  • Twisted Tale Of Love And Betrayal: Shoaib Sheikh Kills His Bank Manager Partner Amit Kaur |

    In yet another case of love relation gone wrong, a man murdered his partner in Mumbai. The duo met on social media three months ago. The incident took place in Turbhe of Navi Mumbai. The crime blurred the lines between love and vengeance, as a man named Shoaib Sheikh, 24, orchestrated the murder of his lover, a bank manager named Amit Kaur, 35, a divorcee and mother of a teen girl.

    The tale began a few months ago when Shoaib and Amit first crossed paths through social media. What seemed like a blossoming romance took a dark turn on the night of January 8th when Shoaib arrived in Turbhe to celebrate Kaur’s birthday.

    According to the information provided by the police, Shoaib, fueled by suspicions and emotions, strangled Amit Kaur to death in a lodge where they had planned to mark the occasion. After committing the heinous act, Shoaib fled the scene, leaving the staff to make a gruesome discovery when they opened the door to find the woman’s lifeless body.

    Upon conducting an investigation, the Sakinaka police in Mumbai apprehended Shoaib Sheikh. The young man, who worked in a garage, eventually confessed to the crime after being taken into custody.

    The police revealed that Shoaib harbored suspicions about his lover, which ultimately led him to carry out the murder. The victim, a respected bank manager, was completely unaware of the sinister intentions that had been festering within Shoaib.

    The tragic incident shed light on the consequences of a relationship tainted by distrust and betrayal. As the legal proceedings unfolded, the dark secrets behind this twisted tale of love and betrayal continued to unravel, leaving the community grappling with the shocking reality that had unfolded in their midst.

    MUMBAI: Mumbai Police have registered a case against a septuagenarian businessman for allegedly raping his 35-year-old niece multiple times since 2007 and threatening to get her killed using his “connections” with fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and other criminals, an official said on Thursday.

    In her complaint lodged at Amboli police station, the woman alleged that the 75-year-old accused, who is her uncle, first raped her in a hotel in 2007, he said.

    “The complainant said the accused sexually assaulted her multiple times at different locations in suburban Mumbai after that and threatened her not to reveal about it to anyone.

    He used to threaten that he would get the victim killed saying that underworld don Dawood Ibrahim was his friend, while Haji Mastan, another crime lord, was his relative,” the official said.

    “The complainant also claimed that the accused borrowed Rs two crore from her at one per cent interest rate, but has not returned the amount to her so far,” he added.

    Since the woman resides in Andheri area, she lodged the complaint with Amboli police station.

    A case under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 376 (2) (n) (repeated rape), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), police said.

    The case has been handed over to the MIDC police station in Andheri for further probe.

  • Hanuman Chalisa row: Mumbai police files plea seeking cancellation of Rana couple’s bail 

    By PTI

    MUMBAI: The Mumbai police on Monday filed an application in a special court here seeking cancellation of the bail granted to independent MP Navneet Rana and her MLA-husband Ravi Rana, accused in a sedition case following a row over the recitation of Hanuman Chalisa.

    The police sought that the couple’s bail be cancelled on the ground that they had allegedly violated one of the conditions imposed by the special court while granting them bail last week.

    Navneet Rana, the Lok Sabha member from Amravati in Maharashtra, and her husband Ravi Rana, the legislator from Badnera in Amravati, were arrested by the Mumbai police on April 23 after they announced that they would recite the Hanuman Chalisa outside Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray’s private residence ‘Matoshree’ in Bandra area here.

    They were booked on charges of sedition and prompting enmity between different groups.

    The special court had on May 4 granted bail to the couple and imposed some conditions on them, including not to indulge in a similar offence and not to speak to the media.

    On Monday, the suburban Khar police filed an application through special public prosecutor Pradip Gharat, seeking that the court cancel the couple’s bail as they had allegedly violated the condition of not speaking to the media.

    “The accused persons (Navneet Rana and Ravi Rana) have given interviews to media since their release and hence, flouted the condition imposed by the special court while granting them bail.

    We are seeking for the bail to be cancelled and a warrant to be issued to the accused and they be taken in custody forthwith,” Gharat said.

  • ‘Painful, embarrassing for Maharashtra’: BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis decries arrest of Rana couple

    By PTI

    MUMBAI BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday called the arrest of MP Navneet Rana and her husband and MLA Ravi Rana by Mumbai Police “painful” and “embarrassing” for Maharashtra.

    He also said the police did not act when a leader of the ruling Shiv Sena made threatening statements or the car of a BJP leader was attacked, but arrested the Ranas when they arrived in Mumbai to recite the Hanuman Chalisa outside Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray’s house.

    In a series of tweets, Fadnavis said, “The incidents in Maharashtra are painful. No FIR was filed when Mohit Kamboj’s vehicle was attacked or when a leader talks about burying a woman representative 20 feet under the ground. But when the Rana couple comes to Mumbai to recite Hanuman Chalisa, they are immediately arrested.”

    इतकी दंडुकेशाही इतका अहंकारइतका द्वेषसत्तेचा इतका माजसरकारच करणार हिंसाचारएवढीच तुमची मदुर्मकसत्तेच्या मस्तीत कसेही वागून घ्यापण, जनता सारे काही पाहते आहे !निव्वळ लज्जास्पदलोकशाहीत मत मांडण्याचा अधिकार संपला?लोकशाहीचे गार्‍हाणे गाणारे आज सोयीस्कर गप्प का?
    — Devendra Fadnavis (@Dev_Fadnavis) April 23, 2022
    Kamboj, a Mumbai BJP leader, had claimed on Friday that his car was attacked near Matoshree, Chief Minister Thackeray’s private residence. Sena leader Raut said earlier on Saturday, without naming any person, that anyone who tried to test the patience of his party would be “buried 20 feet beneath the earth”.

    “Why is there so much arrogance of power? It is the state government that is instigating violence. Is your manhood limited to such behaviour,” Fadnavis, a former chief minister tweeted. “It is an utter embarrassment for the state to witness such a poor show. All this is happening before the people,” he added.

    He also asked if the arrest indicated that “people have lost their right to express their views”, and why those who speak about democratic values were “selectively silent”. Earlier in the day, speaking in Nagpur, Fadnavis said the Shiv Sena-led Maharashtra government’s way of handling the entire episode was “very childish”.

    “If allowed, the Rana couple would have gone there (Matoshree), recited Hanuman Chalisa and returned without creating any news. I don’t understand why so many people had gathered at several places as if they (Rana couple) were planning some attack. What kind of politics is this?” the BJP leader said.

    Mumbai Police on Saturday evening arrested MLA Ravi Rana and his wife, MP Navneet Rana, both Independent legislators from eastern Maharashtra, for allegedly “creating enmity between different groups” after escorting them out of their house in suburban Khar amid high drama.

    The development came hours after the couple cancelled their plan to recite the Hanuman Chalisa outside Uddhav Thackeray’s private residence ‘Matoshree’ here.

  • Arond 40 IPS officers transferred in Maharashtra, Nashik city gets new police chief

    By PTI

    MUMABI: In a major reshuffle, the Maharashtra government on Wednesday promoted or transferred around 40 senior police officers, including Nashik police commissioner Deepak Pandey, who has been replaced, days after he reportedly alleged that land mafias were hand in glove with a section of revenue department officials and faced flak for going public on the issue.

    Transfers and promotions were announced in multiple official orders. DIG (VIP security) Jayant Naiknavare will replace Pandey as the Nashik police commissioner. Pandey, who was criticised by Revenue Minister Balasaheb Thorat for making the allegation in the media, has been appointed special inspector general (prevention of atrocities on women department).

    In the backdrop of loudspeaker row, Pandey had issued directives a few days ago stating no one will be allowed to play bhajan or songs on loudspeakers within 15-minute period before and after the call of ‘azaan’ in the radius of 100 meters of any mosque in Nashik city.

    The directives were issued in the wake of MNS president Raj Thackeray’s demand that loudspeakers atop mosques be removed by May 3 or else Hanuman Chalisa will be played on loudspeakers in front of them. According to media reports, in March Pandey had written a letter to the DGP seeking transfer out of Nashik city.

    In a separate letter to the state police chief, the IPS officer had sought curtailment in powers of district revenue officers and also suggested certain administrative changes. The government has also transferred Pimpri-Chinchwad Police Commissioner Krishna Prakash, who will be the new Spl IG (VIP security), Maharashtra. Spl IG (Sudhar Seva) Ankush Shinde will replace Prakash as the Pimpri-Chinchwad police commissioner.

    In another development, Joint Commissioner of Mumbai Police’s Crime Branch Milind Bharambe and Spl IG (Law & Order) Suhas Warke have been transferred to each other’s posts.  Joint Commissioner of Pune city Ravindra Shisve has been appointed IG (State human rights commission), while senior officer Sureshkumar Mekala has been named IG (State CID).

    DIG Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Lakhmi Gautam has been transferred as IG (establishment) in the Maharashtra police headquarters, while Additional Commissioner of Mumbai Police’s West Region Sandeep Karnik has been promoted and appointed in Shisve’s place.

    Another senior officer and Karnik’s batchmate Satyanarayan who serves in Mumbai Police’s Traffic department has been appointed IG (coastal security), his counterpart in Mumbai’s North region Praveenkumar Padwal, joint commissioner of police (EOW), while S Jaykumar has been promoted as IG (administration) in the state police headquarters.

    IPS officer Nishith Mishra has been posted as IG (Anti-Terrorism Squad), Sanjay Mohite promoted as IG (Konkan range), Dattatray Karale promoted as JCP Thane, Pravin Pawar promoted as Director, Maharashtra Intelligence Academy, and Balasaheb G Shekhar as IG (Nashik range).

    In all, the government has promoted 14 officials as special police inspector general and transferred many of them elsewhere. Eleven officials were promoted as deputy inspector general and transferred from their current place of posting.

  • Mumbai cops probing extortion charges against four ED officers: Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut

    By PTI

    MUMBAI: Alleging that Enforcement Directorate and some of its officers were acting as an “ATM” for the BJP, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Tuesday said the Mumbai Police were probing “extortion” charges against four officers of the federal anti-money laundering agency and that some of them will go to jail.

    Addressing a news conference here, Raut said a complaint has been lodged with the Mumbai Police to probe “corruption” and the “extortion racket”.

    Separately, the Mumbai Police is probing BJP leader Kirit Somaiya’s business relations with Rakesh Wadhwan, one of the accused in the PMC bank scam, Raut said.

    He alleged that whenever Enforcement Directorate raids any company, it has transferred money to firms belonging to one Jitendra Navlani.

    Raut claimed that Navlani was close to many BJP leaders.

    “The ED and some of its officials have become an ATM (automated teller machine) for the BJP,” Raut said, maintaining he has shared details of the same with the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

    “The Mumbai Police were probing extortion and corruption charges against four ED officials. The Mumbai Police are capable of that. And mark my words…some ED officials will go to jail,” the Rajya Sabha MP claimed.

    Raut said one former ED official even contested the election on a BJP ticket and also funded the expenses of 50 party candidates.

    He, however, did not share any details on his claim.

    He alleged that ED officials and their “agents” in Mumbai are involved in “intimidating and extorting money” from builders, developers and corporates.

    Raut, however, did not reveal the identities or designations of these ED officials but added that he will name them in his next press conference.

    Elaborating further on Navlani, Raut said the former has seven companies.

    “Whenever there has been an ED probe, Navlani’s company received money from the company which was raided by the central agency. The companies have no office, no staff,” he claimed.

    The Shiv Sena MP also furnished a list of companies, which he claimed, transferred money to Navlani’s firms.

    Attacking Somaiya, who has levelled corruption charges against leaders close to the Thackerays, Raut said the BJP leader and his son will go to jail for alleged financial transactions with the Wadhwans.

    His remarks came on a day when some Shiv Sena office-bearers, including a leader considered close to Maharashtra Tourism Minister Aaditya Thackeray, were raided by the Income Tax Department.

    Raut said the I-T department’s action comes ahead of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation polls.

    The BMC – which is controlled by the Sena for more than two and half decades — is the country’s richest civic body with a budget more than many smaller states.

    The actions of Central agencies are also aimed at destabilising the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government.

    He said 14 main people from the MVA government have been targeted by the central agencies so far.

    “Your (the BJP’s) actions will boomerang,” Raut said.
