Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi has made a serious allegation in the Assembly and demanded strict action against BJP leader Kirit Somaiya. He said that BJP leaders are targeting Muslim-majority areas due to their hateful agenda, due to which the certificates of 355 children in Malegaon have been cancelled. Malegaon Corporation has examined 3,411 certificates, in which the certificates of 355 children have been cancelled. These children are between the ages of 5 and 7. In such a situation, it is difficult for these children to get admission in school and their future is in danger of being bleak. He said that BJP leaders are creating an atmosphere of hatred in the name of Bangladeshi Rohingyas, while there is nothing like that. An SIT was formed in Malegaon on this issue and an investigation was started, but so far the SIT has not submitted a report. This report should be made public soon. BJP leader Kirit Somaiya is targeting Malegaon in his hateful politics. Just because it is a Muslim majority area, Malegaon is being called a hub for terrorists and Rohingya Bangladeshi infiltrators. How have the hate-based politicians forgotten that Malegaon is a historic city of martyrs? The issuance of birth certificates of children has been stopped, which deprives the child of admission in schools. Birth certificates issued earlier are also being cancelled. If an SIT has been conducted to investigate these allegations, the information should be made public and action should be taken against those found guilty. However, it is not right to withhold birth certificates from everyone and impose a ban on correction of names. Azmi has also demanded action against Kirit Somaiya on this issue. He also accused Kirit Somaiya of pressurizing government officials.

A Mumbai resident’s unsettling experience on a highway near Lonavala has gone viral after he shared details of the incident on Reddit, raising concerns about possible impersonation by recovery agents and road safety risks.

The user stated that he had purchased a second hand 2017 Hyundai Verna in November 2025 through a dealership in Goregaon. The vehicle, registered under MH12, was bought for ₹5 lakh and officially transferred to his name at the Mumbai RTO in December 2025.

On 21 March, the user, who described himself as a new driver, was travelling towards Lonavala when he noticed two men following his car for a few kilometres.

The situation escalated when the men stopped his vehicle under a flyover on a relatively deserted road towards Pune. They allegedly asked him to roll down the windows and claimed that the car carried an outstanding loan of ₹10 lakh from a bank, demanding cooperation.

The driver, however, remained cautious and only partially lowered his window. He maintained that the car was legally registered in his name and suggested they contact the original owner if there were any concerns.

Sensing danger, the driver immediately contacted the police. After a brief exchange lasting around ten minutes, the men reportedly changed their tone and left the spot once they realised that authorities had been alerted. Before leaving, they questioned how the car had been transferred without a no objection certificate.

Upon returning home, the user checked the vehicle’s history and found that the loan taken in 2018 had been closed within the same year, with hypothecation removed. This contradicted the claims made by the unidentified men, making the incident appear suspicious.

The post triggered strong reactions online, with many users warning against stopping in such situations. Several advised drivers to head directly to the nearest police station and avoid engaging with unknown individuals on isolated roads, highlighting concerns over safety and potential scams.

In a significant development in Mumbai, the police have registered a criminal case against several doctors nearly 12 years after the death of a young man who was injured in a road accident.

According to the police, the doctors have been accused of medical negligence, delay in treatment, and allegedly destroying crucial medical records. Among the accused are multiple doctors, including Dr. Khalid from Sai Group of Hospitals.

As per the FIR, the complainant, 57-year-old Naseem Bano Babar Shah, alleged that her son, Salman Babar Shah, who worked as a junior artist in the film and television industry, died on April 8, 2014, due to alleged medical negligence following a road accident.

Reports state that Salman was returning from a television shoot when his motorcycle was hit by a pickup vehicle on the Ahmedabad Highway near Vasai. He sustained a severe fracture in his right thigh and was initially taken to a nearby hospital, before being shifted to Millennium Hospital in Shivaji Nagar.

The complaint highlights several irregularities during treatment. It alleges that the hospital insisted on a deposit of ₹25,000 before performing surgery. It is further claimed that the surgery was conducted by Dr. Umesh Pample resulted in excessive blood loss, and that adequate post-operative care and monitoring were not provided. According to the family, the patient’s condition continued to deteriorate instead of improving.

A few days later, doctors at Millennium Hospital reportedly informed the family that blood transfusion facilities were unavailable and advised transferring Salman to Sai Group of Hospitals in Chembur. He was transported by ambulance and admitted under the supervision of Dr. Amit Shobhut.

At Sai Hospital, Salman’s condition worsened further. He reportedly developed serious complications, including fluid accumulation in the chest and signs of kidney failure. He was eventually placed on a ventilator, but could not be saved.

Police have initiated further investigation into the matter, and verification of documents and evidence is currently underway.
