Mumbai: Due to the negligence of the Mumbai Hajj Committee of India, 81 pilgrims have been deprived of the Hajj. The pilgrims are unable to leave for Hajj due to the non-issuance of visas from the Saudi Consulate. The last flight of the pilgrims also departed from Mumbai International Airport today, May 30. The passports and necessary documents of these pilgrims were collected and money was also collected from them, but now the Hajj Committee of India has promised to return this money, but due to the negligence of the Hajj Committee, the pilgrims had to be deprived of the Hajj today. Jamia Masjid Trust Trustee Shoaib Khatib said that the deprivation of the Hajj pilgrims from the Hajj is very unfortunate.

Earlier, all the documents of the pilgrims were collected, not only that, but after completing all the steps, these pilgrims were transferred from the waiting list to the general list and then these pilgrims appeared at the Mumbai Hajj Committee from other states, but the visas of these pilgrims were not issued till the last day. Behind this is the negligence and carelessness of the Hajj Committee and the administration. When an attempt was made to inquire about the Hajj pilgrims, Deputy CEO Sadaqat did not receive the mobile phone nor did he issue any explanatory statement in this regard. The pilgrims who have been deprived of the Hajj Saadat Hajj have been kept on the second floor of the Hajj Committee of India. When the representative of the Hajj Committee went to meet them, the Hajj Committee and security staff stopped them and said that now a permit is required to enter the Hajj Committee. These pilgrims have also been intimidated to avoid making statements in the media, which is why the pilgrims have expressed their inability to talk to the media or the representative.

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The police at City Chowk have filed a case against a man whose 14-year-old son collided a car into two motorcycles, resulting in injuries to two individuals. The event that took place on May 27 drew police’s notice after a video became viral. The police launched an investigation on their own accord and determined the car owner’s identity through the vehicle registration number.

As per sub-inspector Bhagwat Muthal from the City Chowk police station, after the accident, a 40-year-old man broke his leg, and a 56-year-old man sustained slight injuries.

The event took place close to the Vidya Alankar School, in the N-12 region, at approximately 4:56 PM on May 27. The underage motorist was operating a hatchback when he lost control and crashed into the motorcycles. “Afterward, he escaped the location without helping the hurt individuals,” Muthal mentioned.

On Wednesday evening, the City Chowk police lodged complaints under BNS sections 281 (careless or negligent driving), 125 (actions that recklessly or negligently threaten human life or the safety of others), and relevant sections of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988

“We called the boy’s father to the police station and provided a notice according to BNS regulations.” He works as a helper to a certified accountant. “We have not yet questioned the teenager,” Muthal continued.

The video captures an unidentified individual sitting next to the teen driver. Police officers verified they would determine this individual’s identity throughout their inquiry.
