Crime Patrol: Mumbai: Mysterious deaths of 4 friends baffles their families (Episode 120, 121 on 29th, 30th Mar, 2016)

March 31, 2016     No comments

Mysterious deaths of four friends from Kalachowkie leaves behind a trail of unanswered questions — Why did two of them delete all data from their phones before committing suicide? Why did the other two ram their bike into a truck, killing them instantly?



Three close friends in their 20s stay in constant touch with each other well into the wee hours of the morning. At 6 am, a family member finds one of them hanging from the ceiling. When they check his cellphone for clues, they find that all the data has been erased.



Less than two hours later, the other two friends, who were on their way to Shirdi, allegedly deliberately steer their bike into the path of an oncoming truck, dying on the spot. Precisely a week later, a close friend of the trio kills himself in a manner eerily similar to the first suicide. He, too, erases all the data from his cellphone.



This is the real-life horror story that has played out for the families of the four friends from Kalachowkie. Unable to come to terms with the deaths of their young sons, what has made things worse for them is the trail of unanswered questions and the undeniable aura of mystery shrouding the boys’ untimely passing.



With nowhere to turn, the families have approached Commissioner of Police Rakesh Maria, begging him to initiate a probe into what, if anything, links the deaths so that they can begin to get at least a modicum of closure.



Bodies pile up

Police said that the first death was reported on May 31 when, 20-year-old Darshan Katkar committed suicide by hanging himself from the ceiling of his Sita Sadan building in Kalachowkie. His sister found his body around 6 am, following which the cops were informed.



Talking to mid-day, his father Sharad said, “His death is a mystery for us. We had heard him chatting over the phone constantly into the wee hours of the morning. During investigations, the cops learnt that he had formatted his phone twice after the calls.”



Sharad said Darshan’s behaviour had been normal until the night before and there was no reason for him to commit suicide. He said they have still not been able to understand why he erased all the data from his phone.



Final ride

In the morning, while Sharad Katkar was returning from Bhoiwada after cremating his son, he was shocked to hear that two of his son’s friends, Chaitanya Parab and Prasad Dhadve (aged between 20 and 26) had also died in a road accident. Chaitanya and Prasad were also residents of Kalachowkie and Darshan had allegedly been speaking to them before he hanged himself.



Chaitanya’s aunt, Shailaja, said, “Chaitanya and his friend Dhadve had left for Shirdi on a bike around 1.30 am on May 31. Chaitanya was driving and, at 7.45 am, they met with an accident near Wavi junction in the Nashik Rural zone.”



Assistant Sub-Inspector Dhumal of Wavi police station said, “Both were declared dead on the spot. The truck driver, Krishnakant Nishad, told us in his statement that the motorcycle’s rider deliberately swerved into his lane at a high speed and rammed into his vehicle.” The truck driver was arrested by the police and later released on bail.



One week later

On June 7, 27-year old Pratik Tejam ended his life. His body was found hanging from the ceiling of his room in Bavan Chawl in Kalachowkie at 7 am. During investigations, it was found that Tejam had posted Darshan Katkar’s photograph on Facebook less than a week before killing himself. The post stated that he sorely missed his friend.



“He was unable to get over Darshan’s suicide and the loss of Chaitanya and Prasad. Tejam was alone at home on May 31, when the deaths had taken place, as we all were in our hometown in the Konkan region,” said Tejam’s brother Praneet.



“Tejam ran a catering business. On June 6, he came home on the usual time and prepared for the next day. He left for his room and we found him hanging from the ceiling the next morning. He had deleted all the data on his phone and his SIM card is still missing. Why would he do this? There are certainly many questions that remain unanswered in all the four deaths. I just want to know why he would kill himself,” he added.



Copspeak

Praneet Tejam and Sharad Katkar have written a letter to Commissioner of Police Rakesh Maria, asking for a probe into the deaths. Maria forwarded the letter to the Kalachowkie police station, which has begun an investigation.





Senior Inspector Shekhar Tawde from Kalachowkie police station said, “We have received the letter from two of the families. We have already written to the telecom companies, seeking details of their call records. The details are expected soon and, based on those, we will proceed with the investigations.”

Crime Patrol: Peerbagh murder: A love story, a death, a man who thought he was a woman (Dial 100 Episode 116 on 23rd Mar, 2016)

March 27, 2016     No comments




When the body of engineering student Owais Bashir Malik, 21, was found near a railway bridge on the outskirts of Srinagar, police had little to go on. The victim had no known enemy and there was no clear motive or suspect.

His family had filed a missing person’s report on January 13, a day after he went missing, and a day before his body was found. “They were worried about his safety but hopeful he would return home. The next day, we found his body,” said Senior Superintendent of Police, Budgam, Fayaz Ahmad Lone.

The murder sparked immediate protests. “There was a lot of pressure to crack the case. Owais had no enemies. There were no suspects,” said Deputy Inspector General of Police Ghulam Hassan Bhat. “But we had one clue. Owais had been in touch with a girl for a year and had gone to meet her. His sister said her name was Umaira and that she was from Wanabal neighbourhood. She, too, had spoken to the girl several times on phone, including once after Owais went missing. But nobody felt she had any role in the case.”



Then came the revelation.



“We checked Owais’s phone records and found he had been speaking to Umaira for hours every day. There were nights when they wouldn’t sleep,” said Bhat. “We wanted to question Umaira. That’s when we discovered that Umaira wasn’t a girl, but a boy.”



Umaira, Bhat said, was an identity assumed by Owais’s childhood friend Ishaan Majeed, 21. The two used to be in the same school till Class V. Then, about a year ago, their paths crossed again.



“Ishaan hadn’t been in touch with Owais since class V. He created a Facebook page under the name Umaira and put up actor Shilpa Shetty’s photo as the profile picture. He got in touch with Owais on Facebook. His family, especially two of his sisters, were quite fond of Umaira. His sister told us that whenever Owais’s phone was switched off or if he didn’t pick up the phone, Umaira would call her and plead with her to pass the phone to Owais. Owais’s cousin Tanveer had also spoken to Umaira on phone. Things were so intense that Owais wouldn’t even eat with the family — he would take his food to his room as he was always on the phone with Umaira,” said Bhat. “Owais’s family was aware of this relationship. They didn’t have a problem. His sister told us they thought it was a serious relationship, and there was no reason to disapprove of it.”



The two, Bhat said, had not met in person. “Recently, Owais said he would continue the relationship only if Umaira met him. On January 12, Ishaan relented and decided to meet Owais. They met near the railway track. Ishaan told us that once he revealed his true identity to Owais, he was shocked. He got angry and slapped Ishaan,” said Mir. “They had a scuffle and Owais fell down and was hit on the head. Ishaan told us he kicked Owais but once he saw he wasn’t moving, he got scared and fled. He destroyed two of his SIM cards and went to his aunt’s home in Bandipore. He also deleted Umaira’s Facebook page,” he added.



When Owais’s sister called Ishaan, she was told her brother had left for home after their meeting.

According to Lone, Ishaan, a student of Business Administration, was “confused” about his sexual orientation. “He would behave like a girl. He told us he loved Owais and wanted to be close to him. He has been crying, saying that he didn’t want to kill Owais, that he committed a mistake,” said Lone.



Bhat said three Railway Police personnel have also been arrested in the case. “They found the body but instead of informing the police, they dragged it and threw it away from the track. The body had scratch marks. It was lying near the track for two days and there is a possibility that an animal, perhaps dogs, might have come that way,” he said.



The autopsy report is awaited to ascertain the cause of death.



“Ishaan took us to the spot where they had a scuffle. Our findings are corroborated by phone records. We made him speak to Owais’s sister and cousin on the phone and they instantly recognised the voice,” said Bhat.



Ishaan’s family had migrated from a village in Bandipore to Srinagar city, where his father Abdul Majeed is a government employee. He had three siblings, all of whom died when they were children. “We are shocked. We can’t believe Ishaan could do such a thing. He isn’t physically capable of killing a person. How is it possible that he did not receive a single bruise if he had a scuffle that led to the other boy’s death,” said Abdul Majeed.



He said the family has not been allowed to meet Ishaan. “We don’t believe what the police are saying. We want to speak to him and check ourselves,” he said.

Srinagar Boy Murdered After He Finds Out The Girl He Was In Love With Was Actually A Boy



In a textbook thriller criminal case, a Srinagar boy was murdered by another youth after he came to know that the 'girl' he was in touch with for past one year on phone and Facebook was actually a boy, a statement from Jammu and Kashmir Police on Tuesday said. However, the victim's family has refused to believe police's version.



Police have arrested four persons in the case including three personnel of railway police who had shifted the body from the place of murder to near the railway bridge instead of informing the police.



The incident came to light on January 12 when the mutilated dead body of 20-year-old Owais Bashir Malik of Peerbagh, Srinagar was found lying near a railway bridge in Srinagar outskirts. Soon after the incident, violent clashes had broken out between security forces and protesters who blamed security forces for the killing.



J&K police had constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the case, which on Tuesday claimed to have cracked the case.



According to police Owais was in contact with a person namely Ishaan Majeed of district Bandipora who is presently residing at Barzullah Srinagar.



"Ishaan would pose and act like a girl by the name Umaira and both would talk for hours together mostly during the night hours. Ishaan (Umaira) would also talk at times with family members including the sisters of the Owais as also with his cousin namely Tanveer Ahmad Bhat," Deputy Inspector General of Police Kashmir, Ghulam Hassan Bhat told reporters at a press conference in Srinagar on Tuesday.



However, whenever Owais pressed Ishaan (Umaira) for a meet, the later avoided. But that changed on 12-01-2016, when (Umaira) agreed to meet on the Railway Track at Peerbagh.Police said it was here Ishaan (Umaira) divulged before the deceased that it was he who was posing as a girl.



"This infuriated Owais and they got involved in a scuffle. Ishaan (Umaira) got better of the Owais and brought him down on the ground over the Railway Track and also kicked him repeatedly. This injured Owais badly and he rolled down into the gorge. Thinking that Owais was dead, Ishaan (Umaira) left for his home and subsequently to his aunt’s house at Bandipora. The two SIMs through which he used to talk with Owais were broken by him and thrown into a Nalla and thus tried to destroy the evidence," the police statement added.



Terming the statement of Police as "fabricated and baseless" Owais's family has refused to believe the police. Even the Owais' area witnessed a spontaneous shutdown after police said it had cracked the case.

Crime Patrol: रई में सिर कुचली अज्ञात लाश मिली (Episode 637, 638 - 18th, 19th March, 2016)

March 25, 2016     No comments




नगर के रई मोहल्ले में रविवार को एक अज्ञात युवक की लाश मिलने से सनसनी फैल गई। घटनास्थल की स्थिति को देखते हुए पुलिस इसे हत्या का मामला मान रही है। युवक का शव खून से सना हुआ है। उसके सिर को बुरी तरह कुचला गया है। पुलिस ने शव को कब्जे में लेकर मोर्चरी में रख दिया है। मृतक की उम्र करीब 30 साल बताई गई है। घटनास्थल पर वह अर्धनग्न हालत में मिला।





पुलिस अधीक्षक रोशन लाल शर्मा ने घटनास्थल का दौरा करने के बाद बताया कि लाश मुख्य सड़क से करीब 15 मीटर अंदर एक निर्माणाधीन मकान में पड़ी हुई थी। रविवार सुबह जब आसपास के लोगों ने लाश देखी तो पुलिस को सूचना दी। पुलिस ने बताया कि युवक ने नीले रंग की जींस पहनी थी। उसके कपड़े शव के पास ही बिखरे हुए थे। पुलिस ने युवक की शिनाख्त के लिए काफी प्रयास किया। कुछ लोगों से पूछताछ भी की गई लेकिन कुछ हासिल नहीं हुआ। एसपी ने बताया कि यह हत्या का मामला प्रतीत होता है। पहले शव की शिनाख्त का प्रयास किया जाएगा। उसके बाद घटना से जुड़े सभी पहलुओं की छानबीन की जाएगी। रई का यह मोहल्ला घनी आबादी वाला है। यदि रात में कोई वारदात हुई तो किसी को भी पता न चलना संदेह को जताता है। कोतवाल ध्यान सिंह ने बताया कि जिस परिस्थिति में लाश मिली है उससे मामला संदेहास्पद प्रतीत होता है। पुलिस फिलहाल किसी नतीजे में नहीं पहुंची है।

Crime Patrol: Delhi Woman Who Tried To Rape An Auto Driver, While Her Friend Filmed The Act, Has Been Arrested (Dial 100, Episode 111 on 15th Mar, 2016)

March 15, 2016     No comments




In an incident which once again proves that men, too, are sexually harassed, a 32-year-old woman from South Delhi has been arrested for forcibly trying to have sex with an auto driver, while her friend from Tanzania who tried to make their MMS is on a run.



41-year-old Umesh Prasad told the police that Renu Lalwani hired his rickshaw from Saket in South Delhi and wanted to go to Arjun Nagar. Upon reaching the destination, Renu, on the pretext of paying him the fare, invited the driver to her flat. She offered him drinking water after which she suddenly locked all the doors from inside and sought sexual favours from the driver which he clearly denied.



Frustrated, she then tried to offer him wine and threw herself on him when he declined that too. She tore his clothes, tried to kiss him while her Tanzanian friend named Hitija filmed the entire act.



Luckily when the women were distracted, Umesh found a way to jump out of the first floor balcony but fractured his foot. He then reported the incident to the police and they picked up Renu from from her residence. Apparently several other licenses of auto drivers have been found from her flat.



This is beyond disgusting!

Crime Patrol: Man admits to ‘Drishyam’ style murder (Episode 635, 636 on 12th, 13th Mar, 2016)

March 13, 2016     No comments




A 42-year-old man who allegedly killed his girlfriend and disposed off her body after being inspired Bollywood flick Drishyam has confessed to his crime, the police said.



Vikas Mhatre, the accused, allegedly killed 48-year-old Sunita Ahire and just as portrayed in the movie, hid her body and tried to create alibis by visiting several places and trying to gather witnesses who he thought would later corroborate his claims.



However, the police nabbed him within six months of the crime taking place.



On June 24, 2015 Navi Mumbai police found the decomposed body of a woman at Mahape area. The body, which was buried near the roadside, was discovered after two days of heavy rain. Upon finding the body’s hands tied up with a nylon rope, the police concluded it must be a murder and started investigation. The postmortem revealed the woman had sustained head injury as well as fractures in her jaws.



The police said, “After three months when we did not get any clue of the case we printed posters of the dead body and the things we receovered around it and distributed it in all over Mumbai. In December, the Ghatkopar police told us one lady had been missing from Ghatkopar from June 3 and till then they hadn’t got any details on it. We called her family, who identified the body.”



Meanwhile, Sunita Ahire had gone missing on Jun 3, 2015. Sunita, was living with her husband and has three children, who are all married. “As her husband is an alcoholic, Sunita had to earn to take care of the family. She took up a job under Mhatre, who was in the business of making plastic visors Diva. They then fell in love with each other,” they added.



Sunita left her home on June 3 and went to Mhatre’s Diva flat to live with her lover. Police said, “Mhatre did not like Sunita’s decision and they had an argument. Then Mhatre strangulated Sunita with a plastic wire and killed her. Later, he kept the body in a big plastic drum for two days. After smell started emanating from the body he poured cement in the drum and sealed it. When he came to know that Ghatkopar police interrogating his friend Ghadi and they would call him too, he took Sunita’s mobile phone and went to Shirdi, then Sinnar and specifically stayed at one hotel by mentioning the names of Sunita and him. He spent a long time in a temple, telling the priest there he was waiting for Sunita, so that the priest would later tell the police he had been waiting for Sunita.”

After he returned to Mumbai, he took the drum to a place near Mahape and buried her body. Mhatre confessed to his crime on January 10.
