Woman, her paramour's accomplices held for husband's murder in Dindoshi

The Dindoshi Police in Mumbai has arrested a 28-year-old woman and two of her her paramour's accomplices in connection with the brutal murder of her husband, an official said. According to police sources, the deceased has been identified as Chandrashekhar Ramsingh Chauhan (35), who worked in the film industry. He is survived by his wife, Ranju (28), and their three children, including a 12-year-old daughter. The police investigations revealed that Chandrashekhar and Ranju had a troubled marriage, marked by frequent arguments. Chauhan suspected his wife of infidelity, while Ranju, fearing that her husband had discovered the truth, sought help from her 20-year-old lover, Shahrukh Khan. They said that Shahrukh and Ranju had met through social media and developed a close bond, often spending hours on the phone. He frequently visited her house in her husband’s absence and became friendly with her children, even taking them out on outings. Police sources further said that a recent argument between Chandrashekhar and Ranju turned violent, with Chandrashekhar physically assaulting her. Frustrated with her situation, Ranju urged Shahrukh to help eliminate her husband permanently. She even threatened to take her own life if Chauhan was not killed. The police sources further said, emotionally influenced by Ranju, Shahrukh assured her of his support and devised a murder plan. He roped in two of his friends, Moinuddin Latif Khan (20) and Shivdas Prasad, by offering them Rs. 2 lakh each. On the day of the murder, Shahrukh arrived at Chauhan’s house with his two accomplices. Ranju opened the door and led them inside. Together, they overpowered Chauhan and strangled him to death. According to police sources, Ranju covered Chauhan’s mouth to muffle his screams, while Shahrukh and Moinuddin pressed a wooden plank against his neck. They sat on the plank and did not move until he stopped breathing, ensuring his death. Meanwhile, Shivdas Prasad held Chauhan’s legs to prevent resistance. After committing the crime, the accused fled the scene. The next morning, Ranju called her brother-in-law, Virendra Chauhan, who resides in Dadar, and informed him about Chandrashekhar’s condition, said an official. At around noon, Virendra Chauhan (50) arrived at the Dindoshi Police Station and reported his brother-in-law’s death. The duty officer visited the crime scene and noticed suspicious marks on the deceased’s neck. Senior officers were immediately informed, and a spot Panchnama was conducted before sending the body for an autopsy. The doctor who examined the body also suspected foul play, and the postmortem report confirmed that the cause of death was strangulation, the official said. The police said that under the guidance of DCP Smita Patil, Senior Inspector Ajay Afale, and PSI Ajit Desai, the police launched an investigation. When interrogated, Ranju initially claimed that someone had been knocking on their door in the early hours every day, and on the day of the incident, she had found her husband unresponsive in the morning. However, inconsistencies in her statement raised further suspicion. The officials said that the police analysed Ranju’s Call Data Records (CDR) and discovered a number with which she frequently communicated, including on the night of the murder. Further investigations of that number's CDR revealed that the locations of two suspects were traced to Ranju’s house at the time of the crime. Faced with mounting evidence, Ranju finally broke down during questioning and confessed to the crime, sources said. The police arrested Moinuddin Khan and later Shivdas Ayodhya Prasad. However, Shahrukh Khan remains absconding, and efforts are underway to track him down, said an officer.

Ulhasnagar: Man dies after fatal Holi prank with water hose

A 45-year-old resident of Ulhasnagar died after his friends allegedly directed a high-pressure water hose at his rectum during Holi celebrations on March 14. The man was admitted to KEM hospital on the same day, but died of complications two days later on March 16, the Kalyan Taluka police said. The victim worked at the venue along with his ‘friends,’ who were also employed there. The accused have been identified as Manish Chaitamani, 36, Krishna Singh, 46, and Saurabh Chanda, 30, all residents of Ulhasnagar. They were playing Holi together on Rang Panchami at the venue and had consumed alcohol,” said Suresh Kadam, police inspector, Kalyan Taluka police. “When one of them noticed a water pipe lying on the lawn. He picked it up while the other two pushed the victim to the ground and separated his legs. They were all in high spirits, laughing, unaware that their actions could be fatal,” Kadam said. Victim was declared dead on Mar 16. Representation pic/iStock He further explained, “The pipe was a high-pressure hose, so even though they couldn’t insert it into the rectum as they had intended, the force of the water was directed inside the victim’s body. Within minutes, he fell unconscious.” The victim was first taken to the Super Speciality Hospital under the Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation (UMC) in Shahad. However, due to his critical condition, he was referred elsewhere. His friends took him to multiple clinics before he was eventually transferred to KEM Hospital, Parel. He received treatment at KEM Hospital from March 15 until the evening of March 16, when he was declared dead. “According to doctors, there were no external injuries, but multiple internal injuries and organ damage due to water entering his body,” Kadam added. On March 16, hospital authorities alerted the Bhoiwada police, who registered a zero FIR. The case was then transferred to Kalyan Taluka police since the crime had occurred in their jurisdiction. On March 17, police arrested the three accused, who were presented in court and remanded to police custody for four days. All three have been booked for murder.  In a similar incident from 2015, a 32-year-old car washer in India died after a colleague inserted a high-pressure air hose into his rectum as a prank. The victim, identified as Shankar Mandal, was working at a car service centre in Kolkata when a coworker playfully inserted the hose and turned it on. The force of the compressed air caused severe internal injuries, leading to Mandal’s death. The accused was arrested, and police classified the act as an accident rather than intentional murder.

Two Mumbai Police personnel held for accepting Rs 20,000 bribe

Two Mumbai Police personnel were arrested for allegedly accepting a Rs 20,000 bribe for releasing a car impounded for the investigation in a road accident case, an ACB official said on Wednesday, reported news agency PTI. The main accused, Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Sunil Desai, had allegedly demanded Rs 35,000 from the complainant who was booked in a road accident case and his car impounded, reported PTI. After negotiations, Desai allegedly agreed to accept Rs 20,000, the official said. He said the ACB stepped in after receiving a complaint against Desai. ACB officials arrested Constable Shendge for accepting the bribe on Tuesday. Desai was also held, reported PTI. The duo is attached to the MHB police station. They were booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Further investigations are underway, the official added. Bombay HC denies pre-arrest bail to sessions court judge booked for bribery The Bombay High Court on Monday refused pre-arrest bail to a sessions court judge booked in a bribery case, reported PTI. Satara District and Sessions Judge Dhananjay Nikam was booked by the Maharashtra Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 5 lakh to grant bail in a cheating case, reported PTI. A single bench of Justice N R Borkar, which had heard the matter in chamber as it involved a judicial officer, rejected the application saying it was not inclined to grant any relief. A copy of the detailed order will be available later. Nikam had approached HC in January seeking anticipatory bail claiming innocence and that he was implicated in the case. The petition, filed through advocate Viresh Purwant, said the FIR does not show any direct demand or acceptance of money by Nikam. It claimed he was neither aware of meetings between the complainant and other accused nor that the complainant was related to the accused seeking bail, reported PTI. The plea further said Nikam was on leave or deputation on key dates, which raises doubts about the allegations. As per the complaint lodged by a woman, her father, a civilian defence employee, is in judicial custody for allegedly cheating someone under the pretext of offering a government job. After a lower court denied him bail, the woman filed a fresh bail application in the Satara sessions court, which was to be heard by Nikam. The ACB alleged that two private individuals, Kishor Sambhaji Kharat from Mumbai and Anand Mohan Kharat from Satara, demanded Rs 5 lakh from the woman at Nikam's behest for a favourable order, reported PTI. The ACB claimed the bribe demand was verified during their investigation between December 3 and 9, 2024 confirming that Nikam, in collusion with Kishor Kharat and Anand Kharat, sought the bribe. The ACB has booked Nikam, Kishor Kharat, Anand Kharat and an unidentified individual under the Prevention of Corruption Act, reported PTI. Nikam, in his petition, said he neither avoided hearing the bail application nor made any promise of favourable orders. The petition also claimed no such bail orders were passed during the period.

NIC Bank case: Non-bailable warrant issued against ex-chairman, his wife

A local court in Mumbai has issued a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against New India Co-operative (NIC) Bank's former chairman Hiren Bhanu and his wife Gauri Bhanu, the officials said on Wednesday, reported the PTI. The two has fled the country just before the Rs 122 crore embezzlement case came to light last month, officials said. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police, which is investigating the case, has so far arrested seven persons in connection with the case, an official said. "The bank's former chairman and vice chairman, Hiren Bhanu and his wife Gauri Bhanu, are wanted accused in the case. But they left the country on January 26 and February 10 respectively," he said, according to the PTI. As both are out of country and locating them was necessary for the probe of the case, a 'Blue Corner Notice' has been issued against them earlier, he said. "While investigating the case, the EOW had submitted an application before the court about issuing a non-bailable warrant against the Bhanu couple. Accordingly, the court has issued a non-bailable warrant against the couple," he said, as per the PTI. The EOW's probe team failed to find the couple at their known addresses, he said. The search was conducted at their owned and rented apartments in south Mumbai, the official said. According to him, another accused, Unnathan Arunachalam, was hiding in Bihar before being arrested. The police have said that Rs 122 crore were siphoned off from the safes of the bank's Prabhadevi and Goregaon offices in Mumbai. Former General Manager and Head of Accounts at the bank, Hitesh Mehta, was arrested on February 15, following which six other accused were held. Last week, the Mumbai Police conducted a polygraph test on Mehta. According to EOW sources, the test results indicate possible deception in Mehta's responses. The police authorities are probing further financial transactions and possible involvement of more individuals in the large-scale scam, the official said. He added that more arrests in the coming days were very likely as the investigation in the matter further progresses, the news agency reported. (with PTI inputs)

Vasai Hospital anaesthetist arrested for sexual harassment of female doctor

A 54-year-old anaesthetist has been arrested for making sexual advances and molesting his female doctor at a well-known hospital in Vasai. A source at the hospital told Mid-Day that the accused doctor is a qualified intensivist. “He is MD in Intensive Care,” said a highly placed source at the hospital. The survivor has alleged that the accused doctor would switch off the CCTV cameras at the hospital before making sexual advances and molesting her. According to the complainant’s statement to police, the accused had been sexually harassing her for the last two years.  She claims that the accused, a fellow senior male doctor, regularly demanded sexual favours in exchange for promising better career prospects. The complainant, a 35-year-old female doctor, has been employed at the same hospital for the last few years. “According to her statement, the accused would use their position of power and influence within the hospital to coerce or pressure her into complying with these demands, insinuating that her career advancement—such as promotions, opportunities for research, or better job assignments—depended on her acquiescence,” zonal Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Pournima Chougule-Shringi told Mid-Day.   The complainant told police that his repeated sexual advances and offers were made under the guise of professional or career-related incentives, creating a hostile and manipulative work environment. “Though she had made an internal complaint at the hospital in January, she did not get a satisfactory response. So, she approached us and we immediately registered a molestation case against the male doctor at Vasaigaon police station on Monday and arrested the accused,” the DCP Pournima added. “The police said that the survivor had been tolerating the sexual harassment for the last two years,” she said. The accused is in police custody for further investigation.
