Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi has made a serious allegation in the Assembly and demanded strict action against BJP leader Kirit Somaiya. He said that BJP leaders are targeting Muslim-majority areas due to their hateful agenda, due to which the certificates of 355 children in Malegaon have been cancelled. Malegaon Corporation has examined 3,411 certificates, in which the certificates of 355 children have been cancelled. These children are between the ages of 5 and 7. In such a situation, it is difficult for these children to get admission in school and their future is in danger of being bleak. He said that BJP leaders are creating an atmosphere of hatred in the name of Bangladeshi Rohingyas, while there is nothing like that. An SIT was formed in Malegaon on this issue and an investigation was started, but so far the SIT has not submitted a report. This report should be made public soon. BJP leader Kirit Somaiya is targeting Malegaon in his hateful politics. Just because it is a Muslim majority area, Malegaon is being called a hub for terrorists and Rohingya Bangladeshi infiltrators. How have the hate-based politicians forgotten that Malegaon is a historic city of martyrs? The issuance of birth certificates of children has been stopped, which deprives the child of admission in schools. Birth certificates issued earlier are also being cancelled. If an SIT has been conducted to investigate these allegations, the information should be made public and action should be taken against those found guilty. However, it is not right to withhold birth certificates from everyone and impose a ban on correction of names. Azmi has also demanded action against Kirit Somaiya on this issue. He also accused Kirit Somaiya of pressurizing government officials.

In a significant development in Mumbai, the police have registered a criminal case against several doctors nearly 12 years after the death of a young man who was injured in a road accident.

According to the police, the doctors have been accused of medical negligence, delay in treatment, and allegedly destroying crucial medical records. Among the accused are multiple doctors, including Dr. Khalid from Sai Group of Hospitals.

As per the FIR, the complainant, 57-year-old Naseem Bano Babar Shah, alleged that her son, Salman Babar Shah, who worked as a junior artist in the film and television industry, died on April 8, 2014, due to alleged medical negligence following a road accident.

Reports state that Salman was returning from a television shoot when his motorcycle was hit by a pickup vehicle on the Ahmedabad Highway near Vasai. He sustained a severe fracture in his right thigh and was initially taken to a nearby hospital, before being shifted to Millennium Hospital in Shivaji Nagar.

The complaint highlights several irregularities during treatment. It alleges that the hospital insisted on a deposit of ₹25,000 before performing surgery. It is further claimed that the surgery was conducted by Dr. Umesh Pample resulted in excessive blood loss, and that adequate post-operative care and monitoring were not provided. According to the family, the patient’s condition continued to deteriorate instead of improving.

A few days later, doctors at Millennium Hospital reportedly informed the family that blood transfusion facilities were unavailable and advised transferring Salman to Sai Group of Hospitals in Chembur. He was transported by ambulance and admitted under the supervision of Dr. Amit Shobhut.

At Sai Hospital, Salman’s condition worsened further. He reportedly developed serious complications, including fluid accumulation in the chest and signs of kidney failure. He was eventually placed on a ventilator, but could not be saved.

Police have initiated further investigation into the matter, and verification of documents and evidence is currently underway.

Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi has demanded in the Assembly that the Shia community be given one acre of land near the bus depot for the funeral of the deceased during Muharram. The Sunni community has been given land but the Shia community is deprived of it till now, so they should be given one acre of land before Muharram. He said that a large number of Shia community lives in Mumbai’s Mankhod Shivaji Nagar. There is no land available for this community to bury their dead during Muharram. There is 7 acres of vacant land near the Shivaji Nagar bus depot. Two meetings have been held with the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Commissioner regarding this issue. Azmi said that the government has been requested to allocate one acre of this land for the funeral of the deceased and has demanded immediate action.
