Suspect confesses crime, say police
Press Trust of IndiaNew Delhi, May 13, 2005After an intense search spanning three states over five days, Delhi Police on Friday managed to arrest one of the four men who had allegedly abducted and gangraped a Delhi University student in a moving car in the early hours of Sunday.
Ajit Kumar Katiyar (28), a driver with a private company whose features had been described by the 22-year-old victim, was picked up this morning from a colony near the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border.

Why our capital's lifestyle is such a mess? With its people turning into animals! There is a serious problem with Delhi's DNA. Maybe it is the excessive politics that permeates its environ. Maybe its entire police force is too busy protecting the VIPs to tackle crime. I don't know the cause. But it's citizens ought to get rid of the sickos and weirdos from their midst. Maybe their collective consciousness accepts amoral, anti-social, corrupt and criminal behaviour! "Man se ravan jo nikale; Ram uske man mein hai"
