Flat grabbing case: Bombay HC raps Pune police over NC report filing

Coming down heavily on an investigation officer of the Bund Garden police station in Pune, the Bombay High Court has asked the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) concerned to explain under which law is an “NC Summary” filed before a local magistrate in the first information report (FIR) of a flat grabbing case.
An NC report is usually filed by the police when the alleged offence is non-cognisable and hence there is no need to register an FIR.
The HC has kept the petition for hearing on March 17.
HC asks Bund Garden DCP for answers
A division bench of Justices Ajey Gadkari and Prakash Naik observed, “We direct the DCP having jurisdiction over the Bund Garden Police Station, Pune, to explain under which provision of law ‘NC Summary’ report is filed after registration of crime before the learned magistrate.” The court passed the order while hearing a petition filed by businessmen, Ravi Thadaney, 56 and Raju Thadaney, 59. Their Advocates Aashutosh Srivastava and Sahil Rathod argued that one Abdul Hamid Jafri sold their flat in Modi Khana area by forging documents.
What is the flat grabbing case all about?
Thadaneys had shifted from the flat at Modi Khana to separate houses in Pune before Covid struck. They left the flat intact with furniture with the intention of visiting it occasionally. When there was relaxation of movement, Raju Thadaney went to check on the flat and found that their flat was occupied by some strangers, said Srivastava.
On inquiry, Thadaneys learnt that Jafri claimed to own the place and sold the flat by allegedly forging documents. The records showed that the sale deed allegedly registered between Jafri and the “buyers” was already registered under some different names and for a different property, added Srivastava.
No FIR despite complaints
Despite complaints, the Bund Garden police did not register an FIR for over a month. Only after a written complaint was sent to the Commissioner of Police, Pune, the FIR was lodged. However, no further action was taken and hence the petition was filed in the HC.
The HC had earlier issued a notice and asked for probe status. During the hearing on March 3, Additional Public Prosecutor SS Hulke informed the HC that “NC Summary” was filed in the case.
The judges questioned under which provision of law such a summary was filed and asked the DCP to “personally look into” the matter.

Mumbai Police Arrests Man Who Abandoned Cancer-Stricken Grandmother In Aarey Colony Garbage Heap

Mumbai: Mumbai Police on Thursday arrested 33-year-old Sagar Shevale for allegedly abandoning his grandmother, who is battling skin cancer, at a garbage dumping site in Aarey Colony on June 22. The shocking act of neglect has sparked widespread outrage and also led to the intervention by the Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission.
The accused, an office boy from Hanuman Nagar in Kandivali, reportedly confessed to police that he abandoned his grandmother, Yashoda Gaikwad, out of frustration. According to media reports which quoted his statement, he had spent a lot of money on his daughter’s treatment and was frustrated by repeated refusals by hospitals to admit her due to her deteriorating condition. Along with Shevale, police also arrested a relative and the driver of the autorickshaw used to transport Yashoda to the dumping site.
On June 22, around 8 am, police received an alert about an elderly woman lying in a garbage heap near Unit 32 in Aarey Colony, Goregaon. The woman was found in a severely injured and distressed state, with visible symptoms of a serious skin condition. She identified herself as Yashoda Gaikwad and informed authorities that her grandson had abandoned her earlier that morning.
Following this, the Aarey Police registered an FIR against Sagar Shevale under Section 24 of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act and Section 125 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Shevale initially denied the allegations, claiming that Yashoda had left home while the family was out and he had no knowledge of her whereabouts. However, police dismissed this version, citing the implausibility of a seriously ill woman walking all the way from Kandivali to Aarey.
CCTV Footage Shows Shevale Accompanying Grandmother
To ascertain the facts, police reviewed CCTV footage from the area, which reportedly showed Shevale accompanying his grandmother toward the location where she was later found. Based on the evidence, authorities moved to arrest him, along with others involved in the act.
Yashoda Gaikwad was rushed to Cooper Hospital, where she is currently receiving treatment and remains under medical supervision. The Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission has demanded a comprehensive report from both police and civic authorities. Meanwhile, several NGOs have come forward, offering assistance and care for the elderly woman during her recovery.
