Man, wife told to leave mum's home in 60 days
Mumbai: A man and his wife, who have been accused of physically and mentally abusing his 62-year-old mother, have been ordered by the maintenance and welfare of parents and senior citizens tribunal to vacate her home in Parel's Parsi Baug in 60 days. The couple has levelled counter allegations of abuse and physical assault against the elderly woman. After reviewing all statements, the tribunal noted that the residence belongs to Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) Trust and the elderly mother, a widow, is a licensee. "Considering the accusations made by both parties against each other, it would not be appropriate for them to reside in the same house," it said. In a Jan 14 letter, BPP Trust had directed the son to vacate the premises, but he did not comply with the order. The mother, who lives in the 600sqft home with her daughter, moved the tribunal through advocate Adnan Mookhtiar on April 27, 2023, seeking the eviction of her son and daughter-in-law. Mookhtiar said the mother had no independent source of income, and the couple subjected her to consistent mental and physical harm. The plea claimed that the daughter-in-law verbally abused and physically assaulted her, leading to a non-cognisable complaint being lodged with police. It was alleged that the couple filmed her without consent, restricted her movement within her own home, and that her health was deteriorating due to their actions. Expressing fear for her safety, the mother sought their eviction and financial maintenance. The son said he used to pay his mother Rs 2,000 a month as per an interim order but missed recent payments after losing his job. He alleged his mother and his sister subjected his wife, who is a non-Parsi, to severe harassment. He claimed his wife and five-year-old daughter were verbally abused, physically assaulted and ostracised, including being locked out of the house and having their food needs ignored after the gas supply was reportedly disconnected by his mother in June last year. He said false accusations by his mother and his sister prevented his daughter's admission to a Parsi school. The tribunal's order can be appealed before the appellate authority within 60 days.

10 mnths after disappearance, constable's skeletal remains found in Sivasagar, 4 held
1 2 3 Dibrugarh: Skeletal remains of a 51-year-old constable missing for 10 months were found in a pit behind the house of one of the four murder accused in a village in Assam's Sivasagar district Saturday, prompting police to arrest his second wife, her two sons from her previous marriage, and an accomplice. The victim, Rabirul Hussain, was allegedly drugged with sleeping pills by his second wife, Baby Begum (47), and her two sons — Idul (22) and Mahfuz (19) — before being smothered and hacked to death. His body was then buried behind the house of Mukib Ali, a dumper driver, in Rohdoi Ali village, police said. Hussain, posted in Mankachar, had travelled to his native village of Habigaon in Sivasagar for Eid in July 2024. He was last seen alive on July 27, the day he was scheduled to return to duty. Although Baby Begum filed a missing person report, the case took a new turn when Hussain's first wife approached Charaideo police a month and a half later, suspecting foul play. "The case had hit a dead end until the fresh complaint from his first wife prompted a re-investigation. We started from scratch using technical surveillance and human intelligence," said Charaideo SP Surjeet Singh Panesar. Following the murder, Mukib fled to Chennai. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Contagem (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo But his luck ran out when a team led by DSP Aryan Nath tracked him down and arrested him in Sriperumbudur. During interrogation, Mukib confessed to the crime and led investigators to the burial site. "DNA profiling of the remains will be carried out," said SP Panesar. Subsequently, police arrested Baby Begum, Idul, and Mahfuz. "The constable had taken a bank loan and even bought a car in Baby's name. However, he was also supporting his first wife. The motive appears to be financial — to prevent him from continuing to spend money on his first wife. This is the preliminary motive we've gathered," the SP added. Police are proceeding with charges of murder and criminal conspiracy against all four accused.

Couple found dead at house, kin alleges threat from bank
Thiruvananthapuram: A couple, who were reportedly facing a severe financial crisis, were found dead at their house in Karamana, allegedly after receiving a call from a nationalised bank informing them that their house would be attached on Monday as part of revenue recovery. Police identified the deceased as Satheeshan, 55, of Keshava Bhavan near Kochu Kattanvila at Thamalam and Bindu V, 49. Bindu's body was found hanging in the bedroom and Satheeshan's body was lying on the floor. "Only after a postmortem can we confirm whether it was suicide or whether there was any foul play. The cause of Satheeshan's death has also not been confirmed. There was some bleeding from his body," said police. The relatives of the deceased alleged that the bank cheated the deceased by charging an enormous amount as interest on the loan taken. According to relatives, Satheeshan took a loan of Rs 60 lakh about seven years ago. He suffered a stroke in 2021. Following this, he could not repay the loan amount. "Two years ago, the bank offered him some money as a top-up of the existing loan. However, he received no money, and the bank asked him to pay Rs 1.10 crore to avoid revenue recovery. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is USDJPY on the Upward Move? IC Markets Sign Up Undo In April, the bank staff members had reached the house to seal the property, but due to the resistance by local people, they did not proceed with it. The bank later directed him to pay back Rs 2 crore. Following that, he filed a case against the bank demanding a reassessment of the way the repayment amount was calculated and also for threatening him on the phone continuously," said Binu T, brother of Bindu. Binu also said the family was planning to sell the house to repay the loan, but by projecting a huge amount, the bank ruined their plans to clear the dues. Locals recently protested in front of the bank demanding justice by waiving off some part of the interest. But the bank was not willing to do so, alleged Binu.
