Mumbai: An incident has come to light in which a man allegedly uploaded his wife’s objectionable photos on social media after she filed an application for divorce over his alleged extramarital affairs.

The 31-year-old victim, originally from Rajasthan and currently residing in Malad East, is preparing for the UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) examination. Her husband, also 31, works as a senior section engineer with Western Railway, with his office located at Khar Road in Bandra East. After their marriage on November 25, 2020, the couple began living in Goregaon West.

According to the FIR, soon after the marriage, the complainant discovered that her husband was involved in an extramarital affair, which led to frequent arguments between them. Following repeated altercations, she moved to her parents’ house on August 23, 2024. Subsequently, the accused allegedly visited her parental home, verbally abused her, threatened to commit suicide, and warned that he would implicate her and her family in false cases.

Thereafter, the complainant started living separately. The accused allegedly gained access to her Instagram account, changed her profile details, and began chatting with her friends while impersonating her. When she objected, he allegedly threatened to defame her.

Police said that the accused’s behaviour became more aggressive after she filed for divorce at the Bandra family court in June 2025. On January 15, 2026, he allegedly altered her Instagram profile and uploaded objectionable photos and posts from her account. He also allegedly threatened her over the phone, stating that if she proceeded with the divorce, he would ruin her life and kill her.

Again, on March 18, 2026, the accused allegedly uploaded her private photos with a ‘one-time view’ caption and later deleted them. However, the complainant managed to view the content using another mobile phone.

It is further alleged that the accused defamed the woman by making the photos viral on Instagram. The complaint also states that he sent abusive voice messages to her female friend and her friend’s husband, defaming the complainant’s character.

Based on her complaint, the Dindoshi police registered an FIR against the accused on March 21 under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including Sections 351(2), 352, and 356, along with Sections 66C, 66E, and 67A of the Information Technology Act.

Mumbai: A 16-year-old boy was allegedly killed by one of his friends in Santacruz West on Sunday. Police said that an altercation broke out between the deceased and his friends, during which a person from another group stabbed him with a knife. The deceased has been identified as Prem Harijan, who had recently appeared for his Class 10 examinations. The accused, identified as Faizan, was arrested and has been sent to juvenile custody, police said.

According to the police, Prem was a resident of Santacruz West, while the accused Faizan resides in Khar Danda. The incident occurred at around 8:15 pm near Harba Mauli Bridge in Juhu Koliwada, Santacruz West. The accused allegedly stabbed Prem on the left side of his chest.

Additionally, the accused attacked Prem’s friend, Harsh Jha, who sustained injuries to the left side of his waist and the back of his left thigh. Police said the accused also attempted to kill Jha.

Prem’s father, Omprakash Harijan, 42, who works as a cleaning staff member, filed a complaint. Based on his complaint, the police on Monday registered a case of murder and attempted murder against Faizan, who is a labourer.

Police said that one of the deceased’s friends had informed him about a dispute with another group. Prem then went with his friend to meet the group from Khar Danda, where a physical fight broke out between them. When local residents intervened and asked them to leave the area, Prem and his friends moved towards a nearby bridge, where Faizan allegedly attacked him.

Prem was rushed to Bhabha Hospital in Bandra West, where doctors declared him dead during treatment.

Mumbai, March 23: Indian agencies have traced Olena Stoian, a Ukrainian national and a prime accused in the Torres jewellery fraud case, to the Republic of Moldova. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday approached the special PMLA court for the necessary attestation of documents to prepare an extradition dossier for Stoian.

ED probe into Rs 177.11 crore fraud

The ED is probing money laundering to the tune of Rs 177.11 crore, where thousands of investors were allegedly cheated. The agency claimed Stoian, along with Oleksandr Zapichenko, alias Alex, and Viktoria Kovalenko, director of Platinum Hern Pvt Ltd (PHPL), were the key architects of the laundering operations.

In November last year, the ED obtained non-bailable warrants against Stoian, Alex, Kovalenko, and Sagar Mehta, a Mumbai resident alleged to have fled the country.

Court proceedings and investigation details

The special court issued proceedings against these four accused and eight others following a prosecution complaint in early 2025. Investigations revealed that PHPL-Torres Jewelry lured investors into a fraudulent scheme promising exaggerated weekly returns of 2% to 9% on gold and diamond jewellery. The company enticed customers with investment bonuses of 20% for new referrals, creating a chain-like system.

Fraudulent practices uncovered

According to the ED, showrooms conducted seminars and lucky draws for luxury cars to create an impression of legitimacy. In reality, the company marketed cheap synthetic moissanite stones as high-value diamonds. The agency stated that the proceeds of crime currently stand at Rs 177.11 crore.
