The Mumbai Crime Branch has arrested a city-based senior executive of an MNC, for his alleged attempt to rape a Mumbai doctor.

The accused has been identified as Sameer Pareeja (40), assistant vice-president of a Pune-based MNC firm.

The Mumbai police arrested the accused from Bangalore. Police said that Pareeja posed as Raj, working on a World Bank project in Tokyo, and met the victim on an online matrimonial site, Jeevansathi.com.

Mumbai police said that while exchanging photographs, he allegedly forwarded her pictures of a male model instead of his own. The 35-year-old doctor, however, mailed him her original photographs.

Traces of poison

Three days after a senior executive of Infosys BPO was found murdered in his Ramaswamypalya house, police now believe that they have enough reasons to suspect the victim’s wife.

Forensic experts, who had conducted a post-mortem examination on Umesh Krishnan, aged 27, have reported that traces of poison were found in his body. This led the police to suspect Honey Mary, who had married Umesh four months ago. Police believe that Umesh might have consumed food laced with poison.

The city police investigating the BPO employee murder case on Tuesday said they have collected concrete clues, which will lead them to the accused persons.

Umesh Krishnan (27), a senior executive of Infosys Pvt Ltd, was smothered to death on Monday at his house in Ramaswamypalya in Banaswadi.

Assistant police commissioner N Narasimhaiah said, “We have clues that will lead us to the accused. We are working towards it and hope to solve the case soon’’.

Police are still maintaining that it is a murder for gain. Umesh was murdered by four unknown people in the presence of his wife Honey Mary, who was injured. Since she is away in Erode, where Umesh’s body was cremated, police have not been able to get more information from her.

Although the blue jerseys were more dominant, they couldn't find a way to score

A messy BEML side fell to a freak goal against CIL in the BDFA Super Division league at the Bangalore Football Stadium on Tuesday. The lucky goalscorer was Enian, who sent in a hopeful shot from the edge of the box in the 48th minute; goalkeeper Rajan was well positioned behind the ball, but let it slip.

BEML were much the better side, both on paper and on the field of play, but they just couldn't string things together. They began promisingly enough, with strikers Samuel Jackson and Jotin Singh combining well with the midfield. They used the flanks well, spread out the game, and their midfielders constantly sent in probing balls from the deep.
