Noida (UP), Oct 12 (PTI) A Noida Traffic policeman went out of his way to help a woman and her daughter, stranded on a lonely road here at night, after their car's tyres got punctured.

Constable Deepak Kumar (30) got a mechanic to have the punctures in both the rear tyres fixed and even offered a spare kept in his vehicle. 

When it was found that only one of the punctured rear tyres could be repaired, and the spare wheel in the woman's car could not be used, he gave the spare from his vehicle.

Kumar, later, escorted the women till their locality in Greater Noida, ensuring their safety. 

In a letter to the Traffic Police, retired Army officer V P Sharma conveyed his gratitude to the policeman, thanking him for helping his daughter and granddaughter, who got stranded while returning to Greater Noida after visiting him at a hospital.

Colonel (retd) Sharma said he was hospitalised in Noida after a minor surgery when his daughter (46) and granddaughter (21) visited to see him on October 6.

They left for Greater Noida around 8 pm but after around 15 minutes they lost their way and landed up on a lonely road with many potholes, he said, adding that his granddaughter who was driving the car realised that the vehicle was "not going straight".

"She stopped the car, got down and noticed that both the rear wheels had punctures. They were scared and stood by the side of the vehicle. A number of people passed by but no one stopped," Sharma said in a letter to the Traffic Police.

Soon, Constable Kumar, who happened to be passing by from there stopped and offered assistance, saying he was from the Uttar Pradesh Traffic Police Department.

"After confirming that both the tyres were tubeless, Kumar went in his own transport and brought a man who could fix the punctures. They then realised that only one tyre could be repaired. They tried the spare tyre but that too happened to be unserviceable.

"He offered the spare wheel from his own vehicle and after ensuring that everything was okay, he guided them right up to their colony in Greater Noida," Sharma wrote.

Saying that he was "totally impressed" by Kumar's "dedication to duty", the Army veteran recommended special recognition and reward for the official who went "out of the way to help two stranded ladies on a lonely Noida road".


Noida (UP), Oct 9 (PTI) A family from Delhi Tuesday accused a private hospital here of negligence in treatment which resulted in the death of their three-year-old child, police said.

In a complaint at the Sector 20 police station, the family, residing in New Ashok Nagar, Delhi, said they had taken the child to the Apollo Hospitals in Sector 26, Noida, after he complained of stomach ache and fever on September 7.

Diwakar Prasad Singh, the maternal uncle of the child, told PTI that the hospital suggested that the child be kept under observation for two days.

"During this period, multiple tests including ultrasound were done but nothing critical was reported. But they were negligent in the use of the needle during treatment which led to the deterioration of his health," he said, and alleged that the child was left thirsty for a long time in the hospital.

Claiming negligence in administering injections to the boy, Singh said when the situation worsened, the doctors suggested that child be shifted to the Apollo Hospitals in Jasola, Delhi.

"The hospital in Sector 26 did not have ventilator facility so they suggested the move," Singh, a consultant in Information Technology sector, claimed.

He said for the next two days the doctors could not specify what was wrong with the child and then the family decided to shift him to Ram Manohar Lohiya (RML) Hospital in Delhi, where he passed away.

Apollo Hospitals, however, said the family decided to shift the patient to another facility against their advice.

"The child was admitted at our Noida facility and given the condition subsequently transferred to Delhi for management. The family decided to shift the patient to another facility against our medical advice. We condole the passing away of the child and express our emotional solidarity with the family," the hospital said in a statement to PTI.

The child's uncle said they had first approached the police in Delhi and were then told to make a complaint in Noida because the hospital where they first took the child is here.

The Noida police said the family reached them Tuesday with their complaint and the matter has been referred to the chief medical officer of the district hospital for probe.

"In such cases, the matter is first referred to the district hospital where a medical committee determines if the hospital is at fault," Inspector Manoj Kumar Pant, in charge of the Sector 20 police station, told PTI.

"We will also submit a report after a preliminary probe," he added.


Noida (UP), Oct 5: The Gautam Buddh Nagar administration held a meeting with the Sharda University management Friday to discuss the fight that broke out on its campus in Greater Noida between groups of Indian and Afghan students, officials said.

Over 350 students, including Indians and Afghans, were booked for rioting and related offences after the clash during which a student from Kashmir got roughed up.

Thursday's incident followed a scuffle on Monday, the purported video of which had surfaced on social media.

Three Afghan students were suspended over the Monday scuffle and the university had announced shutting classes till Sunday, while the mid-term was examinations deferred, according to officials.

District Magistrate Brajesh Narain Singh said the Sharda University management has been asked to bring the two confronting sides to the table and ensure dialogue between them in order to defuse the tension.

India and Afghanistan are friendly countries. The university officials have been asked to get the students from both sides to talk so that cordial relations can be restored among them.

"They have been told to tell the students to concentrate on their studies and focus on upcoming examinations, Singh told.

The administration has also asked the university to restrict entry of outsiders, particularly those making communal statements and inflammatory remarks , he said.

Referring to the purported videos being circulated on social media related to incident at the university, Singh said police would be asked to put a check on people indulging in making such comments.

Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal and former chief ministers Mehbooba Mufti and Omar Abdullah also expressed concern over the incident in western Uttar Pradesh's Greater Noida and sought action from the Centre and the state government.

The governor spoke to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Friday morning and urged him to ensure that Kashmiri students are provided a safe and secure environment in the educational institutions of the state, an official spokesperson said.

Mufti tweeted, Urge PMO India, (UP chief minister) Yogi Adityanath and (Union Home Minister) Rajnath Singh ji to take strict action against the culprits and ensure safety of students from J&K."

This requires a proper and impartial investigation. Let the facts be brought out and the guilty persons punished. I hope (Union Home minister) Rajnath Singh and (the) Home Ministry will direct the UP government and Noida Police to reassure the students while the investigation proceeds, Abdullah tweeted.

A police official Thursday told PTI that no official complaint was lodged about the clash in which one Indian student from Kashmir suffered injuries and was taken to a hospital.

Police force was deployed outside the university along with security personnel of the PAC. The university had also stepped up security on its premises and denied entry to outsiders, including the press.

The police have taken the cognisance of the case on its own. The Indian student has suffered minor injuries, more of punches and slaps, but was sent for medical examination so that it could be checked if there is any internal injury or not, the official had said.

We have booked 350-400 students, Indians and Afghans both, and we are probing the matter. Students are being identified on the basis of the footage that has surfaced and we will soon quiz them and initiate action, he added.

The official said the case was registered under Indian Penal Code sections 147 (punishment for rioting), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), 506 (criminal intimidation), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 352 (assault or criminal force otherwise than on grave provocation), and related offences.

The FIR was registered at the Knowledge Park police station.

Police have also charged the students under the Section 7 of The Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1932, which pertains to any act that impedes another person from doing what they can rightfully do, using intimidation, he said.
