‘You Marathis Are Beggars’: MTDC Employee Akhilesh Shukla Calls Goons To Attack Neighbours Over Minor Dispute In Kalyan’s Yogidham; Fadnavis Gets Him Suspended

Thane: A shocking incident has come to light from the upscale Ajmera Heights society in Kalyan’s Yogidham area, where Akhilesh Shukla, an account manager at MTDC, allegedly called goons to attack a family over a minor dispute. The violent confrontation left three individuals injured, with one currently receiving treatment at Mumbai’s Sion Hospital.

Abhijit Deshmukh, a resident of Ajmera Heights society sustained severe injuries in the assault, including multiple wounds requiring 10 to 12 stitches and was rushed to Sion Hospital for treatment. Reports suggested that the attackers also abused and assaulted other residents, including women, who tried to intervene. Videos of the heated altercation have gone viral on the internet.

Details On The Incident

The conflict began when Shukla’s wife, Geeta, performed daily worship rituals outside their house, lighting incense sticks. The smoke from these sticks reportedly drifted into the home of their neighbours, Varsha and Vijay Kalvikatte, causing health issues for their three-year-old child and elderly mother, both of whom suffer from breathing problems, as reported by Pune Pulse. The situation led to frequent arguments between Geeta and Varsha.

During one such argument, nearby residents Abhijit Deshmukh and his brother, Dheeraj, stepped in to mediate and resolve the issue. However, their efforts enraged Shukla, who allegedly retaliated by summoning 10 to 15 men. These men, armed with iron rods, brutally attacked the Deshmukh brothers.

Attackers Called Marathi ‘Beggars’

Vijay Kalvikatte, a resident of the same society, recounted the horrifying ordeal to the media. “I was in my house when I saw Shukla pointing out Abhijit’s room to a group of men. They picked up a bicycle and started banging it against his door. When I went to check, seven to eight men began beating Abhijit with an iron rod. I was also attacked and pushed aside. Women who tried to intervene were beaten too. The attackers hurled abuses at Marathi people, calling them beggars and fish eaters,” he said.

Shukla, reportedly a controversial figure in the society, has been accused of troubling several Marathi residents. In a previous incident, he allegedly assaulted a Marathi family, saying, “You Marathi people are dirty; you smell. You are fish eaters.” His neighbours also alleged that he misused his government job powers and threatened them by showing off his influence at the CMO. Gupta also installed a beacon on his personal car’s dashboard, said his neighbours.

Shukla’s neighbours also alleged that he had his goons stationed outside the police station to stop them from filing an FIR. More details on the matter are awaited.

Akhilesh Shukla suspended

Taking cognisance of the matter, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis announced in the Maharashtra assembly that Akhilesh Shukla has been suspended from his service and an FIR has been registered against him and other accused. Fadnavis even showed a copy of the FIR filed against Shukla.

“Let there be no doubt in anyone’s mind. Mumbai and Maharashtra belonged to Mumbai, it still does and it will,” said Fadnavis amid the applause from the members of the house.

In an apparent reference to unfied Shiv Sena under Uddhav Thackeray, Fadnavis said it was important to know who was responsible for Marathi population migrating out of Mumbai after the construction boom in last few decades. Fadnavis did not name anyone.

MNS Demands Legal Action Against Shukla

Ulhas Bhoir, the Kalyan district president of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, has warned that legal action should be taken against a man named Shukla, who abused and beat Marathi people in a building in Kalyan, Thane district, over a minor dispute, otherwise, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena will take to the streets.

“The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena will straighten out Shukla, who abused a Marathi person in Maharashtra, but the Marathi people should also wake up now and from now on, just as the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena stands behind the Marathi people, the Marathi people should also stand behind the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena,” said Bhoir.

RG Kar victim’s parents yet to secure death certificate even after six months

Kolkata, Feb 22: Over six months have passed since the shocking rape and murder of a junior woman doctor at Kolkata’s R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital but her parents are still to get a copy of her death certificate.

The body of the victim was recovered from a seminar hall within the premises of the state-run institution early on August 9 last year.

The victim’s parents have alleged that they have been unable to get the death certificate till now as the R.G. Kar and Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) authorities are shifting the responsibility onto each other.

According to them, the KMC authorities are claiming that since the “place of death” is R.G. Kar, it is the responsibility of the hospital authorities to provide the death certificate.

On the other, the R.G. Kar authorities claim that if a patient dies within the hospital premises or is even brought dead to the hospital, the death certificate will have to be provided by the KMC authorities, the parents added.

The victim’s parents have further claimed that although they have not got a copy of the death certificate, it has been mentioned in the court documents, as per the statement of a medical officer attached to R.G. Kar.

They now say if the death certificate is mentioned in the court documents, why was a copy of the certificate not handed over to them?

Last week, a special court in Kolkata, which had convicted and sentenced civic volunteer Sanjay Roy in the rape and murder case, directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to file a fresh progress report on its investigation in the matter on February 24.

Since the special court has already pronounced the sentence for the convict in the main crime of rape and murder, legal circles feel that the fresh progress report will be related to the angle of tampering with the evidence in the case.

It is learnt that the special court had directed the CBI to submit a fresh progress report following a complaint filed by the counsel of the victim’s family accusing the central agency of not updating the court on the progress of investigation in the matter periodically.

Guwahati, Feb 21: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Friday that ten persons have been arrested in connection with the attack on Congress MP Rakibul Hussain.

Taking to social media platform X, CM Sarma said, “The police have identified the individuals involved in the alleged incident of assault on Congress MP Sri Rakibul Hussain.”

He also mentioned that the actions will be taken as per the law.

The Dhubri MP was attacked while attending a public programme in the Nagaon district.

The Congress MP had to run from the spot wearing a helmet to save himself. The security officers of Hussain sustained minor injuries in the attack.

In a viral video, it was seen that some masked miscreants initially showed black flags to the Congress MP and after that attacked him.

In the video, Hussian was seen fleeing from the spot in a two-wheeler to save himself from the attack.

The incident that happened in the Ruporihat locality drew criticism from the opposition with Congress leaders training guns on the BJP government.

Gaurav Gogoi, Deputy Opposition leader in the Lok Sabha, launched a sharp attack on the BJP government as Congress MP Hussain was attacked on Thursday.

Gogoi said, “In Assam, a Congress Lok Sabha MP is attacked by thugs in broad daylight in a busy marketplace. The goons even attack the police security officers and try to snatch their weapons. All of this is recorded on camera. Yet the Chief Minister of Assam Himanta Biswa Sarma refuses to ensure that the thugs will be arrested immediately.”

“The Chief Minister should at least think of his constitutional duty towards Assam Police and the innocent civilians in the marketplace. If the goons had got hold of the machine gun, a terrible tragedy could have taken place. The attitude of the Chief Minister will only embolden the thieves, dacoits, smugglers and those accused of murder. Democracy is under threat and people of Assam want freedom from this gunda raj culture,” he added.

The Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Debabrata Saikia said it was a “failure” of the police and administration.
