शादी कर धोखा देने वाले अन आर आई को काबू में करने की तय्यारी : मेनका

चंडीगढ। केन्द्रीय महिला एवं बाल कल्याण मंत्री श्रीमती मेनका संजय गांधी ने शुक्रवार को यहां कहा कि शादी करके धोखा दे जाने वाले एनआरआई पर काबू करने के लिए योजना तैयार कर ली गई है। साथ ही बलात्कार के मामलों में तेजी से न्याय दिलाने के लिए फोरेंसिक लैब बढाई जा रही है। देश में पांच नई फोरेंसिक लैब आने वाली है।

श्रीमती मेनका ने यहां पत्रकारों से बातचीत में कहा कि केन्द्रीय गृह मंत्रालय,विदेश मंत्रालय और महिला और बाल विकास मंत्रालय ने मिलकर शादी करके विदेश भाग जाने वाले एनआरआई को काबू में करने के लिए योजना बनाई है। योजना के तहत किसी एनआरआई के साथ शादी सम्पन्न होने पर 48 घंटे में उसका रजिस्ट्रेशन कराया जाएगा और इसके बाद महिला एवं बाल विकास विभाग को इसकी सूचना दी जाएगी ताकि डाटा बेस तैयार होता रहे। तीनों विभागों के संयुक्त सचिवों की कमेटी इस योजना को अमल में लायेगी। योजना के तहत शादी के बाद विदेश जाने वाला पति यदि पत्नी के बुलावे पर नही लौटता है तो पत्नी की शिकायत पर विदेश मंत्रालय के जरिए डीम्ड सम्मन जारी किए जायेंगे और सम्पत्ति बंधक कर ली जायेगी। पति के लौटने पर ही सम्पत्ति को छोडा जाएगा।

उन्होंने कहा कि महिला और बच्चों की तस्करी रोकने के लिए नया कानून प्रस्तावित है जो कि संसद के अगले सत्र में पारित किए जाने के आसार है। उन्होंने कहा कि अभी बलात्कार के मामलों में न्याय में देरी के लिए अदालतों पर आरोप लगाए जाते है। लेकिन बलात्कार के मामलों में फोरेंसिक जांच बहुत धामी गति से होती है। इसका कारण है कि फोरेंसिक लैब की क्षमता कम है। इसलिए जल्दी ही देश में पांच नई फोरेंसिक लैब खोली जा रही है। उन्होंने कहा कि पुलिस जांच में शामिल करने के लिए महिला और बाल विकास विभाग जल्दी ही बलात्कार किट जारी करेगा जिसमें यह तय किया जाएगा कि बलात्कार की घटना पर पुलिस जांच अधिकारी को कौन-कौन से सबूत जुटाने है।

Pakistani man held for illegal stay and blackmailing Indian wife in Hyd.

 

The Cyber Crime Police in Hyderabad on Friday said that they arrested a Pakistani National, for illegally entering the country and marrying an Indian woman fraudulently by lying about his citizenship.

The police also said that the accused blackmailed his wife and her daughter, and also ‘sold’ obscene pictures of the duo, which were later uploaded on the internet.

The incident came to light after the wife approached the police and filed a complaint.

The accused has been identified as 41-year-old Mohd Usman Ikram alias Mohd Abbas Ikram, who was staying at Chanderghat.

The complainant told the police that while she was working in Dubai, she married one Ikram, who deceived her stating that he was an Indian Muslim from Delhi. However, she later discovered that he is a Pakistani National.

“After she came back to India, the accused too came to India saying that he was on a visit visa for six months. Later, the complainant came to know that he came to India illegally via Nepal,” the police said in a press release.

The woman, who was previously married and had two children, alleged that Ikram had secretly shot obscene photographs and videos of her daughter when she was hardly 12 years old and sold the clipping to some person, which went viral.

“The accused also sent a message on WhatsApp to a friend of his wife, stating that he will expose the daughter’s nude photos publicly and tried to blackmail her. The accused used to torture the complainant for money and whenever she refused, he beat her severely,” the police said.

Based on the complaint, a case was registered and the police began their investigation.

According to a preliminary inquiry, the cyber crime police found that Ikram hailed from Punjab state in Pakistan and had entered Nepal from Pakistan by air, from where he illegally crossed the border by road and arrived at Delhi and then at Hyderabad.

“After arriving in India, he had created fake residential documents and education degrees through various agents and had been doing sundry jobs in private firms. His antecedents and activities are further being verified,” the police said.
