Shashwat Mishra & Anushka Pathak, Mumbai Uncensored, 3rd January 2022:

Law and order in the city of Mumbai has seen a deteriorating sign in the span of the last two years. The said finding is based on the white paper released by Praja Foundation, a non-partisan organization working towards enabling accountable governance.

The report presents the state of policing and law and order in Mumbai. The report covers different aspects under the realm of policing and controlling law and order in the city. As far as the investigation of offenses is concerned the report suggests a high level of pendency in the investigation of offenses. This includes high pendency in the investigation of cases like crime against women (77%), children (80%), and SLL (special and local laws crimes) 77% as of 2020. 

The next aspect of this report is the pendency of cases for forensic investigation. In 2019 55% of cases went for forensic investigation but this percentage dropped to 50% in the year 2020. There is also a  huge gap in the investigation of IPC cases which is about 70%. These gaps in the investigation of IPC cases are alarming and need prompt cognizance from the police. 

The current situation of law and order in Mumbai can also be attributed to the shortage of personnel in both, police and the judiciary. The data as of 31st July 2021 states the number of the sanctioned strength of police personnel was 51,255, of which only 41,396 are rendering their services, which suggests a shortage of 19% personnel. There is also a shortage of police officers involved in the investigation which accounts for 18% of the shortage in PSI posts. 

Looking at the grim situation of law and order of the city, there is an immediate requirement for the implementation of police reforms to improve the current situation. Police Complaints Authority (PCA) was set up and is currently in its initial stage. However, PCA is not operational for the Konkan region, which consists of the Mumbai region. It became operational for Mumbai only in September 2021.

Another ancillary issue related to the shortage of police personnel is the fact that the officers who are involved in the investigation also have to perform law and order functions, which really affects the speed of investigation. There needs to be a separation between officers who carry out law and order functions and officers who conduct investigations. Furthermore, the State Security Commission (SSC) which lays down broad policy guidelines and also evaluates the overall performance of police personnel has also not been set up. The MLAs in the assembly need to make sure that deliberations on the issue of law and order happen and laws with respect to the same are passed in the assembly.      

Mumbai city’s state of law and order needs dire attention, as per Praja Foundation. The report suggests a high level of pendency in the investigation of offenses. There is also a huge gap in the investigation of IPC cases. There is an immediate requirement for the implementation of police reforms to improve the current situation. The MLAs in the assembly need to make sure that deliberations on the issue of law and order happen and laws with respect to the same are passed in the assembly.

Mira Bhayandar: Hindu Girl Raped, Blackmailed and Extorted Lakhs by Mohsin Shaikh, Physically Abused by his family in ‘Love Jihad’ Case; FIR filed at Naya Nagar Police Station

Location: Mira Road, Mumbai

A shocking case of Love Jihad alleged harassment, forced conversion, and physical assault has come to light in Mira Road, Mumbai, as a 26-year-old Hindu woman named Rakhi Upadhyay has filed a detailed First Information Report (FIR) against the accused, Mohsin Shaikh.

According to Rakhi’s statement in the FIR, the series of events began in September 2023, when Mohsin Shaikh, a Muslim boy and member of a ‘Dhol Tasha Pathak’, approached Rakhi during Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in her society. Mohsin initiated contact with Rakhi, eventually leading to exchanges on social media and sharing of phone numbers.

However, Rakhi alleges that Mohsin’s intentions took a sinister turn when he began sending her unsolicited messages expressing romantic interest. Despite Rakhi’s clear refusal to engage in a romantic relationship, Mohsin allegedly visited Rakhi’s home when she was alone, under the pretext of friendship, and offered her food. After consuming the food, Rakhi felt dizzy and later woke up to find herself naked, with her clothes in disarray, and feeling pain in her private parts.

Subsequently, Mohsin allegedly used photos and videos of their intimate moments to blackmail Rakhi into complying with his demands. He allegedly forced Rakhi to continue physical relations with him, threatened to make the compromising material public, and extorted money and valuables from her, including gold jewelry and cash, amounting to significant sums.

The alleged coercion escalated further when Mohsin reportedly took Rakhi to various religious places, including Haji Ali Dargah and Mahim Dargah, where he pressured her to convert to Islam. Despite Rakhi’s repeated refusals, Mohsin allegedly continued to assault her physically and emotionally, and even forcibly administered abortion pills when Rakhi discovered she was pregnant.

The situation worsened as Mohsin, along with his relatives, allegedly physically assaulted Rakhi when she attempted to seek help from the police and his family. Despite threats and coercion, Rakhi has shown immense courage by filing an FIR at Naya Nagar Police Station, detailing the ordeal she has endured, including allegations of love jihad, financial fraud, non-consensual miscarriage, rape, wrongful confinement, and assault.

The case has highlighted the dangers of coercion and manipulation in relationships, and the need for swift and decisive action against those who exploit others. The authorities are urged to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter and ensure that justice is served for Rakhi Upadhyay.

As the case unfolds, further details are expected to emerge, shedding light on the full extent of the alleged abuse and exploitation endured by Rakhi. The community stands in solidarity with Rakhi, offering support and advocating for her rights in this challenging time.

The case of a missing 17-year-old Hindu girl from Santacruz railway station has taken a grave turn as her father gives an ultimatum of ‘Fast Unto Death’ if his daughter is not found soon. The girl has been missing since the 23rd of March, 2024, and her father has been tirelessly searching for her.

An FIR was filed by the father at Vakola Police Station, where he also mentioned a person named Arif Shaikh as a possible suspect. However, the police did not include Arif Shaikh’s name in the FIR. Arif Shaikh is also accused in a POCSO case in Surat, adding to the urgency of finding the missing girl.

Despite the father’s efforts and the seriousness of the case, it has been reported that Senior Police Inspector Prakash Khandekar is not actively focusing on the investigation, causing a delay. This has led to frustration and desperation on the part of the family, as they fear for the safety and well-being of their daughter.

In a bid to pressure the authorities into action, the father has written to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) expressing his intention to go on a ‘Fast Unto Death’ if his daughter is not found soon. The family’s plea for swift action and justice in this matter highlights the need for urgent attention to cases of missing minors.

Efforts to locate the missing girl are ongoing, and authorities are urged to expedite the investigation to ensure her safe return. The Hindu community stands in solidarity with the family during this difficult time, hoping for a swift and positive resolution to this distressing situation.

We will continue to provide updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.
