They were presented at a nationally televised press conference in

channels.
The young women stated that their families were devout followers of this Mann
Pehowa and instead he had used his position of trust to sexually abuse them.
One revealed that the perverted saadh called her into his private room and asked
her to massage his hair and scalp. He later took advantage of her and threatened to
eliminate her and her if she told anyone about the incident.
Mann Pehowa stated that if the rape allegations can be proven, he would never
set foot outside of his deras.

have also come forward and at least 16 petitions containing allegations of rape
against the saadh which were filed in the state of Haryana.

Majha Ex-Servicemen Front demanded the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak
Committee (SGPC) and Sri Akal Takht Sahib to take strict action against the
controversial pseudo-baba Pehowa.

meetings, but the rape allegation on him is still under probe. Hence, justice is still

28. HANNAH FOSTER – RAPE &
MURDER
DATE - 14/03/2003
VICTIM - Hannah Foster, 17, Student, FEMALE
CRIME LOCATION - Southampton, UK
ACCUSED - Maninder Pal Singh Kohli, 41
REASON - No answer could be recovered from the accused
29. CASE DETAILS :-
A 17 yr old girl was abducted, raped and later brutally murdered by a 41 yr old
man in the outskirts of Southampton. Later the body was dumped.
Hannah accompanied by her friend Helen Wilkinson and some others went to a
pub for a drink. While returning home, alone, Maninder, heavily drunk, saw her.
He went to his car, took a U-turn, abducted her, took her to a deserted place and
raped her.
After raping her he felt guilty so he told her that he was not that type of a man. He
also told her that he even had a wife and two children.
But she threatened him to turn him in and tell her parents. Scared, that being an
Asian he will never be forgiven for such a crime in England, he held her head from
the back and strangled her.
Next day her parents reported the case to the police who found her body on 16th .
A post-mortem examination revealed she had been raped and strangled.
On 17th Hannah's mobile phone and green satchel-type handbag were recovered.
Meanwhile, two days after Hannah's body was found, Maninder Pal Singh Kohli
fled the country by begging money from his father-in-law to visit his dying mother.
He landed in New Delhi from where his younger brother Ishtpreet, an Indian police
constable, drove him to the family home in Mohali. He stayed there for 10 days.
30. But a long distance call from Shalinder's [his wife] parents in Southampton
changed that, he was told that he was a prime suspect in Hannah’s murder case.
On March 28, he slipped out of his father's house and moved to Bangalore for
seven months, but sightings were also reported to north India and other parts of
the country also.
Keeping a low profile - shaving off his beard and long hair – Kohli disguised
himself as Dr. Mike Dennis, a Red Cross worker who specialized in administering
hepatitis vaccinations in at a camp near Kalimpong in Darjeeling in February 2004.
The camp was run by a man called Oath Das and Kohli soon focused his
attentions on his employer's daughter, Bharati, a music teacher.
After a whirlwind romance of just four months, the couple got married - Kohli
illegally for a second time - much to the surprise of her family and without the
knowledge of his.
But after spotting his photographs across the news
papers, he accompanied his wife and tried to cross
the border into Nepal through Siliguri, but on July 14,
2004, 17 months to the day after Hannah was
abducted, Kohli was arrested at a bus stop.
31. ACTIONS TAKEN :-
Meanwhile a warrant for Kohli's arrest was issued by Southampton magistrates on the
grounds of murder, kidnap, false imprisonment, rape, manslaughter and perverting the
course of justice.
Over the months the reward of Rs. 50,00,000 equivalent of about £70,000 for his
capture has ballooned.
UK Govt. was unable to take any straight action as it had no jurisdiction in India and
had to rely on the co-operation of the local police there.
After Kohli was arrested he was sent back to UK where after a trial of 9 months he
was SENTENCED TO LIFE (24 yrs).
32. DATE - 15/11/2002
VICTIM - Name Unrevealed, 4th Yr. Medical
Student, Female
CRIME LOCATION - “Khooni Darwaza”
Monument, Bahadurshah Zafar Marg
ACCUSED – Rahul [the main accused], Amit and Ashok [his
two accomplices]
MAULANA AZAD MEDICAL
COLLEGE GIRL RAPE CASE
33. CASE DETAILS :-
Fourth yr student of Maulana Azad Medical College was raped and burgled at
knife point in the broad daylight of 15th November in the “Khooni Darwaza”
premises.
The monument is situated opposite the main gate of the college.
Astonishingly, the crime spot is merely 500 meters from the police station and
several newspaper offices on Bahadurshah Zafar Marg are hardly distant.
The police were clueless for almost four days about the identity of the rapists --
despite getting the name of one suspect from the victim.
On November 21st police arrested four persons, including two juveniles, belonging
to a nearby slum cluster.
Rahul, who was the main suspect, was produced before Metropolitan Magistrate
Bharat Parashar at Tis Hazari courts who remanded him in police custody for a day as
he could not produce any documentary proof for being a minor.
The court also remanded another accused, Amit, to judicial custody till December
7th. The two other accused were produced before a juvenile court.
The police recovered a mobile phone in possession of the suspects which was
robbed from the victim.
34. The incident led to an uproar in Parliament with Advani saying
death penalty for such crimes should be seriously considered,
provided there was a consensus.
Students also took a stand and boycotted their examinations
to register their protest against the tardiness of the Delhi police
and the apathy of the college authorities towards tighter security measures.
The court directed that Rahul should be medically examined before and after he
was remanded to police custody at the Lady Hardinge Hospital.
DNA test proved that the semen sample recovered from the victim's sanitary pad
matched that of prime accused, Rahul.
ACTIONS TAKEN :-
Finally on 17th Jan 2005, two years after the alleged crime, the suspects were
both sentenced to life being minors as a deterrent for future offenders.
But after 4 yrs of their conviction, Justice Juvenile Act grounded under which “a
juvenile convict can be kept in the home for a maximum period of three years”.
Resultantly on September 3, 2005 the Juvenile Justice Board convicted the
minors till they attain the age of 18.
