Kurla Bus Tragedy: 20-Year-Old Woman Crushed To Death Returning Home After First Day At Work; Father Blames BMC, Hawkers & Traffic Police

SOURCE: FPJ
Mumbai: The tragic accident that occurred in Mumbai’s Kurla on Monday night around 9:30 PM has left lasting memories for the families of the victims. One of the deceased individuals was a 20-year-old girl identified as Afreen Shah who left her house in the morning for her first day at job. When she stepped out of her home, filled with hope and excitement for her first day at the new job, her father couldn’t have imagined it would be the last time he would see her alive.
Tragically, Afreen became one of the seven victims whose lives were cut short when a speeding BEST air-conditioned electric bus, operating on Route No. A-332, mowed down pedestrians and many vehicles on SG Barve Road in Kurla (West).
Afreen’s father Abdul Salim Shah recounted their last conversation and said that he last spoke to his daughter when she called him complaining that she is struggling to find an auto at Kurla Railway Station while she was returning home after completing her first day at work.
Shah said that he asked her to take the auto from the highway, which falls on a different route where the accident occurred. This was reportedly the last conversation between the girl and her father.
Afreen did not follow her father’s advise to take a different route. Her father believes that if she had taken the alternate route, she might still be alive.
Salim Shah in an interview to a YouTube channel said that he got a call from the Kurla Bhabha Hospital claiming that they have found the mobile phone of his daughter and asked him to come to the hospital immediately.
When he reached the hospital he found the dead body of his daughter. Afreen, his only daughter among three children, had been crushed to death in the tragic incident. Shah painfully disclosed that he had been planning her wedding in the next five to six months.
Shah blamed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), illegal hawkers on the side of the roads, traffic police, corporator, MLA and MP for the accident. He said that the situation has not changed in so many years, people are struggling to even walk on the congested roads encroached upon by these illegal hawkers.
He also said that these hawkers bribe the officials and carry on with their businesses in the area. He demanded strict action against the accused and also urged the government to take measures to curb such incidents in the future.
The accident claimed the lives of seven persons and 42 sustained serious injuries. They were rushed to various hospitals after they suffered severe injuries in the bus accident. The police have arrested the bus driver and the court has sent him to police custody till December 21. BEST has setup a committee to probe the bus accident.

Police alert for peaceful Eid-ul-Azha in Maharashtra

Mumbai: Eid-ul-Azha was celebrated peacefully in Mumbai and all of Maharashtra. In Thane, miscreants tried to spoil the atmosphere on Eid-ul-Azha, which was foiled by the police. The police have also taken action against such elements spreading poison on social media. Along with this, peaceful namaz was also offered at the Idgah located at Dogadi Fort in Kalyan. An attempt was also made to ring the bell in the temple located in Fort and at the right time of Namaz, Shiv Sena and Shinde workers gathered and rang the bell, due to which the police took them into custody and prevented the atmosphere from getting spoiled. Police Commissioner Ashutosh Dumbare had made tight security arrangements in sensitive areas like Mumbra, Bhiwandi Police Station, Rabodi Kalyan and Ulhasnagar. In Mumbai too, the police was alert and prepared in the backdrop of Eid-ul-Azha and Qurbani.
Due to the dispute over Qurbani in housing societies, the police had made tight arrangements in such societies where problems had arisen earlier. Along with this, BMC allowed sacrifice in many societies and temporary altars for sacrifice. Muslims performed the ritual of sacrifice with Abrahamic zeal. Apart from this, police guard was also kept on Eidgahs and mosques in Mumbai. Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti reviewed the situation. According to this, the arrangements in Mumbai were completed. Mumbai Police also kept an eye on the miscreants and monitored social media.
Along with this, Eid-ul-Azha was celebrated peacefully in various districts of Maharashtra, Malegaon, Aurangabad, Beed, Osmanabad, Amravati and all over Maharashtra. No untoward incident was reported from anywhere. Police sources have claimed that Eid was celebrated in a peaceful atmosphere and orders for action against the miscreants were also issued, after which sacrifice was done and the splendor of sacrifice was seen everywhere in Muslim localities.

ED took action on 15 places including Mithi river, cleanliness, irregularities, Dino Morea

Dino Morea ED
Mumbai: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has raided 15 places including Mumbai in the irregularities case in the cleaning of the Mithi river. The Enforcement Directorate has also claimed to have seized many important documents related to the case while conducting raids in Mumbai and Kochi. The ED has also raided the house of film actor Dino Maurya. The EOW has registered the first FIR in this case, after which the Enforcement Directorate has now started a parallel investigation. The ED has taken this action under the PMLA Money Laundering Act. Dino Maurya has also been involved in this irregularity. The EOW has also questioned him and his brother.
It is said that Dino Maurya and Ketan are close to Shiv Sena leader Aditya Thackeray. Now Dino’s troubles have increased. The EOW has found many important documents and evidence in the Mithi river corruption and irregularities case in Mumbai, so now the ED has also started its action in the case of misuse of funding and illegal tender purchase in this case. Many Shiv Sena leaders are also in the ambit of ED action, because during the Mithi river corruption scam, Shiv Sena was ruling the BMC, so the scope of investigation has become focused on Shiv Sena leaders. EOW has also made significant progress in its action in the Mithi river corruption case in Mumbai. More revelations are expected after the arrival of ED in this case. EOW has taken action against 13 people in this case so far and has also arrested them. In this, political leaders including BMC officials are also on the radar of ED.

Mumbai: MLA and SP leader Abu Asim Azmi appeals to avoid sacrificing animals in the open on Eid-ul-Azha

Mumbai: Mumbai Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi has appealed to Muslims not to perform Qurbani in the open and also follow BMC and government guidelines. Cleanliness is half of faith, so take special care of cleanliness. Not only this, it is mandatory to follow all the guidelines and guiding principles set regarding Qurbani. Take special care of cleanliness and ensure that the brothers and sisters of the country do not face any kind of trouble on Eid-ul-Azha. This is the real teaching of Islam. Celebrate Eid with mutual love, brotherhood and following Sunnat Ibrahimi. Azmi said that the waste of Qurbani on Eid should also be kept in bags and thrown in the dustbin.
