Pregnant minor girl raped by relative dies
Thane: A 15-year-old tribal girl, who became pregnant after allegedly being raped by a relative, died on way to hospital in Vikramgadh area of the district, police said on Friday.
The girl, a resident of Naval Pada hamlet in Vikramgadh town, complained of severe pain in abdomen on Wednesday night following which her family admitted her to a local public health care centre, Vikramgadh assistant police inspector R.B. Mhamunkar said.
It was only after the girl experienced pain and confided in her grandmother about her condition that the family came to know that she had been raped by the relative. As her condition deteriorated, the girl was rushed to Wada rural hospital, but she died on way near Pali village in the wee hours on Thursday.
According to a complaint lodged by the victim's father late last night, his nephew - Santosh S Dapchi (26) - repeatedly raped his daughter at their home when she was alone after he used to go for work to Uttan in Bhayander.
Based on the complaint, Vikramgadh police have registered an offence under section 376 (rape) of the IPC and relevant sections of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012. No arrest has been made so far in this connection, police said, adding that they are likely to apprehend the accused today. The body has been sent for postmortem and further investigation was on.

Exactly a year ago, a 23-year-old physiotherapy student was gang raped on a moving bus in Delhi. That led to a national outrage with people questioning inefficiency of the government to provide security to women. There was such anger with protests across the nation that anyone would have thought it would be the last rape in the nation. That wasn't to be. 
Safety of women in the national capital was questioned, and in fact that was one of the reasons why chief minister Sheila Dikshit and the Congress suffered a humiliated defeat at the hands of political newcomer Arvind Kejriwal and his party Aam Aadmi Party. Political implications apart, the December 16 gang rape made headlines in international media, exposing how insecure women are in India. Despite the magnanimity of the most brutal rape of the country, very little has changed in one year.The conviction rate for rape is a mere 27 per cent which is why rapists aren't scared.The four accused in the December 16 rape case, gym instructor Vinay Sharma (20), bus cleaner Akshay Thakur (28), fruit-seller Pawan Gupta (19) and Mukesh Singh (26) were awarded death penalty as the court felt it was a rarest of rare cases. Main accused Ram Singh was found dead in jail while another is a minor.Notwithstanding pressure, the Central government in April amended the Anti-rape bill, which now provides life-term or death sentence for rape convicts. According to the new law, an offender can be sentenced to rigorous imprisonment that is not less than 20 years. The law also fixed age for consensual sex at 18 years. One thing that has changed is, none will take things lying down. But it doesn't mean that the incidents have gone down. Shockingly, a rape is reported every 20 minutes in India. A young girl's sexual harassment complaint resulted in the arrest of Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal. The girl was bold enough to report against her boss, putting her career at stake. Neither death sentence nor new law has acted as a deterrent. The number of rape cases in Delhi have almost doubled. Till November this year, 1,450 cases of rape cases were registered against 706 in 2012. There is an element of positivity about it, as police say that more women are coming forward to report rapes. But as Indian women are known for, not all aren't comfortable reporting about rape.The only mistake of a 23-year-old software engineer, who was kidnapped and raped in a cab Hyderabad, was that she trusted the cab drivers to take her to her hostel. But she ended up being raped.Unlike the Tehelka journalist, this girl was scared to report it, she filed a false complaint that there was an attempt to rape her. But the incident came to light when the police arrested the cab drivers, who admitted to raping her.Rapes are tarnishing the image of the country as a whole. Internationally, India is perceived as the rape capital with governments of foreign countries warning women against travel to India.A photojournalist was gang raped when on duty in Mumbai. That wasn't the first time for the accused, who thought when others didn't complain why would she? Experts debate if raping is a psychological problem? Most of the rapists won't have any remorse or guilt feeling. In many cases, they deny the crime or feel what they did wasn't wrong.There is a need for a systemic social change and the solution doesn't lie in the law, but in changing the mindset of people.

1/27Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Admi Party (AAP) is certainly a party with a difference, not just for its ideology. Its candidates are political novices--- a former IAS officer, businessmen, an ex-NSG commando, bank officials, teachers and journalists, who quit their jobs to bring in a change. Here are those who won against veteran politicians in Assembly polls. 
2/27Tech graduate to founder of AAP, the political journey of AAP founder Arvind Kejriwal, a graduate of the IIT, Kharagpur, began few years ago. But he proved the might of the common man this polls by winning huge votes against three-time CM Sheila Dikshit, thereby ushering a revolutionary change in Indian politics.
