Girl, 15, Raped, Shot, Thrown Down Well, Helps Catch Who Did It

By

A 15-year-old Indian girl who was kidnapped, gang-raped, shot and then dumped in a well and left for dead has not only survived, but is now helping to catch her attackers.

Indian police say the girl was taken by a man who had groomed her at a shop run by her uncle on November 22. She was then kept prisoner for a week in an abandoned farmhouse in Greater Noida – a town in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

The girl told the police she was repeatedly raped by three attackers — two of them minors — every time they brought her food until, on Saturday, the gang told her she was being released and taken home to West Delhi. However, the brutal gang then shot her in the chest and stomach with with a .12-bore pistol from close range and threw her naked down a well – leaving her for dead.


Unbelievably the girl survived the torturous ordeal and was found by a passer-by the next day when he heard her faint cries for help.

Her rescuer, Babbal Bhati, told the Times of India:

She was covered in blood and crying when we pulled her out with a rope. Doctors at the hospital couldn’t believe she had survived two bullet wounds overnight.

Having begun to recover physically from the inhuman attack, the victim has been able to identify the ringleader of the gang – named only as Krishan in local media – and his two accomplices and all three have now been arrested and face charges of rape, false imprisonment and attempted murder charges.


Greater Noida police commander Laxmi Chauhan said:

Krishan and two minors raped her every time they brought food for her. On Saturday, they promised to take her home but stopped near a well for a drink. It was here that the girl tried to escape but failed. Krishan caught the victim, thrashed her and shot her twice, but luckily the bullets didn’t damage her vital organs.

Never-Before-Seen Photos Emerge From Inside White House During 9/11

By
Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, never-before-seen photos from inside the White House during the 9/11 attacks have been released. The photos, reportedly captured by a staff photographer, document the reactions of then President, George Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney as they watch the horrific incident unfold on live television on September 11, 2001. The majority of the photos were taken in the secure basement of the White House, where Secret Service agents frog-marched top government officials following reports that more attacks were a possibility. In the photos, President Bush looks tense as he converses with top officials in the President’s Emergency Operations Center (PEOC), a highly-secure bunker situated below the East Wing, which can withstand nuclear hits and ‘other devastating attacks’. Other senior government officials also feature in the photographs, including National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, CIA Director George Tenet, Dick Cheney’s law...

On January 30, 1948, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who led the Indian nationalist movement and became known around the world for his philosophy of nonviolent resistance, was assassinated at age 78. He was gunned down in New Delhi by a Hindu extremist five months after India gained its independence from British rule. Check out some interesting facts about the man referred to as Mahatma (“great soul”) and the father of his country. 1. Gandhi was a teenage newlywed. At 13, Gandhi, whose father was the “diwan,” or chief minister, of a series of small princely states in western India, wed Kasturba Makanji (1869-1944), then also a teen and the daughter of a merchant. It was an arranged marriage, and Gandhi had been engaged to Kasturba since he was seven. The couple went on to have four sons. Even when Gandhi took a vow of celibacy in 1906 for reasons of spirituality, self-discipline and commitment to public service, his wife remained married to him until her death at age 74. She died a...
