Live-in couple detained for hitting children
MUMBAI: The Malvani police have booked and detained a Malad-based live-in couple for allegedly assaulting their three children. According to the police, 32-year-old Chetna Patil and 40-year-old Pankaj Kumar reside in Malwani, close to the residence of Patil's mother, 54-year-old Poonam Parmar. Patil has a seven-year-old son, Priyank, from her first husband, and two children named Raghav, 1, and Vivani, 2, from Kumar. In her complaint, Parmar said that she had witnessed the couple hit Priyank brutally in 2020, when they lived in Andheri. Their neighbours had also shown her videos of them assaulting the young boy. She subsequently convinced the couple to shift to Malad, close to her residence, and hoped that the assaults had ended. However, on Saturday, when Parmar visited her daughter, she saw Kumar assaulting his stepson Priyank and complained about the matter to the Malvani police. 'They have been torturing the children constantly, both physically and mentally, and the children have several injury marks all over their bodies,' said Parmar. Based on her complaint, the Malvani police registered a case against Patil and Kumar under section 75 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act and section 115 (2) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita. 'We have detained the couple and handed over the children to the Child Welfare Committee,' a police officer aware of the matter said.

FIR against mother & live-in partner for assault on 3 kids
Mumbai: An FIR has been lodged against a Malad-based woman and her live-in partner for cruelty and brutal assault of their three minor children aged eight, two and one. The FIR was registered on May 31 on the basis of a complaint made by the woman's mother. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The three children were rescued by the Malwani police and handed over to a child welfare NGO. The accused, Sheela and Sanjay (names changed to protect the identities of their children), started living together since June 2020 after Sheela's husband passed away. Sheela's son from her first marriage (now eight years old) lived with Sheela's mother at Malad. But in Aug 2020, Sheela took him away to live with her and her partner at Versova. Later, Sheela had two children with her partner— a girl who is now two and a boy who is one. Sheela's mother has said in her complaint that she wasn't sure if her daughter had tied the knot with Sanjay or not. On one occasion, Sheela's mother and sister decided to visit her at Versova. To their alarm, one of their neighbours told them that the three minor children were brutally assaulted and tortured by their parents. The neighbour showed them a video of Sanjay torturing the oldest boy. Sheela's mother couldn't take it anymore and asked Sheela to move back to Malad near her place with all the children. In Sept 2024, Sheela and Sanjay moved to Malad with the three children, and took a place close to her mother's residence. However, things did not get any better. Sheela's mother would visit them often and soon learnt that Sanjay was hooked on drugs. She found out that whenever Sanjay tortured the oldest child, Sheela would torture the two youngest children as a payback. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The children were kicked and suffered blows. Sheela's mother said in her complaint that she realised the children's lives were in grave danger. She eventually approached the Malwani police station to lodge a complaint against her daughter and the latter's live-in partner. "We have applied provisions of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Juvenile Justice Act against the couple. A notice has been served to Sanjay," said a police official.

Seven students from madrassa in Malad clear SSC examinations
Mumbai: Seven hafizs (those who memorised the entire Quran) from a Malad-based madrassa cleared the SSC exams, the results of which were declared on Tuesday. Madrassa Jamia Tajweedul Quran and Noor Meher High School, run by Noor Meher Charitable Trust from the same building, created a record of sorts by producing 112 hafizs who also cleared the SSC exams since it started the parallel programmes in 2012. This year, seven hafizs took the SSC exam, and all of them passed it, enabling them to pursue further education in mainstream courses. "We are so happy that all our seven hafizs also cleared the SSC exam and will now go for higher education. The aim is to empower these hafizs with qualifications to enter colleges and universities and become professionals while they are also hafizs," said Syed Ali, popular as Ali Bhai, Noor Meher Charitable Trust's founder. While Ali founded the madrassa in 2000, he introduced schooling in 2008, and the first batch of hafizs took the SSC exam in is a unique programme where children attend both the madrassa and school classes. There is a separate group of teachers who tutor the students at this residential madrassa being run from a bungalow at Malvani in Malad West. Mohammed Altaf, who comes from Bihar, said he was elated to have cleared the SSC and aspires to become a doctor. "I am a hafiz and now eligible to take admission in 11th science stream. I will try to crack NEET to become a doctor," said students appear in SSC exams as private candidates. Many of the alumni of this madrassa who also cleared SSC are now professionals placed in the corporate world. Shaikh Ruhullah became a hafiz and passed SSC in 2015. Subsequently, he graduated in computer engineering from Rizvi College in Bandra. Now, he works with a Dubai-based company dealing with AI technology."Whatever I am today, it is because of the base this madrassa and school gave me. But for the facilities and this unique programme being run at this madrassa, I might have ended up becoming just a maulvi. All thanks to Ali Bhai," said Ruhullah, son of an imam at a Bandra mosque.

Jaipur woman travels to Mumbai to kill ‘lover' in hotel room, arrested after wording in ‘suicide note' puts her in dock
The Dindoshi police Tuesday arrested a 44-year-old Jaipur woman who allegedly travelled to Mumbai, killed her 'lover' in a Malad hotel room, put a misleading message on the family's WhatsApp group showing that he died by suicide, and then travelled back home the same night. Barkat Rathod had allegedly been in an extramarital affair for the last two years with her husband's brother-in-law Imamuddin Ansari, a Malad-based interior decorator businessman living in Mira Road. The police said Barkat's husband left her after discovering her affair with Ansari and that she had been living with her mother at her place in Jaipur for the past two years, Barkat allegedly strangled Ansari in the Malad hotel room on May 4 and put out a message from his phone on the family WhatsApp group saying that he was taking the drastic step due to harassment from his wife, who suspected that there was an extramarital relationship between him and Barkat. The message further stated that there was no affair between them and that the allegations were merely rumours deliberately spread by Ansari's wife, the police said. Barkat then travelled to Surat and moved to her mother's place in Jaipur, said the police. After Ansari's family saw the message on the family WhatsApp group, they became suspicious about the language used as he was illiterate. The family subsequently informed the Naya Nagar police in Mira Road. After discovering that Ansari's mobile phone's last location was Malad, his 23-year-old son went there and started enquiring about him at nearby hotels, showing his photo. At the Shalimar hotel near the Malad railway station, a staffer identified Ansari as a guest who had checked in the hotel along with a burqa-clad woman. The staffer presented copies of the two Aadhaar cards submitted by Ansari and 'his wife'. Ansari's son identified the burqa-clad woman from the CCTV footage at the hotel as his relative Barkat, said the police. When the police checked the hotel room, they found Ansari lying semi-naked on the floor. He was rushed to the Siddharth hospital, where he was declared dead. After the postmortem report revealed there were nail marks around his neck and that he was strangled to death, the police registered a murder case and launched an operation to trace Barkat. Based on her mobile location, she was traced to Jaipur and was subsequently detained and brought to Mumbai. After due verification of the circumstantial and technical evidence, she was placed under arrest on murder charges, said a police officer.
