Mira Road Murder: Husband Slits Wife's Throat In Broad Daylight Minutes After She Leaves Naya Nagar Police Station

Mira Bhayandar: In a horrifying incident, a woman was brutally murdered in broad daylight by her husband, minutes after she left the Naya Nagar police station in Mira Road on Friday afternoon. The accused has been arrested and booked for murder.

According to the police, the deceased who has been identified as Amreen Nadeem Khan was entangled in a marital dispute with her husband Nadeem Ahmed Khan. The dispute between the estranged couple was regarding domestic violence and custody of their two-year-old son.

About The Dispute

Amreen who was staying away from her husband had moved the district sessions court, Thane under the relevant sections of the Guardians and Wards Act, 1980 seeking custody of her minor son as a natural guardian. Considering the aspect of better company and care, the district judge in his order had awarded custody of the child to the mother, while directing the police to provide adequate protection to ensure that no obstacles are created by the opposite party in the handover process. Amreen had gone to the police station on Friday seeking intervention.

“I noticed the woman sitting in the waiting area awaiting her turn to meet the senior police officer. When enquired she narrated her ordeal following which I assured to help her out. However, when I came back she had already left. A few minutes later I learnt that a woman was brutally attacked near the N.H.High School. And to my shock and disbelief, the victim turned out to be Amreen. Had the police shown some sensitivity in the matter, the gruesome incident could have been averted,” alleged social activist Dr. Suresh Yewle. 

Prakash Gaikwad, DCP (Zone-1) Refutes The Allegations

Refuting the allegation as vague and baseless, DCP (Zone I)-Prakash Gaikwad said, “After receiving the order, we promptly provided police protection to the woman to get custody of the child. Our team had gone to their apartment on Thursday. However, neither he nor the child were present at home, so our team had to return empty-handed.”

After leaving the police station, the woman had apparently gone to meet her elder daughter at the nearby N.H. High School, where the accused accosted her, stabbed and slit her throat with a knife.” While the woman succumbed to her injuries, Nadeem who was caught by locals and handed over to the police later claimed that his family including the child had gone to Ajmer.  With no remorse for his gruesome act, Nadeem has confessed to the crime. 

Further investigations were underway.

After ED, CBI raids premises linked to Anil Ambani in Rs 2,000 crore bank fraud case

Published

on

Mumbai, Aug 23: Days after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned businessman Anil Ambani in a money laundering case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Saturday raided premises linked to Reliance Communications (RCOM) and its Promoter Director.

The raids, conducted at multiple places in Mumbai, were in connection with an alleged fraud that caused a loss of over Rs 2,000 crore to the State Bank of India (SBI), according to sources.

The SBI classified RCOM and 66-year-old Ambani as “fraud” on June 13 in accordance with the Reserve Bank of India’s Master Directions on Fraud Risk Management and the Bank’s Board-approved Policy on Classification, Reporting & Management of Frauds.

In its letter to RCom, SBI said it found deviation in the utilisation of loans, involving a complex web of fund movements across multiple group entities.

“We have taken cognisance of the responses to our show-cause notice and after due examination of the same, it is concluded that sufficient reasons have not been provided by the respondent, to explain the non-adherence to the agreed terms and conditions of the loan documents or the irregularities observed in the conduct of the account of RCL to the satisfaction of the bank,” the bank said.

As per RBI guidelines, after a bank classifies an account as “fraud”, the lender should then report it to the RBI within 21 days of detection and also report the case to the CBI or police.

Earlier this month, Anil Ambani faced a gruelling nine-hour interrogation at the ED headquarters in the national capital regarding an alleged Rs 17,000-crore loan fraud case.

The regulator was set to call Anil Ambani again for questioning in a couple of days, according to sources.

Reliance Group Chairman had reportedly sought 7-10 days from the probe agency to submit documents related to the alleged scam.

According to sources, Anil Ambani sought to deny any involvement in the case, maintaining that all financial decisions were taken by the internal board of his companies, and that he only signed them.

The ED had conducted raids at locations linked to Anil Ambani’s Reliance Group. Investigators seized a large number of documents, hard drives, and other digital records from several sites in Mumbai and Delhi. The raids began as part of a money laundering investigation into the Yes Bank loan fraud case.

Sessions Court Acquits Two Men In 2018 Oval Maidan Murder Case Citing Lack Of Eyewitnesses And Motive

Published

on

Mumbai: A sessions court has acquitted Salman Shaikh, 27, and Mohammad Jahid Shaikh, 32, in the July 2018 murder case of Nasreen Shaikh, 20, at Oval Maidan, citing insufficient evidence. The court criticised the prosecution for failing to provide eyewitnesses or establish a motive, despite the incident occurring in a public space.

Two Arrested in 2018 Oval Maidan Murder Acquitted

Salman, a food delivery worker, and his friend Mohammad were arrested in July and August 2018, respectively, for the murder of Nasreen, with whom Salman was in a relationship. The prosecution alleged that the duo stabbed Nasreen multiple times at Oval Maidan on July 31, 2018, and disposed of her body and phone at the site. However, the court found the evidence lacking, leading to their acquittal.

According to the prosecution, Nasreen, a cafe worker in Colaba, left home at 8am on July 30, 2018, but did not return. Her father, Umar, contacted Salman, who had reportedly met Nasreen that day after picking her up from the café. When Nasreen remained missing, Umar attempted to file a missing person complaint on July 31, first at Mumbra police station, which redirected him to Colaba, and then to Azad Maidan police station. While walking from Colaba to Azad Maidan, Umar spotted a body in Oval Maidan’s garden, identifying it as Nasreen’s by her pink shoes. She had succumbed to multiple stab wounds, and a murder case was registered.

The prosecution claimed Salman stabbed Nasreen during an argument at Oval Maidan, motivated by her discovery of his marital status, financial disputes, and his suspicions about her. They relied on CCTV footage showing the couple together and testimonies from Nasreen’s family to establish motive. However, the court dismissed these claims, noting significant flaws.

Court Flags Delayed Statements, Doubts Motive

The court observed that statements from Nasreen’s mother and sister were recorded 15 and 18 days after the incident, respectively. “Such a delay suggests that the investigator may have summoned them later, possibly to manufacture a motive,” the court remarked. It also questioned the recovery of the alleged murder weapon, a knife, noting it was found in an open place, raising the possibility of planting.

Further, the court highlighted the absence of eyewitnesses despite Oval Maidan being a busy public space. “Perhaps there may have been eye-witnesses to the said offence, but none was found. This itself shows that no incident took place. The lack of any corroboration strongly suggests no incident occurred,” the court stated.
