Crime Patrol: Gang sold women from Mumbai to bride-starved village in Gujarat (Episode 523, 524 on 26th, 27th June 2015)

Part 1

Part 2

The Inside Story

Within a month of catching wind of a human trafficking racket covering Maharashtra and Gujarat, the city police have arrested all seven accused; they would sell women and minor girls from the city to a village near Ahmedabad, which has a female population of only 10 per cent



Last month, a 22-year-old rape survivor fled home to Mumbai from Gujarat and exposed an inter-state human trafficking racket involving the supply of women and young girls from the city and its outskirts to be sold as brides in a village near Ahmedabad, which has a very skewed sex ratio.



According to the cops, the girls were kept in the dark until the very day of the wedding, when they were sold as brides to considerably older men in Bakrana village



Taking swift action, the Pydhonie police had immediately conducted a raid and rescued two minor girls from a similar fate, and now, less than a month later, the cops have busted the entire racket with the arrest of the last absconding accused.



Beginnings On April 17, a 22-year-old girl approached the Pydhonie police and told them that she had been tricked into going to Bakrana, a village near Ahmedabad in Gujarat, where she was forced to marry a 45-year-old villager.



She alleged that she had been sold to the man for Rs 1 lakh and he had raped her and kept her confined until she managed to finally escape. She gave the police details about the racket and the accused, with the help of which the cops immediately raided the village and rescued two minor girls who had been similarly abducted.



Upon investigation, the cops found that the racket was being run by a group of seven, who would lure girls and women to the village under the pretext of getting them a job or finding a marital match for them. Once the girls arrived in Bakrana, however, they were sold as wives to the local men.

“In Bakrana, women form only 10% of the population. Because of this shortage of girls, most men remain unmarried there. Having a bride is a status symbol there, and married men are seen as rich and powerful,” said Senior Inspector Sunil Kavlekar of Pydhonie police station.



Modus operandi

Amongst the accused were Kalyan-resident Meera Salve, her husband Dilip and son Trishant. The trio would supply women and girls from Mumbai and its outskirts, promising them jobs or rich husbands. “The couple first zeroed in on poor families and then began to offer clothes and food to them. Once the family began to trust them, they would put forth a proposal of marriage or a job for the girls. Once the parents agreed, the accused would pay them Rs 20,000 to Rs 25,000,” said a cop.

Once the deal was struck, the family would call two other accused — Rajendra Waghela and Vajubhai Dogaria, who run marriage bureaus in Ahmedabad and Surat respectively. They would, in turn, contact two agents, Ganpat Patel and Lakhan Pawar, who would search for men willing to pay for brides.



The girls were sold for anywhere between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 5 lakh, depending on the purchasing power of the groom.



Arrests, rescues The first to be arrested was the prime accused, Meera, who initially fled to Dhulia in north Maharashtra but was eventually chased down by the police. With the help of the 22-year-old who had escaped, they also arrested the agent, Ganpat, who confessed and provided information that helped the cops raid Bakrana village and rescue the two minors.

Following this, the rest of the accused were apprehended as well, with the most recent arrest taking place last week.



The rescue operation, however, was challenging in itself, as the locals refused to cooperate. “Our officers were stuck for a day in the village as the locals were not allowing us to enter and rescue the girls. We had to call for additional officers and rescue the girls, who had already been pushed into marriages,” said SPI Kavlekar, adding that the force was now searching for six other girls who had been similarly abducted and sold.



Charges

Preliminary investigations revealed that the gang had been operating since the last three years, and had sold more than six girls from Mumbai. Police have booked the accused on charges of rape (IPC 376), kidnapping (IPC 363), wrongful confinement for three or more days (IPC 343) and criminal intimidation (IPC 120 b).

Crime Patrol: Mystery of chopped human thighs in Navi Mumbai solved after 10 months (Episode 521, 522 on 19th June 2015)

Part 1

Part 2

The Inside Story

NAVI MUMBAI: Ten months after the discovery of chopped human thighs wrapped in a bed sheet, the zone-2 of Navi Mumbai police has finally been able to crack this difficult murder case by arresting two men from Uran.



Deputy commissioner of police (zone 2) Sanjay Yenpure said: ''On March 16, 2014, the brutally cut human thighs were found in a creek at Uran. At the time we could not make out if these body parts belonged to a man or a woman. Our police commissioner, K L Prasad, had challenged us to solve this complicated murder case. Now, we have finally arrested two accused persons who are behind this gory crime.''



Reportedly, the victim, Jai Narayan Koli (24), was killed in his own house and later chopped up to dispose off the body parts at several locations such as Panvel creek, Ulwe creek and from the Vashi bridge into the sea. The human thighs were found near Bori Pakadi village in Uran taluka.



The cops first sent the human thighs for a forensic analysis at Kalina in Mumbai and also systematically started inquiring at various police stations in Navi Mumbai, Raigad and Ratnagiri for any missing persons. After a few months, the forensic laboratory informed the cops that the chopped body parts were of a man aged between 24 and 28 years.



''On a strong hunch, we took the DNA samplings of two families whose members were missing. The chopped thighs matched the victim, Koli's, family. We soon found out that he had personal enmity with two other local youths Shafi Shaikh (25) and Javed Shaikh (32). Further investigation finally led to the murder detection. The two confessed to the crime,'' said ACP Shashikant Borate.



On March 13 last year, Shafi Shaikh had gone to the house of Koli to try and end their old grudges. Once inside, Shaikh who is a small-time criminal, fatally attacked Koli with a chopper and later informed his friend Javed about it. Then, the duo chopped the victim's neck, limbs and torso and packed it in different sets to dispose them of at various sea creeks. Unfortunately, since the human thighs were spotted and reported to cops, their game was finally up.



''The main investigators from Uran will be rewarded for this meticulous and systematic detection work,'' added DCP Yenpure.

Crime Patrol: Mumbai Crime - Kidnappers flee with Rs 2 crore as cops look on (Episode 518, 519, 520 on 12th, 13th, 14th June 2015)

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

The Inside Story

Nine, including wealthy businessman, held for kidnapping Ghatkopar builder's son



A 40-year old mechanical engineer, Ajit Aparaj, ran a business of buying and selling cars during day time in association with his wife, but allegedly was a professional kidnapper after sunset. The engineer has allegedly been involved in three successful kidnappings in the city, and he has extorted money from businessmen and builders, police said.



The Mumbai crime branch have arrested nine persons, including the engineer's wife, for allegedly kidnapping the 21-year old son of a businessman from Ghatkopar in March. The detection assumes high significance for an embarrassed Mumbai police as the accused successfully managed to get a ransom of Rs2 crore from victim's family.



Those arrested have been identified as Ajit Aparaj, Rakesh Kanojia, Gautam Gupta, Vijay Wadale, Deepak Salve, Manish Gangurde, Avinash Dethe, Ganesh Koyande and Bharti Aparaj. One Suresh Pandey has been shown wanted in the case.

Speaking on the modus operandi of the gang, joint commissioner of police, crime, Atulchandra Kulkarni said, "The accused persons would keep eye on housing societies in eastern suburbs where rich people would stay. They would then follow those people to study their movements. The victim youth was also spotted by the gang and one day when he was not using his car the gang used the opportunity and struck."



On March 11 around 10.30 pm the youth had left his Ghatkopar residence, having informed his parents that he was going to meet a friend. The victim had his mobile phone with him. Around 11.30 pm, he was abducted by Kanojia, Gupta and Pandey (who used an Indica Vista car) at MG Road in Rajawadi area of Ghatkopar, and was taken to Ajit's farmhouse in Murbad. Around 12.12 am on March 12, an SMS was sengt from the victim's phone to his father, stating, "I have been kidnapped." Kanojia took out the victim's SIM card from his Blackberry phone.



The victim's father contacted his son, but the phone was switched off. The father then lodged a missing person complaint with Tilak Nagar police.



"Kanojia returned to Mumbai, met Ajit and informed him about the kidnapping. Ajit decided to question the boy himself and take details of his family. He went to Bhiwandi, took a new phone and inserted victim's SIM card. He then went to Shahapur and called the victim's family. He told the family that the kidnapped youth had beaten up two of his boys, that he would meet them (the parents) two days later, and told the parents they were being watched. He threatened to kill the youth if the parents went to the police, an officer said.



Ajit questioned the youth and gauged how much money could be extorted from the family. On March 14, Kanojia made repeated phone calls to the family for ransom of Rs2 crore from Aadgaon. "Ajit was monitoring the entire process and remained behind the scene. He assigned his associates, all drivers by profession, to do the dealing and transportation," the officer said.



On March 16 Kanojia made a phone call to the family from Vikhroli, and said the family would be allowed to speak to the youth next day. Next day, a parcel was sent to the family. "The parcel contained a letter signed by the victim and a video saved in a memory card. The contents of the letter and video were the same. In the video, the victim appealed to his family to meet the demands of the kidnappers," the officer said.



After a few days, Kanojia went to Ambedkar Nagar in UP and took three SIM cards, returned and then again made extortion calls. The victim was meanwhile shifted from Murbad to Vani in Nashik.



On March 28 the case was handed over to crime branch for further probe.



On March 29, the abductors informed victim's family that a parcel was kept on top of a bus stop near their house. "The parcel contained a new handset, a SIM card and another video of the victim. The family was told to communicate with this new handset only. The gang was absolutely professional in their approach. They would make calls to the family from different SIM cards and used to travel at least 25-30 kilometres away from the spot where the victim was kept, so that the location was not traced. Once the call was made, they used to take out the battery of the phone and would use it only to make the next call," said a police officer.



On April 12, Rakesh called the father early morning and asked him to come to Aarey colony with the ransom in a bag. "In the isolated area, they asked the father to throw the bag over a wall of a building. Kanojia and Gupta collected the bag and fled on a motorcycle. They later met met Ajit in Goregaon, who transferred money from the bag into a gunny bag, threw the bag away and left. Ajit gave Kanojia and Gupta Rs 1 lakh and the duo later went to Nashik and released the victim. Others involved in the case were involved in the taking care of the victim," the officer said.



"The victim told the police during questioning that the accused persons had held him at gunpoint while abducting him. The gang used to give sedative injections to the victim while transporting him from one place to another, so that he could not identify the places he was being taken to," said the officer.



"Our first lead came in when the victim told us that during his kidnapping, he had heard that one of the accused person's wife had delivered a baby in Mumbai and the accused person had to rush to Mumbai and return after a couple of days. We then made inquiries with the hospitals in city and scanned details of the children that were delivered during the period of kidnapping. The suspect who then emerged was Manish Gangurde," said senior police inspector Shripad Kale.



The police have recovered Rs 30 lakh, an Innova and a Safari car from Ajit, Rs 55 lakh from Kanojia and Rs 5 lakh from Gupta. "Rs 50 lakh were kept in the locker of Ajit's wife. We would seize that money soon. The accused persons were produced before the court and have been remanded to police custody till May 5," an officer said.



The group has a past criminal history

Ajit Aparaj was involved in two cases of kidnapping which remained undetected earlier. The cases were registered last year. "In June 2013, he abducted a 54-year old businessman from Kurla who bought and sold cars. He called the victim to Dahisar, saying he wanted to sell a car, abducted him and kept him in a godown in Nalasopara. Later the gang extorted Rs 12 lakh from the family. A case was registered with Kurla police," said additional commissioner of police, KMM Prasanna. In the second case (with the Aarey police station) the accused extorted Rs 81 lakh from his school time friend after abducting his three-year old son. The victim was kept under confinement for four days in January 2014.



Gang had a failed attempt too

"In one case the gang kidnapped a person and made ransom calls to the family. The family did not obey the demands made by the kidnappers and told them that they were free to do anything. Shocked with the disinterest shown by the family the gang had no option but to release the victim without getting a single rupee. No case has been registered in this regard with the police," said deputy commissioner Dhananjay Kulkarni.



Profile of main accused Ajit Aparaj

40-year old Ajit Aparaj has a diploma in mechanical engineering and has a business of buying and selling cars in Ghatkopar. Apart from two cases of kidnapping, Aparaj is also involved in five cases of car robberies between 2011 to 2015 in Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai. "The gang used to book cars on rent, give a sedative to the driver during the journey, abandon him in an isolated place and flee with the vehicle. They would later sell the vehicle," said assistant commissioner Praful Bhosale. "Ajit had spent a lot of money in bars, hotels and on women. He used to spend Rs75,000 a day on his vices," an officer said.

The gang had told the builder, whose son they had abducted, to drop off the cash at Sanjay Gandhi National Park; cops could do nothing as the criminals took the money and fled, since they didn’t know the victim’s whereabouts



The Mumbai Crime Branch suffered a major embarrassment when kidnappers walked away with Rs 2 crore in ransom money and the police could do nothing but look on. Police officials said they couldn’t do anything at that time because the victim had not yet been released.



The gang asked the builder to drop off the money at a spot in Sanjay Gandhi National Park.



He has, however, returned home now. On the night of March 21, the 21-year-old son of a builder from Ghatkopar was kidnapped from near his residence. Soon after his disappearance, the family received a text message, while they were asleep, that their son had been abducted.



As police lay in wait to nab them, two men on motorcycles sped away with the bag of cash before cops could even reactAs police lay in wait to nab them, two men on motorcycles sped away with the bag of cash before cops could even react



The message was sent from the youth’s mobile phone. Police said that after this, the accused would call the family every two days or so and demanded Rs 2 crore in ransom. After playing a cat-and-mouse game with the distressed family, in which they fixed venues to collect the ransom several times and refused to show up, the venue was finally fixed at Sanjay Gandhi National Park.



The next day, the victim returned home, telling his family that the kidnappers had left him at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Bridge in Nashik with Rs 2,000



The money was to be delivered at around 7 pm on Sunday. Crime Branch instructed the family to meet the kidnappers and, accordingly, laid a trap there.



Escape

“As the family’s car entered the SGNP area, the kidnappers called them and asked them to throw the bag full of cash at a certain spot. Once the bag was thrown out of the car, two men on motorcycles arrived and zoomed away with the money before we could react,” said an officer from Crime Branch, on condition of anonymity.



When asked why they had not acted on time, a senior Crime Branch officer said, “Arresting them from the spot would’ve endangered the victim’s life. It didn’t make sense to lay our hands on the kidnappers till we came to know of the victim’s location.”Less than 12 hours later, the youngster was released in Nashik, where his abductors gave him Rs 2,000 to reach home. “Now that he is home, we can investigate the case. We are sure the accused will be behind bars soon,” added the senior officer.

The police also suspect the gang knows the family and is from the same locality, since they hadn’t used a single expletive or abuse word while speaking to the father. Police have also been trying to trace the location of the kidnappers, who have been one step ahead of them at all times till now.

The youth himself is not in a state to answer questions. An officer added, “We will send the victim for a medical check-up after two days, and then begin asking him questions in detail.” The unidentified accused have been booked for kidnapping.



Evasive gang

According to the police, the gang has played hide-and-seek with the family ever since the kidnap. They told the family members to come with the money to Lonavla, Neral and Matheran. They also seem to have a macabre sense of humour, when they called the family to the Ghatkopar crematorium to meet their son.



Once, they also sent a memory card containing the video of the youngster. In the clip, the youth is seen telling his parents he is safe, and implores them to pay the ransom. Police said the gang had gauged their preparations well before proceeding with the Sunday plan.

Two arrested for killing five of Ferozepur family

Lone surviving girl killed too, body yet to be found



Crime most foul

• Five members of the family were found killed at their house in Talwandi Bhai a few days agoAll the victims hailed from Purnia district of Bihar where the incident had created a lot of unrest


• Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had taken up the matter with his Punjab counterpart to expedite the investigation into the case


• A resident of Talwandi had informed the police about foul smell emanating from the residence of Banke Bihari, whose wife and daughter, who worked as domestic help at his place, had not reported for work for several days

Ferozepur, March 26

With the arrest of two persons, the Ferozepur police today claimed to have unravelled the mystery behind the sensational murder of five members of a family that took place in Talwandi Bhai a few days ago. The accused had also murdered the lone survivor of the family, a girl, whose body is yet to be recovered.



A case in this regard was lodged at the Ghal Khurd police station in this border district on March 20.

Earlier, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had taken up the matter with his Punjab counterpart to expedite the investigation into the case as all victims hailed from Purnia district of Bihar where the incident had created a lot of unrest.



Giving details, Ferozepur SSP Hardyal Singh Mann said on March 19, Vishwananth, a resident of Talwandi, had informed the police about foul smell emanating from the residence of Banke Bihari, whose wife and daughter, who worked as domestic help at his place, had not reported for work for several days.



Acting on the information, the police went to Bihari’s residence and broke open the door only to find five decomposed bodies lying in the compound. The victims were identified as Banke Bihari, his wife Rani, sons Kundan and Nandu and daughter-in-law Lalita, all of whom had been murdered by slitting their throats. The SSP said the accused were identified as Wakeel Singh and Jaspreet Singh, adding that they were cousins.



He said Bihari’s younger son Kundan had eve-teased Wakeel’s sister some time ago and the latter wanted to take revenge. “Wakeel befriended Bihari’s daughter Baby and started having illicit relation with her,” said the SSP, adding that the accused also started frequenting Bihari’s house. Later, he persuaded Baby to give some intoxicant to all the family members on the day of tragedy so that both of them could run away and get married. Wakeel had also cautioned Bihari that since there was some evil spirit in their house, he would treat it with some chemical.



The SSP said on the fateful night, after Baby gave pills to all family members, the duo came to their house and eliminated all of them. They took Baby along to Mata Chintpurni in Himachal Pradesh the next morning. Later, when they ran out of money, they thought the matter would have been settled by now and decided to return to their place.



On the way, they murdered Baby also and threw the body in a canal near Harike.

Mann said the weapons used in the crime had been recovered and efforts were on to retrieve Baby’s body.



Earlier, the bodies of all victims had been sent to their native village Purnia by the district administration at the instance of the Bihar CM.

Crime Patrol: Another BJP leader killed in UP, party blames SP govt (Episode 515 on 5th June 2015)

The Inside Story

On Tuesday morning Om Vir Singh, a local BJP leader in Muzaffarnagar district’s Mirapur area, was shot dead while he was returning to his residence. Singh’s murder takes place barely three days after Dadri BJP leader Vijay Pandit was shot dead.



The police said that Singh, like every other day, was on his way to native village, Nangla Khepri, on the outskirts of Muzaffarnagar. “He went there every day. After he retired from the Army, he started living in the city. But he went back every day to tend to his farmland,” said a police officer. Singh was the vice-president of BJP’s Mirapur (city) committee and was appointed by the serving BJP Muzaffarnagar president, Satya Pal Sharma. “Singh’s leadership qualities made him very important during campaigning. He wasn’t very old. His father was also in the BJP,” said Sharma.

Mirapur, though in Muzaffarnagar district, is one of Assembly segments that constitute the Bijnore Lok Sabha seat.

As per the police, he was gunned down a little past 6:30 am by assailants who haven’t been identified. “Two men came on bikes and shot him from behind. He was also on his bike, and fell down due to the impact,” a police officer said.



The police said that as per eyewitness reports and evidence gathered from the scene of the crime, Singh had retaliated. “Eyewitnesses said that he tried to bring out his gun and tried to shoot at them. But they fired more rounds into him and he died on the spot,” said the police officer. “We are looking at all possible angles. However, the FIR makes no mention of the fact that he was a BJP leader,” said Rakesh Jouli, SP Crime, Muzaffarnagar.



The BJP claimed that the death was part of a political conspiracy hatched by the SP to eliminate local support for the BJP. “The SP government has failed time and again to protect the common man and BJP supporters,” said Mohit Beniwal, a local BJP leader.



After his body was taken for post mortem in Muzaffarnagar, BJP workers protested and demanded justice. Similar protests took place near his residence at Punjabi Colony in Mirapur.

Crime Patrol: Blind murder case solved; three held (Episode 513, 514 on 30th, 31st May 2015)

Part 1

Part 2

The Inside Story

The police on Wednesday solved a blind murder case, more than a year after a headless body of a woman was found in a residential plot of scheme no. 7 of the Gurdaspur Improvement Trust on the Tibri Road on December 12, 2011.



Superintendent of police (detective) Jagjit Singh Saroa told mediaperons on Thursday that police have arrested three people -- Sucha Singh alias Sonu, a resident of Fatte Nangal village, Michael alias Gora, a resident of Purana Dhariwal and Goldy, a resident of Mann Chopra -- in connection with the murder of Darshna alias Gogan, a resident of Sadhu Chak village near Gurdaspur.



Two other suspects, identified as Vijay Kumar of Kotli Khehra and Gora's sister Pooja, were yet to be arrested, police said.



The headless body The SP (D) said on the statement of one Bua Masih, a resident of Mann Chopra village, the Gurdaspur city police had registered a case under Sections 302, 201 and 34 of the IPC against his son-in-law Manoj Kumar for allegedly killing his daughter Goldy.

Bua Masih had identified the headless body as his daughter's. Interestingly, a week after the body was found, police found Goldy and her paramour Sucha Singh alias Sonu at Bari Brahmana in Jammu.



In light of this revelation, the identity of the headless body became a mystery for police.



Manoj Masih, a Punjab Police constable and a resident of Barnala village, often used to quarrel with his wife Goldy over her alleged illicit relations with Sucha Singh alias Sonu, a taxi driver. After the headless body was found, Goldy's parents suspected that Manoj Masih had killed her. Her father Bua Masih identified the victim as Goldy from the clothes.



The relatives of Goldy also held a protest in Gurdaspur over the alleged delay by police in arresting the alleged killer and her husband Manoj Masih.



Tale of illicit relationship The SP (D) said one Darshna alias Gogan was a divorcee had a paramour Vijay who was already married and he had kept her in a rented house in Dhariwal. Of late, she had started pressuring Vijay Kumar to keep her with him permanently.



Saroa said it was then that the alleged killers plotted to kill Darshna to rid Vijay of her. As per the plan, this would also enable Goldy live with Sucha Singh alias Sonu forever by showing her dead in the eyes of her husband and parents as Goldy's husband Manoj Masih would go to jail on the charge of killing his wife. Saroa said Goldy, Sucha Singh and Vijay held a meeting at the house of Michael alias Gora at Purana Dhariwal.



He said the alleged killers also included Michael's sister Pooja in the plot to kill Darshna. Two days before the murder, Goldy and Sucha Singh went to Jammu. On December 11, 2011, Goldy and Sonu reached Pathankot by a train. Vijay joined them there with a Mahindra car.



Saroa said they reached Dinanagar where they called up Darshna and Pooja. Michael alias Gora also came there. Darshna was told that she was being taken to a marriage and she should borrow a suit from Goldy.



Saroa said Darshna changed her clothes at the bus stand, Dinanagar, and they all went to a dhaba at Paniar village near Gurdaspur where they took food. Saroa said Goldy mixed some poisonous substance in Darshna's food, which made her unconscious. The SP (D) said then they took her to Gurdaspur bypass and severed her head off the body with a 'datar'.



The police officer said the accused put her severed head in a polythene bag and threw it in the nearby Upper Bari Doab Canal at Tibri and dumped her body in a residential plot of the Improvement Trust's scheme no.7 on the Tibri Road and went back to Pathankot from where they left for different destinations.



Saroa said police had also registered a case against Goldy's father Bua Masih for filing a false case against Manoj Masih who was later found innocent.
