Deputy Education Officer to Review Controversial School Amid Mumbai Concerns

The State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has ordered the education inspector to conduct an inspection of Badruddin Tayabji Urdu High School under Anjuman-I-Islam Trust in Mumbai. The child rights’ authority has sought the report after it took cognisance of a complaint by a parent who has alleged that the school is operating illegally.
Zahid Hussain Idrisi, the parent, has claimed that the school has been functioning without the necessary educational approvals and thus misleading the government, parents, and students. Idrisi has claimed in his complaint that the school is not recognized under the UDISE (Unified District Information System for Education), which was confirmed through a Right to Information (RTI) reply.
Idrisi had requested the commission to take cognizance, order a thorough probe including a physical inspection of the school. The complaint emphasises the need for the commission to ensure that the school complies with educational regulations.
“Upon discovering the fraudulent operations of the so-called Badruddin Tayyabji Urdu High School under the banner of Anjuman-e-Islam, I raised concerns with the education department. Despite clear evidence, the matter was overlooked. My persistence led to the eventual exposure of the deceit. My exposure was done not only to protect the rights of parents and students, but to uphold the integrity of our educational system,” said Idrisi.
He added: “After closely examining the school’s diary, website, and admission ads, I realised that Anjuman-e-Islam was running a school named Badruddin Tayyabji Urdu High School, which was neither recognized by the government nor listed in official educational records. Shocked by this deceit, I filed a complaint in 2019 demanding a thorough investigation. Despite the principal’s admission of error then and the initial inquiry by the then education inspector, there were issues which were ignored by the department. Earlier this year we filed an RTI which confirmed everything.”
Following the complaint by Idrisi, the State Commission for Protection of Child Rights directed the education officer of south zone to investigate and to submit a report within seven days. The education officer Devidas Mahajan on Wednesday instructed the deputy education inspector to conduct an inspection in the matter and submit the report at the earliest.
Nitin Dalvi, president of the NGO Maharashtra Rajya Vidyarthi, Palak, Shikshak Mahasangh, who is helping the parent in the case told mid-day: “Following the filing of a complaint against the Anjuman-e-Islam institution for operating a bogus grant-aided school named Badruddin Tayyabji Urdu High School, the institution swiftly removed the school’s name from its website on August 2. This prompt action by Anjuman-e-Islam suggests an acknowledgment of the allegations, highlighting that the school may indeed have been operating without proper authorisation. If at all this school is receiving government aid as claimed by the management, then why is their name not in the UDISE list?”
Mahajan told mid-day that the allegations are of serious nature and needs to be investigated. “Our deputy education officer will conduct an investigation in the matter and will submit a report regarding the same in a week’s time,” said Mahajan and added that having a UDISE number is mandatory.
Despite calls and text messages, the officer-bearer of Anjuman-e-Islam did not respond till press time.

Bir Mecca Masjid bomb blast implementation of UAPA

Mumbai: Police has implemented UAPA Act in the Bir Ard Masla Mecca Masjid blast case. On the midnight of March 30, Vijay Agon and Shri Ram Ashok placed a bomb in the mosque and exploded it. This explosion was done with the help of jetliner and detonator. In this case, the police had earlier registered a case under Arms Act and other sections, but after that Muslim organizations had demanded to prosecute the accused under UAPA Act and NSA.
The Beed blast was investigated by the local crime branch, in which the crime branch found that the explosion was very powerful and detonators were also used along with jetliner rods. On this basis, UAPA Act has been implemented on the recommendation of the Crime Branch. Police have registered a case against both the terrorists under sections 16 and 18 of UAPA. Since the Beed blast, Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) is investigating it along with the police. The ATS is investigating the connection and financing of terrorists in this case, including how jetliner rods were made available to the accused and who provided them jetliner rods without license or permit. Along with this, investigation is also going on to find out how many more people and conspirators are involved in this case. ATS said that investigation is going on every aspect and point of the Beed bomb blast, however, ATS has so far questioned many people in this case, including family members and well-wishers of the accused as well as their friends and acquaintances. ATS is trying to uncover the conspiracy before the blast in the Beed Mecca Masjid blast case because before the blast, accused Vijay Agon had released a video and uploaded it on the status threatening Muslims to remove the mosque and only after that the blast took place here. The local police had also registered a case of spreading religious hatred against the accused a day earlier and the mosque was blown up the next day.

Actor Ajaz Khan’s Wife Fallon Guliwala Granted Bail in Drugs Case

Mumbai: Fallon Guliwala, wife of actor Ajaz Khan, who was arrested in November 2024 after narcotics were recovered from her residence, has been granted bail by a special court in Mumbai.
Guliwala had been in custody for over four months. The court has imposed certain conditions for her bail, including the submission of her passport, a restriction on travel, and mandatory attendance before the investigating officer three times a week until the chargesheet is filed.
Her lawyer, Ayaz Khan, argued that she was unaware of the recovered items and that she was not the only occupant of the premises. He also mentioned that the CCTV system was turned off during the raid, and no videography or photography was conducted.
Special Public Prosecutor Vibhavari Pathak opposed the bail plea, stating that a prima facie case existed against Guliwala.
Considering that the seizure process had already been completed, the court granted bail but with strict conditions.
