Indian-origin man held guilty of rape in New Zealand

WELLINGTON: A court in New Zealand Friday held an Indian-origin man guilty of kidnapping two young women and raping them.

Pravin Fia Hari Prasad Kumar faced retrial in the Auckland High Court on charges of rape, kidnapping and sexual assault of two young women in 2008, Fairfax media reported.

The court was told that Kumar's first victim was a prostitute who initially agreed to have sex with him in exchange for money Sep 27, 2008.

The woman had asked Kumar to pay up first and wear condom but he didn't agree.He drove her to a remote location in Wiri, South Auckland, and raped her.

Crown prosecutor Alysha McClintock told the court that Kumar approached the second victim on the side of a road Oct 8, 2008, and offered her a lift home.

But Kumar took the woman to a liquor store, bought alcohol and then drove her to a remote location near Auckland airport and raped her in the back of the car.

He will be sentenced in December.While on bail for the 2008 rapes, Kumar did not attend his first trial.He also escaped electronic monitoring and the court convicted him in his absence.

A court of appeal later quashed the conviction and ordered a retrial.

Actor Sanjay Dutt seeks parole extension

Sunday, Oct 13, 2013

PUNE: Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, currently out of jail on parole for a fortnight, has sought an extension of parole on medical grounds, official sources said Sunday. His parole period ends Monday. The application is under consideration and a decision is likely to be taken shortly, the sources said.

Dutt, 53, was granted parole from the Yerawada Central Jail Oct 1 to get medical treatment for certain unspecified illnesses.
His parole period ends Monday and he has sought another fortnight's extension. The application is under consideration and a decision is likely to be taken shortly, the sources said.
A parole is a conditional release of a prisoner for a limited period for a specific purpose and is strictly governed under Indian jail laws.
"It does not imply commutation of the sentence or amnesty and is purely decided as per individual cases at the discretion of the concerned authorities," criminal lawyer J.P. Mishra told IANS.
Dutt is serving a 42-month sentence for his role in the March 1993 Mumbai serial bombings of March 1993.
He was convicted by a Special TADA Court for illegal possession of a pistol and an AK-47 rifle.
In March, the Supreme Court upheld his conviction under the Arms Act and reduced his sentence from six years, awarded by a lower court, to five years.
He has already served one-and-a-half years behind bars during trial. He returned to Mumbai's Arthur Road Central Jail May 16 to serve the remaining 42 months in prison.
Later, on security grounds, he was shifted to Yerawada Central Jail here.

If granted, he is likely to extend his stay at home by 14 days.
