Navi Mumbai Shocker: Woman Abandons 15-Day-Old Baby With Commuters On CSMT–Panvel Local At Seawoods Station; Police Launch Search

Navi Mumbai: On Monday afternoon, a woman abandoned her 15-day-old baby with a commuter in a CSMT-Panvel local train, fleeing under the pretext of being unable to get down with her luggage. The incident occurred at Seawoods railway station on the Harbour line. Vashi Railway Police have registered a case against the unidentified woman and have launched a search to trace her.
Divya Naidu (19), a Mumbai resident, boarded the local train from CSMT to Juinagar around 11 am along with her friend Bhoomika Mane. Around 12 pm, as the train passed Sanpada station, the two friends moved towards the door to get down at Juinagar. In the same compartment, there was an unknown woman aged between 30 to 35, seated with three bags and holding a baby.
The woman told Naidu and Mane that she would be getting off at Seawoods station but due to her luggage, she would not be able to get down with the baby on her own. She requested their help to accompany her till Seawoods.
Wanting to help, they both agreed and got off at Seawoods with the baby. However, to their shock, the woman did not get down and remained on the train, looking at them as it moved ahead. Hoping she would return, the two young women waited at the station for a long time, but when the woman did not come back, they took the baby to Mane’s house in Juinagar and took care of it.
Later, acting on the advice of their family members, they approached Vashi Railway Police and reported the incident.
Based on their complaint, a case has been registered under Section 93 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) against the unknown woman for abandoning the infant. Senior Police Inspector Kiran Undre of Vashi Railway Police Station confirmed the registration of the case and said that CCTV footage is being reviewed to identify and trace the woman.
The baby has been admitted to a hospital’s intensive care unit for observation. Inspector Undre also appealed to the public to come forward with any information about the woman who abandoned the baby. “As per the footage, the lady got down at Khandeshwar and we are investigating further,” Undre said.

Maharashtra Urdu Academy should be formed, funds and staff should be appointed for the promotion of Urdu language Abu Asim Azmi

Mumbai: Mumbai Maharashtra Legislative Assembly member Abu Asim Azmi has demanded the immediate formation of Urdu Academy to promote Urdu. He said that academies of other languages including Gujarati and Marathi are active, but the condition of Urdu Academy is pathetic. Earlier there were 25 employees in this academy, but now only the superintendent is left. The remaining 24 have retired. The government needs to pay attention to the plight of Urdu.
The formation of this academy will promote Urdu. Azmi demanded that the Urdu Academy is facing difficulties due to the provision of funds. He said that the government allocates Rs 1 crore on paper, but this fund is not provided. Abu Asim Azmi said that Urdu is the language of our country. Whenever the Chief Minister or any other minister speaks in the House, they resort to Urdu poetry. But when it comes to the establishment of Urdu Academy and the development of Urdu language, the government is doing injustice

Mumbai: On the third day of Maharashtra Assembly in Mumbai, the opposition accused the ruling party of corruption and protested on the stairs of Vidhan Bhavan, accusing the government of giving contracts to every company of its choice.

Many shortcomings have been found in the work of this company, but despite this it is dear to the government. Therefore, slogans were raised on the stairs of Vidhan Bhavan that giving contract to this company is condemnable. Opposition members were also holding banner posters of contractor Megha Engineering, in which the picture of the owner of Megha Company was also visible.

Mumbai School Teacher Arrested Under POSCO Act For Sexually Assaulting Minor Student Multiple Times Over One Year

Mumbai: A horrifying case has come forward from a well-known Mumbai school where a 40-year-old English teacher from a renowned Mumbai school was arrested under the POCSO Act for allegedly sexually assaulting a 16-year-old student multiple times over a year.
The attacks began after the teacher developed an attraction to the boy while organising dance groups for the school’s annual function in December 2023. Initial advances made in January 2024 were rebuffed by the student, prompting the teacher to enlist a friend to persuade him, claiming such relationships were common. Following this, the teacher picked the boy up, took him to a secluded location, and assaulted him.
According to a report by media, in the ensuing weeks, the teacher provided the student with anti-anxiety medication and arranged outings to luxury hotels, where they had several sexual encounters, often intoxicating him beforehand. The teacher’s arrest has shocked the school community.
The student’s behavioral changes raised concerns with his family, but they decided against reporting the incidents, hoping it would resolve on its own as he neared graduation. After leaving school earlier this year, the student fell into depression, and the situation escalated when the teacher attempted to contact him through the domestic staff. This prompted the family to file a complaint with the police.
Authorities have charged the teacher with penetrative sexual assault and related offenses under the POCSO Act and other relevant laws. The case underscores serious issues concerning student abuse within educational institutions. The teacher has been remanded in police custody until Wednesday, as investigations continue into this disturbing incident involving a minor.

In another incident a mathematics teacher in Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh was arrested for allegedly sexually harassing 24 girl students in classes VIII to X last week. Complaints to the principal led to the teacher’s suspension and subsequent police custody. The Director of School Education initiated an inquiry due to the seriousness of the situation, tasking the Deputy Director of Elementary Education with gathering information promptly. The teacher now faces charges under Section 75 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and POCSO provisions, reflecting the education department’s urgency in addressing these allegations.
