17-year-old boy rapes 7-month-old baby girl, father chops off his hands

April 23, 2016

New Delhi, Apr 23: A father chopped off the hands of a teenager who allegedly raped his baby daughter before dumping him alive near a canal in Punjab, the police said.

Parminder Singh approached the 17-year-old accused on Tuesday after he had appeared in a local court charged with raping the then seven-month-old girl in 2014.

Police said Mr Singh, 25, lured the teenager away from the court in Bathinda district by offering him an out-of-court settlement, before tying him to a tree and cutting off both of his hands.

"He (the father) took him near a dried up canal, beat him up badly and then tied him to a tree and finally hacked his hands off. There is nothing below the wrists now," Swapan Sharma, a senior police officer of Bathinda, told news agency by telephone.

"Locals alerted police and we rushed to the spot. We picked him up, his hands, and took him to the hospital," he said, adding that the accused was in a stable condition.

Mr Sharma said police are hunting for the father, a brick kiln labourer who fled after the attack, and have registered a case of attempted murder against him.

The mother of the girl allegedly found the accused molesting her in April 2014. Police registered a rape case and the teen was sent to a juvenile remedial home pending a trial.

That incident prompted the government to toughen penalities for rapists and overhaul policing to better protect women and children.

In November 2014, a father tortured and killed his daughter's alleged rapist before turning himself in to police.

December 15,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Air India Express has announced that it will resume direct flight services between Mangaluru and Muscat from March 2026, restoring an important international air link for passengers from the coastal region.

Airport authorities said the service will operate twice a week—on Sundays and Tuesdays—from March 1. The initial flights are scheduled on March 3, 8 and 10, followed by March 15 and 17, with the same operating pattern to continue thereafter. The flight duration is approximately three hours and 25 minutes.

The Mangaluru–Muscat route was earlier operated under the 2025 summer schedule, with services beginning on July 14. At that time, Air India Express had operated four flights a week before suspending the service.

Officials said the summer schedule will come into effect from March 29, after which changes in flight timings and departure schedules from Mangaluru are expected. Passengers have been advised to check the latest schedules while planning their travel.

The resumption of direct flights to Muscat is expected to significantly benefit expatriates, business travellers and others, further strengthening Mangaluru’s air connectivity with the Gulf region.
