The body of 33-year-old Navy officer Surajsingh Amarpalsingh Chauhan, who had been missing since September 7 after setting out on the Bhivpuri–Garbett trek near Matheran, was recovered on Monday.

Neral police confirmed that the body was spotted in the forested area near the Pali Bhootwali dam, between Karjat and Neral, around the Satoba temple belt. The body was found about 50 feet deep in a gorge behind the temple. Acting under the guidance of Assistant Police Inspector Shivaji Dhavale, Neral police along with the Sahyadri Rescue team retrieved the body after a challenging operation through dense terrain. Originally from Rajasthan, he had joined Colaba office on May 27.

Police have registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) in the matter and sent the body to JJ Hospital, Mumbai, for postmortem to ascertain the exact cause of death. “Either he would have slipped and fallen or even a snake bite could been the reason. Only postmortem will ascertain the cause,” Dhavale added.

Chauhan, who was serving as Master Chief, Class II at the FTTT Dockyard in Colaba, Mumbai, had taken a train from CST to Bhivpuri early on September 7 before heading towards the Garbett trekking trail. His last phone location was tracked near Dhom Dam that morning, after which his phone went switched off. 

Since then, the Indian Navy, Maharashtra Mountaineer’s Rescue Coordination Center (MMRCC), forest officials, and police had been conducting extensive search operations with the aid of drones. His family members had also joined the rescue efforts.

The missing person’s complaint was registered with Cuffe Parade police. “There is no foul play suspected as in the CCTV footage he is seen going alone for the trek,” the officer added.

Mumbai: The Mumbai-Delhi High Court has strongly criticized Red Chillies Entertainment Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan and others in the defamation case against NCB Zonal Director IRS officer Sameer Wankhede and said that artistic freedom does not mean mocking a person. After this, the High Court has ordered that the controversial footage related to Sameer Wankhede be removed from the controversial Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood. Sameer Wankhede had filed a petition in the High Court and pleaded that his character has been killed in The Bads of Bollywood and this series has been made to target him. The purpose is to humiliate and mock Sameer Wankhede. After watching some parts of this series, the High Court has ordered the removal of the controversial parts from the film.

Sameer Wankhede’s lawyer had told the court that the character portrayed in the film is a comparison to Sameer Wankhede and that this series has been created with the intention of tarnishing Wankhede’s image. The Bads of Bollywood is malicious, therefore, the above-mentioned controversial scenes and objectionable dialogues should be deleted from the series, on which the court has issued an order to delete the controversial and objectionable content and content. Earlier, while hearing Sameer Wankhede’s petition, the court had sent notices to Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies, Netflix, Meta, and social media platforms and directed them to file a response. To this, Red Chillies had called the film and series a drama and made it clear that it had nothing to do with the facts. However, despite this, the Delhi High Court inquired whether a film drama does not mean that someone’s character is killed and said this, it reprimanded Shah Rukh Khan and the film company. Sameer Wankhede tried to prove through his argument that the character portrayed in the film resembles Sameer Wankhede and that this character has been portrayed in a negative way to target him and in this, an attempt has been made to make fun of Sameer Wankhede through this character, which has humiliated Wankhede, which the court has accepted and issued a directive to delete the objectionable and controversial content. This is a big success for Sameer Wankhede, while Shah Rukh Khan has suffered a huge setback.
