Mumbai bizman gets 1-year RI for outraging modesty of bank employee during address verification visit
Mumbai: In a case that serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers faced by women in the workplace, particularly when their duties require them to interact with clients in unsupervised settings, a magistrate's court recently convicted and sentenced a 54-year-old Malad businessman to one year of rigorous imprisonment (RI) for outraging the modesty of a female bank employee who had to visit his home. The woman, a deputy manager, visited the accused, Narendra Sagvekar's residence for address verification as part of the bank's account opening protocol. "In this case, I came to the conclusion that when the informant was on her duty and went to the house of the accused for his address verification, the accused was at home alone and applied force on her and outraged her modesty. The informant is a bank employee. At the time of the incident, the informant was 27 years old. Admittedly, it is an offence of moral turpitude. The accused committed an offence of moral turpitude, therefore, he is not entitled to get the benefit of probation," Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate BN Chikne said while refusing to let off the accused on a bond of good behaviour. The accused was also fined Rs 1,000. He was out on bail. The magistrate said that though there were loopholes in the investigations, the sole testimony of the woman was credible and unshattered, despite intensive cross-examination. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Struggling With Belly Fat?

Such incidents can cause a great deal of disruption in her life. Therefore, an Indian lady thinks 100 times before exposing herself before society. In this case, the delay has been properly explained by the informant," the magistrate said. The magistrate also acknowledged that incidents of this nature, occurring within the confines of a private space, often lack eyewitnesses.

"It is (also) difficult to believe that only because the accused did not reply to the WhatsApp message of the informant 'Hi', the informant lodged the false report against the accused. There is no motive at all for the informant to lodge a false complaint against the accused," the magistrate said. The incident occurred on Nov 27, 2020. Sagvekar visited the branch on Nov 26, 2020, to open a bank account. He provided his PAN card and Aadhaar card but failed to produce a photograph. As per bank rules, address verification at the customer's residence was required. On Nov 27, 2020, at approximately 12.30 pm, the woman arrived at the accused's residence. The accused was alone. After the procedures when she was about to leave, the accused "suddenly used criminal force on the informant with an intent to outrage her modesty by kissing her on her neck, cheek and holding her tightly, he was touching her whole body". The woman pushed him away and managed to escape. She returned to her bank branch and reported the ordeal to the bank manager, operations manager, and a colleague. She subsequently lodged a report with the Malad Police Station. The accused was arrested on De 17, 2020, and released on bail two days later. During the trial, the prosecution examined four witnesses, including the woman and other bank employees.

Verification drive: 4 holding centres emptied in Gurgaon, cops to restrict detentions to confirmed foreign nationals
Four community centres in Gurgaon will no longer be used as holding facilities for Bengali-speaking migrant workers suspected of being Bangladeshi or Rohingya. The Gurgaon Police said it will only look at confirmed foreign nationals and individuals under strong suspicion. The four centres were at Badshahpur, Sector 10A, Sector 40, and Sector 1 in Manesar. A police spokesperson on Friday said the centres have been emptied. 'We have identified 10 Bangladeshis (staying here illegally) from those kept at the holding centres. The deportation process is already underway for seven of them,' Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner of Police (Headquarters), Dr Arpit Jain, told The Indian Express on Saturday. Dr Jain added that while the detention of suspected foreigners at these centres has been paused for now, the verification drive is ongoing. 'Now, only those confirmed to be Bangladeshis, or those under strong suspicion of being foreign nationals, will be detained and taken to these centres pending verification,' he said. Asked about the total number of men kept at the centres, he said many had been brought in across the week and several were released the same day or within a day or two. The men were released once the local district magistrate in their hometown confirmed the validity of their documents. Over the past week, several migrant workers — mostly daily-wage labourers — were rounded up by the police as part of the drive, sparking panic among the Bengali-speaking migrant community and prompting many to leave the city. Families had claimed they had valid documentation — Aadhaar, PAN and ration cards and voter IDs — but the police were refusing to let their loved ones go. The move also left housing societies that depended on them for sanitation services struggling in terms of door-to-door waste collection. The police operations began after a letter from the Union Home Ministry, directing state governments to prepare a standard operating procedure to deport, in sufficient numbers, Bangladeshis and Rohingya staying illegally. '… if any illegal foreign national is found living in any state/district, he will be detained and kept in a Special Holding Centre… the police is conducting special search operations for illegal foreign nationals to maintain law and order and peace in district Gurugram, for which Special Holding Centres have been acquired vide letter… dated 18.07.2025 of this office,' read a July 22 order from District Magistrate. The police spokesperson on Saturday also asked citizens not to spread misinformation regarding alleged torture and violence on the part of the police during the operation. 'There is a lot of wrong information being shared online. So far, we have not received any such complaint; posts alleging torture are not genuine.' On the background of the 10 men found to be Bangladeshi, he said it is a part of the investigation, and further information cannot be shared at this stage.

Bengali migrant worker forced into Bangladesh at gunpoint, alleges family
Family members of a 19-year-old migrant worker from West Bengal have alleged that he was forced into Bangladesh at gunpoint by the Border Security Force after being arrested and kept in a detention centre in Rajasthan for two months. After a video of the man, Amir Sheikh, speaking to residents in Bangladesh was widely circulated online, his family filed a police complaint, his uncle, Mohammed Ajmaul Sheikh, told Scroll on Saturday. In the video, Amir Sheikh can be heard saying that he is a resident of West Bengal's Malda. He said he was working in Rajasthan and the state police picked him up on suspicion of being a Bangladeshi. Amir Sheikh also claimed that he had shown his Aadhaar card and additional documents of his parents to the police, but they 'insisted on an ID proof', which he did not have. 'I do not know anybody in Bangladesh,' he can be heard saying. 'I have nothing to eat.' Amir Sheikh, a 21-year-old migrant worker from Malda, Bengal was detained in Rajasthan and thrown across the border into Bangladesh using a JCB by @BSF_India - despite having valid Indian documents! This isn't security. — Pritish Roy (@PritishRoyAITC) July 25, 2025 Mohammed Ajmaul Sheikh told Scroll that Amir Sheikh had gone to Rajasthan three months ago. 'A contractor had informed us about his arrest and we had submitted all the documents with the help of him,' said Mohammed Ajmaul Sheikh. 'He had submitted Aadhaar and birth certificates. But they did not accept them.' The family also claimed that the Rajasthan Police had demanded Rs 50,000 to release Amir Sheikh. 'But we were unable to manage the money and he spent two months at a detention centre in Rajasthan,' said Mohammed Ajmaul Sheikh. He added that the family did not know about Amir Sheikh's whereabouts till the video appeared online. 'We spoke with him once after a Bangladeshi person made a call to us,' said Mohammed Ajmaul Sheikh. He also claimed that the Border Security Force had assaulted Amir Sheikh. The family has filed a police complaint in West Bengal, stating that they possess documents proving they have been living in India since the 1950s. This comes amid the Trinamool Congress raising alarms about reports alleging that several Bengali-speaking migrant workers had been detained in parts of the country on suspicion of being Bangladeshis. Since the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, the police in several states ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party have been detaining Bengali-speaking persons – mostly Muslims – and asking them to prove that they are Indian citizens. Several persons have been forced into Bangladesh after they allegedly could not prove their Indian citizenship. In some cases, individuals who were mistakenly sent to Bangladesh returned to the country after state authorities in India proved that they were Indians. In May, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs directed the states and Union Territories to verify the credentials of persons suspected to be undocumented migrants from Bangladesh and Myanmar. On July 19, the police in Gurugram detained at least 74 migrant workers on the suspicion that they were from Bangladesh, The Wire reported. Of these, 11 were from West Bengal and 63 from Assam. Scroll reported on Tuesday that even the son of an Assam Police constable was detained on suspicion of being an undocumented Bangladeshi immigrant. On Wednesday, Human Rights Watch said India should stop unlawfully deporting people to Bangladesh without due process. The organisation said that the government should instead 'ensure everyone's access to procedural safeguards to protect against arbitrary detention and expulsion'.
