Not allowed to sell property, man kills mother in Delhi

Published

on

A woman was killed by her 29-year-old son after she did not allow him to sell the property in north Delhi, police said on Wednesday, adding that they have nabbed the accused.

The accused was identified as Deepak. The incident came to light on Tuesday morning when the police control room (PCR) received a distress call at 9:48 a.m., reporting a murder at Shora Kothi, Ghantaghar Subzi Mandi. The caller was none other than the deceased’s daughter, Charu.

Upon arriving at the scene, a police team discovered the lifeless body of the victim, Indu, lying in one of the bedrooms. Charu informed the police that her brother, Deepak, had killed their mother and had already fled the scene when she made the PCR call.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (North), Sagar Singh Kalsi, revealed that to prevent Deepak’s escape, the teams quickly cordoned off the surrounding streets.

“Investigations revealed that the deceased had been living with her son, Deepak, who had a history of physically abusing her on a daily basis. The accused was known to be a habitual drunkard and unemployed, making matters worse,” said the DCP.

The crime scene examination indicated that Indu had sustained multiple injuries to her face, neck, and hand. “It was evident that her body had been dragged from one room to another. The police called in the Crime Team and Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) to gather evidence, and they managed to seize blood-stained clothes from the premises,” said the DCP.

In her statement to the police, Charu explained that Deepak had been married a few years ago but his wife had left him after enduring months of merciless beatings. She further revealed that Deepak had a history of violent behaviour, having also assaulted their elder brother, Mohit, who had tragically passed away a few years back.

Deepak, without any legitimate source of income, led an extravagant lifestyle. Earlier this year, he had sold a house that belonged to their mother, using the money to buy luxury items such as a large-screen television and a car, which he barely drove.

According to Charu’s statement, Deepak had now set his sights on selling the property at Shora Kothi, Ghantaghar, to fund his drinking habits and move to a different residence. However, Indu firmly opposed the idea of selling their family home, leading to a confrontation that turned deadly.

During the investigation, the police conducted a thorough search of the Shora Kothi area, eventually apprehending Deepak from a hiding spot under an unused cot in one of the buildings in the locality.

In his confession, Deepak revealed that on Monday night at approximately 8:30 p.m., he and his mother were in the same bedroom when she asked him to turn off the air conditioner. Enraged by a phone call with his sister Charu, during which his mother complained about his abusive behaviour, Deepak attacked her with a sharp-edged danda (stick), causing severe injuries to her head, face, neck, and hand, rendering her unconscious.

He then moved her to another room, leaving her on the floor, and informed Charu through a video call that their mother was unconscious. “Deepak admitted that he knew she was already dead, but Charu did not suspect it since their mother had lost consciousness in the past after his beatings,” said the DCP.

Deepak, intoxicated from alcohol, planned to flee after a few hours of rest, assuming that Charu would not visit during the night. However, he overslept and was only awakened when both of his sisters arrived at his door, ultimately leading to his arrest.

Maharashtra, Mysuru Police Bust MDMA Factory On Ring Road; ₹100 Crore Drugs Seized, Four Held

Published

Bengaluru: In a joint operation, the Maharashtra police and Mysuru police have raided a narcotics manufacturing factory on the outer ring road of Mysuiru and seized 13 kg of MDMA and 37 kg of liquid being used to manufacture MDMA, all worth over Rs 100 crore in the international market.

Interestingly, the narcotics manufactured here were being supplied to Maharashtra and the raiding police squad have arrested four persons in this connection. The Mysuru city Commissioner has suspended the Narasimharaja police station inspector Lakshmikanth Talawar for dereliction of duty, under whose jurisdiction the factory comes.

Recently, a drug peddler who was arrested by the Maharashtra police had confessed that he was procuring drugs from Mysuru. He had told the police that a large quantity of the MDMA was stored in Mysuru either in the form of powder or pills and was being supplied to Maharashtra.

Based on the information, the Maharashtra police approached the Mysuru City Police Commissioner Seema Latkar, who organised the raid. In the early hours on Sunday, the police team raided an old garage near Belavattha in the outer ring road. Among the four arrested, two are from Mysuru and the other two are outsiders. The police have refused to divulge any details of the arrested, as it would hamper the future investigations.

Reacting to the drug factory in Mysuru, Karnataka Home Minister Dr G Parameshwar said that it was a disturbing development, as Mysuru was a quiet place without much such activities.

“Now we have unearthed the factory, we are taking strict action against such activities. Even our police are investigating various angles of the incident,” he added.

Mumbai: 11 Months On, No Action Against Cops Who Planted Drugs On Innocent Man In Kalina

Published

on

Mumbai: There has been no significant progress in the drug planting incident in Kalina involving four police personnel, even after almost 11 months.

The Vakola police have neither taken any action against the four accused police personnel, nor have they filed the chargesheet or properly recorded eyewitness statements. They have also not added additional NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) sections to the case, applying only bailable sections instead. As a result, the accused were granted anticipatory bail.

About The Case

On August 30, 2024, four policemen allegedly planted drugs in the pocket of 31-year-old Dylan Estbeiro, an innocent man working at a livestock farm in Kalina, Santacruz East. The entire incident was captured on CCTV, exposing the four police personnel.

The incident dates back to August 30, 2024, when PSI Vishwanath Omble and three constables – Imran Shaikh, Sagar Kamble, and Yogendra Shinde (also known as Dabang Shinde) – in plain clothes from the Khar police station visited Shahbaz Khan’s livestock farm in Kalina, Santacruz East, where Dylan Estbeiro was working. They allegedly frisked Dylan and planted 20 grams of mephedrone in his pocket during a staged search, later accusing him of drug possession.

The entire incident was captured on CCTV, which was later reviewed and shared publicly by Shahbaz Khan. Following the release of the footage, Dylan was released by the Khar police. The video sparked public outrage, prompting then-Deputy Commissioner Raj Tilak Roushan to suspend all four officers on August 31. Nearly three and a half months after the incident, the case was filed under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

Mumbai Crime News: Father, Brother-in-Law Booked Under POCSO For Sexually Assaulting Minor Girl; One Arrested

Published

on

The Sewree Police have registered a case against the victim’s father and brother-in-law under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) and rape charges for sexually abusing a minor girl. While the police have arrested the brother-in-law, the father remains absconding after the case was filed. Authorities are conducting a search for the accused.

The victim, a 16-year-old girl, alleged in her complaint that in April 2024, her father covered her face with a cloth while she was sleeping at home and sexually assaulted her. He also threatened to kill her mother if she disclosed the incident, leaving the victim too terrified to speak out. Later, in March (year unclear—needs verification), when the girl was alone at home, the accused allegedly molested her again.

After the victim recently approached the police, a case was filed under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for rape and the POCSO Act. The brother-in-law has been arrested, while the father is still at large.
