TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: A teacher with Mirambika School in south Delhi, who stood witness in a sexu- al abuse case of a four- year-old boy, has been asked by the authorities to stop teaching in the school. Poorva, a Hindi teacher with the school, had witnessed the boy identifying a trainee teacher as the abuser. She had reportedly giv- en a statement to the po- lice narrating how the boy had identified the accused, Manish Kumar. The case came to light in October last year when the parents of the child filed a first infor- mation report saying their son, who was then a student of the school, had been sexually abused by Kumar. The school did not suspend or sack the teacher say- ing they would wait for the police investigations to conclude. The ac- cused is under arrest and is facing trial. Confirming that Poor- va had been asked to stop teaching in the school, Aurobindo Ashram Management Board member Indu said: ‘‘She was neither appointed nor sacked. She was a volunteer who had been coming for the last four months. We asked her not to come because we didn’t want to interfere with the ju- dicial proceedings.’’ Snehi, a crisis inter- vention centre, alleged that there may have been more cases of sex- ual abuse in the school. Snehi has submitted its report to the Delhi Po- lice. On Snehi’s allega- tion, Indu said, ‘‘This is a tale spun by people with vested interests.’’

Tension in Meerut over youth’s death in custody TIMES NEWS NETWORK Meerut: The state govern- ment’s failure to arrest the three policemen who alleged- ly tortured an youth to death, has sparked off a protest. The 25-year-old was in the custody at the Budhana po- lice station in Muzaffar- nagar district. He died on December 10. Criminal cases against the inspector-in-charge (Bud- hana), sub-inspector and a constable, were registered in Budhana police station on December 14, following in- structions by UP chief minis- ter Mayawati. But all three have been ab- sconding since the arrest warrents were issued. The SSP (Muzaffarnagar) and additional SP had been suspended. The DM (Muzaffarnagar) had been transferred. The victim, Anil Baliyan, of the nearby Budhana vil- lage, was allegedly tortured to death in police custody, af- ter being held hostage for several hours. He had gone to the police station to secure the release of his motorcycle. Police said the bike was seized as Baliyan he did not have a license and other related papers. Senior officers came to know of Anil’s death four days after the incident, when the personnel of the police station confirmed that Anil had died due to torture in custody. They also admitted that his body had been disposed off. Plan focus on governance, private initiative TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Planning Com- mission deputy chairman K C Pant says non-government initiatives are a key part of the new five-year Plan’s strategy. Speaking at the inaugura- tion of a national conference on innovation, Pant said the Plan’s emphasis was on changing the traditional sys- tems of governance and re- moving controls retarding private initiative. Remove trade barriers, make the atmosphere friend- ly for investors and change the working of administra- tive, legal and revenue sys- tems. If you do, you’ll have a dynamic economy,one ensur- ing rapid development, he ex- horted. Pant said this even as he’s trying to get a commit- ment for a step-up in funding for the Plan, which officially began in April 2002, but was formally approved only last month. The commission would like at least Rs 160 bil- lion more for this year than what the government said it would give at the beginning of last year. The finance ministry is having problems committing itself to even what it prom- ised last year. The discus- sions have been on for some months and the problem will finally have to be resolved at a higher level.
