Mumbai: A shocking incident occurred in the Kalachowki area, where a 24-year-old woman was brutally attacked in broad daylight by her former boyfriend, identified as Sonu Barai, who later ended his own life.

According to police sources, the couple had broken up about 8–10 days ago, following which Barai had allegedly been trying to reconcile with the woman. When she refused, he launched a violent attack on her near a local nursing home.

The woman, who sustained serious injuries, was immediately rushed to the hospital in a taxi with the help of locals. Eyewitnesses reported panic at the scene as the assault unfolded on a busy street.

Following the attack, Barai inflicted fatal injuries on himself. Both were initially taken to the hospital, where the woman remains in critical condition.

Kalachowki Police reached the spot soon after receiving the alert and have initiated further investigation into the matter.

New Delhi, Oct 24: In a major operation, the Delhi Police Special Cell busted an Islamic State (ISIS)-inspired terror module on Friday and nabbed two operatives who were allegedly planning to conduct an IED blast in the national capital.

The two suspected terrorists are understood to have undergone training for a ‘fidayeen (suicide) attack’ and were in advanced stages of conducting a terror strike in a crowded area of the city, reports said.

According to the police, one of the arrested operatives is Delhi-based, while another one hails from Madhya Pradesh. One of them was identified as Adnan.

The arrest was made during a joint and coordinated operation by the intelligence agencies and the Special Cell. The arrests were made in separate operations — one in Delhi’s Sadiq Nagar and the other in Bhopal.

A cache of arms and ammunition was also seized from their custody, police sources said.

A senior officer told a leading daily that the operation was conducted by a team led by Additional Commissioner Pramod Kushwaha and ACP Lalit Mohan Negi.

The busted terror module has been inspired by ISIS and is also believed to have the backing of Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI).

Meanwhile, the intelligence and security agencies are further conducting operations to unravel the full extent of their plans and plots to unleash terror. The potential link of the busted module with global terror networks is also under investigation.

Further details are awaited, but the unravelling of a terror module in the city marks a big success for the security forces and relief for the general public.

Jalna: Nationalist Congress Party–Sharad Pawar (NCP-SP) MLA Rohit Pawar strongly criticised the Maharashtra government over the state’s deteriorating law and order situation, following a violent attack on the nephew of well-known Jalna industrialist Narendra Mittal during Diwali.

Sharing CCTV footage of the incident on social media platform X, Pawar wrote that “once known for its strong law and order, Maharashtra now ranks first in corruption and rising crime.” He further blamed the state’s ‘inefficient government and Home Ministry’ for the growing sense of insecurity among citizens.

The shocking incident took place on the night of October 22 in the Sambhajinagar area of Jalna city, near the BJP office. According to reports, Yash Vijay Mittal, nephew of industrialist Narendra Mittal, was attacked by a gang of around 10–15 unidentified motorcycle-borne assailants while returning home with his wife, Sakshi Mittal, after visiting relatives for Diwali.

When Yash’s car reached near his residence, the attackers surrounded the vehicle and launched a violent assault. Neighbours and family members rushed out after hearing cries for help and found Yash lying in a pool of blood, having been struck on the head with an iron rod. The attackers also attempted to target his wife, but fled the scene when locals intervened.

Yash Mittal was initially rushed to Deepak Hospital in Jalna and later transferred to Sai Neuro City Hospital in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar due to severe head injuries. Doctors have reported that his condition remains critical and he is currently under intensive care.

Industrialist Narendra Mittal has lodged a formal complaint at the Sadar Bazar Police Station. An FIR was registered under Sections 115, 118, and 352(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for attempted murder. Special investigation teams have been formed to trace the culprits. The police are examining CCTV footage and technical evidence to determine whether the motive behind the attack was a property dispute, an extortion attempt, old enmity, or an act of intimidation.
