Pak man kills wife, dies by suicide in Kharghar, couple moved to India a few months ago: Police
A 45-year-old Pakistani national allegedly killed his 34-year-old wife and died by suicide in Kharghar area of Navi Mumbai on Monday, police said. The exact reason behind the crime is not known, but preliminary inquiry with the relatives revealed that the couple was struggling financially and were preparing to go back to Pakistan. According to police sources, Notan Das alias Sanjay Sachdev and his wife Sapna Notandas, both Pakistani nationals, had moved to India along with their two children aged 10 and 6 years, a few months ago on a long-term visa. However, police said, the couple allegedly started fighting recently over domestic disputes involving a financial crisis. Sapna's sister, who is an Indian national, was helping them financially. According to the Kharghar police, on Monday morning, when the younger child of the couple returned from the school — his elder sibling was still in school — he found the door of their flat in Kharghar sector-34 building locked from inside. He then called his neighbors, who informed Sapna's sister. After the sister reached the flat and got it opened with the help of the police, they found the couple lying in a pool of blood. Sachdev, who was still breathing, was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to injuries, a police officer said. The postmortem examination indicated that Sachdev might have attacked Sapna with a knife on her neck, back and shoulder, and later, using the same weapon, he stabbed in his neck, another officer from a Kharghar police station said. Sapna's sister told police that her sister and brother-in-law were struggling financially and that could be a reason behind the incident. Police have registered a case under section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) against Sachdev and are further recording statements of their friends and relatives. After the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, the External Affairs Ministry had suspended visas of all Pakistani nationals, excluding the Long Stay Visas (LTVs) issued to Hindus from Pakistan.

Pak Man Stabs Wife To Death In Flat Near Mumbai Before Killing Self
Navi Mumbai: A 45-year-old Pakistani national allegedly fatally stabbed his 35-year-old wife, also a Pakistani, using a kitchen knife in their rented flat in Kharghar node of Navi Mumbai before killing himself over a domestic dispute, police said on Tuesday. The Pakistani couple, identified as Notandas alias Sanjay Sachdev and his wife Sapna Notandas, were on long-term visas to India, a police officer said. Deputy Commissioner of Police Prashant Mohite said the couple was found lying in pools of blood in their rented flat on Monday. "The sister of the woman visited the flat on Monday as Sapna Notandas was not responding to her calls, leading to the discovery of the crime," said Mohite. He said doctors declared Sapna Notandas dead at the scene, while her husband succumbed to his injuries during treatment. The preliminary investigation suggests that Notandas attacked his wife with a sharp kitchen knife following a fight, stabbing her multiple times on the neck, back, and shoulder, leading to her death. "Subsequently, Notandas used the same weapon to stab himself in the neck, which resulted in his own death," the police officer said. He said Sapna Notandas and her husband were originally Pakistani citizens. "Our records show they arrived in India in November 2024 on a long-term visit visa. The couple had been residing in the flat with their two children for the past six months. We are currently conducting a thorough verification of their visas and other identity documents as part of the ongoing investigation," Mohite added. Police have registered a case under section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS). In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, the Central government issued 'leave India' notices to Pakistani nationals holding short-term visas covering 12 categories. The External Affairs Ministry had stated that the decision to suspend visas of Pakistani nationals wouldn't affect the validity of the Long Stay Visas (LTVs) issued to Hindu Pakistani nationals earlier. Mohite said a major concern for the police administration is the welfare and future of the two young children left behind by the couple. "We are trying to find out who will take care of them."

Wazahat Khan, complainant against Sharmistha Panoli, arrested by Kolkata Police
Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], June 10 (ANI): Wazahat Khan, who had complained against social media influencer Sharmistha Panoli for posting an alleged communal video, has been arrested by Kolkata Police for allegedly spreading hatred and hurting religious sentiments, police said. According to Kolkata Police, the accused was arrested on Monday evening from Amherst Street police station in connection with a case registered against him under sections 196(1)(a), 299, 352, 353(1)(c) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) at Golf Green police station. Khan had filed a complaint against Law student Sharmistha Panoli, who was arrested by Kolkata Police from Gurugram for allegedly hurting religious sentiments through her comments on social media. Earlier, a complaint was filed against Wazahat Khan Qadri, the man whose FIR led to the Law student's arrest. Prasun Maitra, NGO president from North 24 Parganas, lodged a police complaint accusing Wazahat of repeatedly posting abusive, anti-Hindu posts on X. In his complaint to the Kolkata Police and Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime), Maitra said, 'This is to draw your attention to the following tweets (now deleted) by one Wazahat Khan Qadri Rashidi with the identity of X handle of @rashidi_wazahat hurting religious sentiments of millions of Hindus across the globe. The screenshots of the tweets are enclosed.' 'Your (Kolkata Police) recent activism shows that you are very much against such communally instigating posts and determined to enforce the rule of law. In view of the above, you are requested to initiate appropriate legal action against the person described above, in line with your recent activities and as per the law of the land, so that your integrity doesn't come under any question,' he said in the complaint. This came after Panoli, in an Instagram clip, allegedly made derogatory remarks towards a particular religion. She later deleted the video and issued an unconditional apology. However, she was remanded to judicial custody till June 13. On Saturday, Panoli was produced before the Alipore Court in Kolkata, which remanded her in judicial custody for 14 days. According to the Kolkata Police, several attempts were made to serve legal notices to Panoli and her family, but the attempts were unsuccessful because Panoli and her family absconded. Subsequently, the court issued an arrest warrant, based on which she was arrested from Gurugram on Friday night. (ANI)
