A minor girl (17 years old) was allegedly held hostage and gang-raped in Gwalior, the police said on Wednesday.

Gwalior Additional Superintendent of Police, Rishikesh Meena, told ANI “A case has come up in the Bilowa police station area and an FIR has been registered in it. This involves two girls from the same family and both are neighbours. The victim’s friend took her away around October 31st and left her with the accused boy. The boy called other boys and raped her at night. It has been mentioned in the FIR that she was kept hostage overnight.”

This case falls under the category of gang rape. An FIR has been registered at the Bilowa police station and the rest of the facts are being investigated and legal action will be taken, he said.

There are four accused in this; a team has been formed by the police and full efforts are being made to arrest them, he added.

Meanwhile, the victim’s friend is also being questioned, as it was she who had taken the victim to the accused and the truth of the whole case will only be found after questioning the criminals, he said.

Further investigation is underway.

A 23-year-old Karnataka woman – who had given birth less than two weeks ago – was allegedly murdered by her husband, a policeman, who suspected she was in a relationship with another man.

Three others have also been arrested in connection with the woman’s death.

Police have said the husband, D Kishore, first consumed a poisonous substance – in an apparent bid to die by suicide – before he strangled his wife, Pratibha S. According to media reports, Pratibha was living at her parents’ home in Hoskote Taluk, and gave birth to her baby – a boy – on October 28.

Kishore was living in the town of Chamarajanagar, which is around 230 km away.

The young woman’s distraught father has branded his son-in-law a “psycho”.

“We married our daughter to him… thinking he is a good man, but he turned out to be a criminal. We want justice. He needs to be punished. I do not want another girl to go through what my daughter did.”

Pratibha, who had a degree in Computer Science, and 32-year-old Kishore, who is from Veerapura in Kolar district, were wed in November last year. Her father has also alleged dowry demands.

According to the police, Kishore and Pratibha had an acrimonious telephone exchange on Sunday evening – one that left the new mother in tears. Her mother told her to disconnect the call and suggested she not speak to Kishore for a while, for fear of upsetting the new-born child.

On Monday, when Pratibha checked her phone, she found 150 missed calls.

Later in the day Kishore reportedly landed up at his in-laws’ home and cornered his wife inside a locked room, where he killed her. Pratibha’s mother was on the roof at the time, police said.

According to The Times of India, Kishore confessed to his mother-in-law before escaping. “Kondu bitte avalna, kondu bitte (I killed her, I killed her),” he reportedly said.

Rockstar Games confirmed in 2022 that Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is actively in development. However, the game’s journey wasn’t without a hitch, as Rockstar faced a major leak that exposed more details than they had intended to reveal at that point. In response, the company not only acknowledged GTA 6’s development but also confirmed several other aspects that had been long-rumored.

GTA 6 Platforms: 

The latest leaks strongly suggest that GTA 6 will be exclusive to new-gen hardware, indicating a release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, while the prospect of a release on PS4 or Xbox One seems improbable given the anticipated release timeline. 

GTA 6: Lucia

GTA 6 will also include the franchise’s first-ever playable female character named Lucia. Lucia is a Hispanic woman of Latin American origin, about 5’3″ tall, in her late 20s or early 30s, and is in a relationship with Jason. Lucia has an interesting backstory; she has a history of being in jail and fled to Vice City before the events of the game. Additionally, it appears she’s a skilled hacker, adding an exciting dimension to her character.

GTA 6 Release Date:

The release date of GTA 6 remains uncertain, and it seems that fans might have to wait for a few more years before getting their hands on the highly anticipated game. According to insights from a GTA insider named ‘Tez2,’ the current focus appears to be on a potential release in 2024. To meet this timeline, there’s speculation that developers might consider making the difficult decision of trimming certain aspects of the game to ensure it hits the targeted release window. This suggests that the development process might involve some tough choices to bring GTA 6 to players in the coming years.

GTA 6 Map:

According to Bloomberg, the eagerly awaited GTA 6 is expected to have a primary setting in a fictional take on Miami and its nearby regions, highly resembling Vice City within the GTA universe. What sets this installment apart is its plan for evolution and growth over time. This means the game will continuously introduce new cities and regions as it progresses, possibly offering additional story content, expanding the map, and introducing new visitable locations. These updates could be part of an ongoing expansion, potentially serving as a successor to the popular GTA Online. This dynamic approach is poised to keep players engaged and the virtual world ever-evolving.
