…Here is update

      1. The incident took place on 2nd July and child of 1st grade was sexually assaulted by 2 school teachers.

      2. Two SPA coaches of school are involved in the incident i.e. Gymnastic Teacher and Western Dance Teacher

      3. The incident took place in main block of the school between 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM in some dark room

      4. School is trying to cover up the entire incident and not ready to take any responsibility. School is trying to prove that incident happened outside the school but police confirmed it happened in Main Block

      5. Possibility of more people being involved cannot be ruled out by police as the Aaya (maid) took the timeout and she only took the child to dark room and after that she only took the child to washroom for cleaning on the day of incident

      6. The SPA teachers assaulted child on the pretext of punishing her and threatened her of dire consequences after the incident

      7. Both the teachers are in police custody but not arrested yet8. The class teacher, Primary coordinator, SPA coordinator and other teachers are being questioned by the police. All SPA activities are suspended by the school sine die till the investigation is over.

      8. This is not the 1st incident but many parents highlighted & reported multiple cases of molestation and child abuse within Vibgyor premises in last few years….In-fact last week 1 girl student of 6th class was molested by swimming teacher in school. The gymnastic teacher who is arrested, there were multiple complaints in past against him for taking pics of girl child and molestation. If school would have taken action against Gymnastic teacher on time then this horrific incident could have been avoided.842_horamavu

      9. All parents were aghast and shocked by the attitude of school authorities…The principal was hiding behind and on top of it school authorities named the child in public domain which is a serious crime…Parents were concerned that any tom, dick and harry can be teacher in VIBGYOR HIGH and most of the teachers are working for pocket money…They are not trained teachers & just doing time pass…Send your kids at own risk till end of academic year….It was shocking to know experience of other parents and it is one of most dangerous schools in Bangalore with lot many untold stories of child molestation and abuse.
        Please pass on this message to all your friends through all what’s app groups… A protest march is organized against gang rape of 6 year child in Vibgyor High School, Marathalli, Bangalore on 19th July (Saturday) at 10 am. It will start from Vibgyor School, near kundalahalli gate, thubarahalli, Bangalore….this horrific incident is now covered by national media….please circulate on all What’sapp groups…it will be our small contribution to bigger cause and will help in making world a safer place for kids..

  1. Request all of you to spread this message. Let us join in the fight against such incidents. The school authorities and people involved have to be severely punished. It can happen only with our efforts.

Contests to give money or make money?

freshers

Freshersworld.com has come up with the ad participate and win 2 lakhs. It is calling it as Talent Search 2013, but you need to pay 599/- rupees to participate in that!!! Thus even with 333 people registering they will get 2 Lakh.

Also it claims that top 100 will get job. If it is having the genuine thought of employing the talented people, there is no need to collect money from them. It says it is collecting 599/- to make sure only interested candidates participate!

If you are talented you will definitely get a job without paying money to any Tom, Dick or Harry… so please do not fall into these traps.

I had great respect for freshers world for the hard work they had put to bring all updates about job openings in their website, they should not have got into this means to make money.

YSR is Dead, Long Live YSR

BinduLeave a comment

YSR might be a well known person to the whole of Andhra Pradesh, but nation is knowing his worth only now. This is what happens always, we will be having living legends around us, and would know of him or her, only after losing them.

Now all the news and media talk about his initiatives to help the poor. How he was termed people’s man. why don’t they do that when the person is alive. It will be moral booster, a true tribute, to the living soul. Often in India, Bharat Ratna and other honors are given after the death of a person, but all these appreciation and award should be given to people, when they are alive and energetic. That way they can do more, others are motivated to follow their footsteps.

On the birthdays of super stars we will have their success stories, all challenges they faced, their films, songs etc etc aired on all TV Channels, but this does not happen with other good politicians, Police officers, or IAS officers, and other Artists. why is it so?

when will have programs like this commissioner turned 50 and his achievements, when will be celebrate the birthdays of great teachers, Social workers, Business men etc?

And its really good the way cable operators removed all other channels except news channels in showing respect to the departed soul.

If they do not air any advertisements during these news events, then it will be a humane way to react to the demise of people’s minister.

ಅಂತೂ ಇಂತೂ ಪ್ರಶಸ್ತಿ ಬಂತು. ನಮ್ಮ ಶುನಕಕ್ಕೆ. ಆದರೆ ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಲಸ ,ಮಾಡಿದ ಶುನಕಗಳಿಗೆ ಅದರಿಂದ ಬರುವ ಲಾಭ ಏನೋ? ನಾಯಿಗಳಂತೆ ದುಡಿದ್ದಿದ್ದಷ್ಟೇ ಬಂತು ಎಂತಾಗಬಾರದು. ಅದು ಒಂದು ಕಥೆ ಕೇಳಿದ್ದೆ, ಅನೇಕ ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆ ಆಕಾಶವಾಣಿಯಲ್ಲಿ. ಒಬ್ಬ ನಿರ್ದೇಶಕ ಇರುತ್ತಾನೆ, ಬಹಳ ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಕಳಕಳಿ ಯಿರುವ ಚಿತ್ರಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆಯುತ್ತಿರುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಅವನ ಮನೆಗೆ ಮಧ್ಯರಾತ್ರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಹೆಣ್ಣು ಮಗಳು ಬಂದು, ಬಾಗಿಲು ತಟ್ಟುತ್ತಾಳೆ. ಕಾಪಾಡಿ, ಕಾಪಾಡಿ, ಎಂದು. ಅವನೂ ಕೇಳಿದರೂ ಕೇಳದಂತೆ ಸುಮ್ಮನಿದ್ದು ಬಿಡುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಅಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಅವನ ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಕಳಕಳಿಯಿರುವ ಚಿತ್ರ ಕೇವಲ ದುಡ್ಡು ಮಾಡುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಸೀಮಿತ. ನಮ್ಮ slumdog ನ ಕಥೆಯೂ ಹೀಗೆ ಆಗಬಾರದು.

ಹಾಲಿವುಡ್, ಬಾಲಿವುಡ್ ಸೇರಿ ಬಂದ ಜಯ, ಇತ್ಯಾದಿ, ಇತ್ಯಾದಿ. ಅವರಿಗೂ ಇದು ನಮ್ಮಿಬ್ಬರ ಶ್ರಮದ ಫಲ ಎಂಬ ಭಾವನೆ ಇರುತ್ತದೆಯೇ?

ಏನೋ ನಾನಿನ್ನೂ ಚಿತ್ರ ನೋಡಿಲ್ಲ, ಅವರ ಹೇಳಿಕೆಗಳನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿಲ್ಲ. ನಿಮಗೇನಾದರೂ ತಿಳಿದಿದ್ದರೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿ.
