Naga girl's murder: IIT scholar is a pervert, say police
NEW DELHI: A 34-year-old PhD scholar of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, who was arrested for the murder of a Nagaland teenager,is of "pervert and maniacal" nature and suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder, Delhi Police said on Monday."Pushpum Sinha is suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder. And some articles showing his pervert nature and maniacal obsession have been recovered from his rented room," deputy commissioner of police (south) HGS Dhaliwal told reporters here.
Sinha, who is unmarried, was arrested late on Monday after four hours of intense questioning by police. According to the police he has confessed to strangulating his 19-year-old neighbour, Ramchanphy Hongray, in her Munirka home in south Delhi. He then burnt the girl's face to mislead the police into thinking she got killed in an accidental fire.
The police have ruled out rape.
Recounting the events, the police said that on Saturday around 4.30pm., Sinha found that the girl was alone in the house. He entered the kitchen where she was and made advances towards her. When she protested, he got scared and strangled her to death.
"He feared that the girl would report about him to others and he would face police action. He then torched her face. But because of the fire, her torso also suffered 30 percent burn injuries," Dhaliwal said.
Earlier, the police thought it was a case of accidental fire. However, the post-mortem examination revealed that she did not die of burns but had been strangulated.
Dhaliwal said the girl's sister Timila, who works in a Delhi restaurant, had during the investigations raised suspicions about her next door neighbour Sinha.
"Timila said he was trying to befriend her sister but there was never any occasion when she had made any complaint about him. On Diwali they had burnt fire crackers together, so he mistakenly thought that she was attracted to him," Dhaliwal said.
He said that Sinha, a B. Tech from Allahabad University and M.Sc (Engg.) from IISc Bangalore, was suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder - a mental disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce anxiety and repetitive behaviour aimed at reducing anxiety, or by a combination of such obsessions and behaviour compulsions.
"His dairy, laptop and writing on the walls suggest that he was a pervert and suffers from maniacal obsession," he added.
A police officer said that in his dairy Sinha has scribbled that everyone should have a girlfriend and whenever he had tried, he had failed. He also wrote that he was unable to get married yet.
His parents are retired. His father was deputy director from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and mother a doctor in a government hospital in Bihar.

Helicopter crashes: 14 US soldiers and civilians die in Afghanistan
In the first incident, a helicopter went down in Badghis province in the west of the country after raiding a compound harbouring an opium-trafficking gang linked to the insurgency.
The US military said the helicopter, believed to be a Chinook, crashed after leaving the compound, where a firefight had left more than a dozen insurgents dead.
Seven US soldiers and three Drug Enforcement Agency officers were killed, while 11 American soldiers, one US civilian and 14 Afghans were injured.
A Taliban spokesman claimed it had shot down the helicopter, but the Nato-led coalition said the crash was “not believed to be from enemy action”.
A military spokesman described Badghis province as “where we see the nexus between the insurgency and the narcotics trade”. It has has seen repeated raids by helicopter-borne US special forces.
The province has threatened to slip from government control with a sharp increase in Taliban activity funded by opium growing in the province.
Meanwhile a US marine UH1 helicopter and an AH1 Cobra collided in the southern province of Helmand, leaving four more US troops dead and wounding two others. Hostile fire was ruled out in the crash.
Both crashes were under investigation, but inquiries were being hampered by “combat conditions”.
Helicopters are vital to coalition operations in Afghanistan where there are few roads and the terrain is mountainous and impassable for ground vehicles.
The highest US death toll in one day since a helicopter crash in June 2005 came as President Barack Obama prepared to meet his security advisers to grapple again with a new strategy for the troubled eight-year-long conflict.
The Obama administration is debating whether to send 40,000 reinforcements to the country after General Stanley McChrystal, the US commander in Iraq, said the coalition risked failure without more resources.
Mr Obama has been accused of “dithering” over the request, just as opinion polls show the majority of Americans oppose the war.
His deliberations have been complicated by the fraud-riddled Afghan presidential elections which were supposed to choose a strong, legitimate leader in Kabul, but have instead become mired in allegations of ballot-stuffing.
A total of 46 US troops have died in Afghanistan in October in what is already by far the bloodiest year in the country since the 2001 US-led invasion.
In June 2005, 16 American special forces members were killed in the eastern province of Kunar when their Chinook helicopter was shot down by the Taliban.

Mumbai commuters have a harrowing Monday
Mumbai: Lakhs of commuters had a harrowing experience on Monday morning when the motormen of Central Railway (CR) suddenly decided not to work over and above their scheduled duty hours. This resulted in delay of trains by over an hour-and-a-half.
The motormen continued to work less, thereby disrupting the train schedule causing a bother to the common man.
Members of the recognised union claimed that they had not called for the strike and that some of the motormen in a fit of rage decided not to work beyond their scheduled hours of work.
This flash strike was to protest the delay in rescuing their colleague R Ramchandran, motorman of the Kalyan-bound slow local which rammed into the girder of the under-construction road-over-bridge which fell when his train was passing near Kopri in Thane.
Not only this but long hours of work was also one of their demands which they tried to press by highlighting the vacancies (over 150) be filled in by CR at the earliest.
The suburban rail traffic was thrown out of gear in the morning, the impact of which was felt till late in the evening on Monday. Commuters were caught unawares and were left stranded at various points on CR network leaving them no option but to walk to their destinations on the tracks.
Members of the recognised National Railway Mazdoor Union (NRMU) met CR general manager BB Modgil and presented a memorandum of their demands primarily asking to investigate into the death of their colleague Ramchandran along with the inquiry of the accident by the commissioner of railway safety.
Among their other demands was immediate action for the overhead bridges which have been declared dilapidated by various consultants. "There should be stress management sessions for the motormen and safety door must be provided to the motormen cabin as well in case of such an emergency," said a member of NRMU.
Modgil has assured to look into all these issues and the motormen have decided to resume their services as normal.
The incident had a major impact on the train services on the harbour line as the trains were lined up one behind the other.
The administration, however, attributed the delay of train services to a bomb hoax incident which happened at Dombivali at 7.45am.
"We had to immediately stop all the train operations thereby leading to a lot of bunching and rescheduling of the suburban trains. This had a cascading effect throughout the day as the delay was for over 45 minutes," said SC Mudgerikar, chief PRO of CR.
