Extortionist arrested for allegedly harassing a pet owner from Thane.

Khushi Shah – Mumbai Uncensored, 18th May 2022

An FIR was registered against Lata Parmar, president of PFA’s Mumbai Unit and her team members on April 14 for allegedly forging a document and using the stamps of Sion police on the letterhead of PFA while taking custody of a Dalmatian from a Thane resident.

Ravi Vikram Bhatnagar, an animal activist alerted the police about the forged document and said that two more accused were yet to be arrested and that these people were using Maneka Gandhi’s name and extorting people.

Maneka Gandhi is the founder of People For Animals and is currently the chairperson of this organisation. Whilst serving India as a political member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), she founded India’s largest organisation for animal rights and welfare, People For Animals.

Following this complaint she tweeted a post that read-

“***IMPORTANT*** A decision has been taken to dissolve the People For Animals, Mumbai Unit-1. As on 15.04.2022, the PFA Mumbai Unit 1 ceases to exist.”

Days after Maneka Gandhi severed ties with the Mumbai Unit 1 of her non-profit People for Animals (PFA) over allegations of extortion, a woman, Bimlesh Navani, associated with the organisation was arrested for allegedly harassing a pet owner from Thane. As per the FIR, a few PFA members visited a site of Vedant Construction on Ghodbunder Road, Thane, on March 3. They found a Dalmatia dog and told its owner Akshay Zade that they were taking the canine and Zade could get it back after showing the necessary documents. The same day, Bhatnagar, who is a friend of Zade, came across a photo of the dog on social media. He found something was off in the documents uploaded along with the picture of the dog and alerted the cops. The Sion police have also booked Lata Parmar, president of PFA’s Mumbai Unit 1, in the case. Another accused, Mohit Chawre, has got anticipatory bail. 

An animal lover, who runs NGO, Salim Charania and had filed a writ petition in the high court against Parmar for misusing her power as president and filied 55 false complaints against him at various police stations. He said, “In 2020, the raid was conducted at my house in Vasai where I kept stray dogs for allegedly breeding dogs and selling them. However, the police did not find anything against me. Parmar targeted me as my NGO was working in the market. She used to call the police and Maneka Gandhi to complain against me. VVMC doctors also gave me a clean chit.’’

Simalar cases involving Parmar misusing her power under the name of the organisation and Maneka Gandhi were seen.

An Assistant doctor Kuldeep Mukane, also victim, spoke about how in January, a month after performing a surgery on a cat the owner came to us complaining that the cat had an infection. At that time, Lata Parmar had demanded Rs 1 lakh from them to not register a complaint. She also approached Gandhi and got Anchole police station to file a case against them.

Similarly Dr Dattatray Bhausaheb Raje’s clinic in Kalyan was shut down after Lata Parmar and her team in December 2021 informed Tilak Nagar police station that they was running a racket of breeding dogs at my clinic. They even got Maneka Gandhi and BMC officers involved. The civic body shut down his clinic.

PFA claims to be India’s largest animal welfare group with 26 hospitals, 165 units, 60 mobile units and 2.5 lakh members. Its stated aim is to open an animal welfare centre in every district in the country. It runs animal shelters, provides ambulance services for animals, sterilisation, rehabilitation of sick/needy animals, treatment, disaster rescue for animals. It lobbies for animal issues on different levels like education, sensitisation and legislation.

A wave of public outrage has erupted in Badlapur, Thane, after the shocking revelation of an alleged sexual assault on two kindergarten students at a local school. The incident has sparked widespread protests, leading to the blockage of railway tracks and a strong response from the state government.

The Incident:

The horrifying incident came to light when two young girls, aged three and four, reported pain in their private parts after attending school. The parents of one of the victims, concerned by their daughter’s distress, questioned her and discovered that she had been sexually assaulted by a male attendant at the school. The accused, 23-year-old Akshay Shinde, was reportedly employed on a contractual basis as a cleaner. It was revealed that the assault occurred when the girls went to use the toilet, a space shockingly unmonitored by female staff, a glaring oversight by the school administration.

Public Outcry:

As news of the assault spread, parents and local citizens were overcome with anger and fear for the safety of their children. On Tuesday, they stormed the school, expressing their fury by vandalizing the premises. The protests quickly escalated, with demonstrators blocking railway tracks at Badlapur railway station, disrupting train services from as early as 8:30 am. The protest turned violent at points, with some agitators hurling stones, but the situation was eventually brought under control by the police.

Government Response:

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has taken swift action in response to the incident. He has ordered the police to impose charges of attempted rape against the accused, alongside provisions under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the Chief Minister announced that a special public prosecutor would be appointed to fast-track the case, ensuring that justice is served promptly.

School Management Under Scrutiny:

The school management has also come under intense scrutiny following the incident. The principal, a class teacher, and a female attendant have been suspended as investigations continue. The Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) has warned of strict legal action if the school’s management is found negligent or complicit in the crime. Additionally, the CMO has called for a thorough review of the implementation of Sakhi Savitri committees in schools, which are intended to protect and support students.

Conclusion:

The Badlapur incident has sent shockwaves through the community, igniting a conversation about the safety of children in educational institutions. As protests continue and investigations proceed, the public is demanding accountability and swift justice for the victims. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and proper oversight in schools to protect the most vulnerable members of society.

timeline of kolkata doctors rape and murder a chilling sequence of events 120043787

 The brutal rape and murder of a 31-year-old post-graduate trainee doctor within the hallowed halls of RG Kar Medical College Hospital has sent shockwaves through the nation. The incident, a stark violation of trust and safety, has exposed deep-rooted systemic failures in protecting women, even in institutions dedicated to healing.

The victim, a beacon of hope and dedication, met a tragic end in a place meant to nurture life. Her lifeless body, bearing the horrific marks of violence, was discovered in a seminar hall, a sanctuary transformed into a chamber of horrors. The brutality of the crime has ignited a firestorm of outrage, with the medical community leading the charge in demanding justice. The protests that have erupted across West Bengal are a testament to the collective grief and anger over this heinous act.

The arrest of Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer with access to the hospital, marks a significant step in the investigation. However, the case has raised critical questions about security protocols, the vetting process for hospital staff, and the overall environment in which healthcare professionals operate. The incident has underscored the urgent need for comprehensive measures to prevent such tragedies from recurring.

Beyond the immediate shock and outrage, the case has brought to the forefront the broader issue of women’s safety in public spaces. The hospital, a place traditionally perceived as a safe haven, has been exposed as vulnerable. This incident serves as a stark reminder that no institution, however revered, is immune to the pervasive threat of violence against women.

The medical fraternity, already overburdened with the challenges of healthcare delivery, is now grappling with the added trauma of insecurity. Doctors and nurses, who dedicate their lives to saving lives, are demanding a safe working environment. Their protests are a call for urgent action to address the systemic issues that allowed this tragedy to occur.

As the nation mourns the loss of a young life, the focus now shifts to ensuring justice for the victim and preventing similar crimes in the future. The case serves as a grim reminder that even the most sacred of spaces can become battlegrounds for those seeking to inflict harm. It is imperative that the authorities conduct a thorough investigation, bringing the perpetrators to justice and implementing stringent measures to prevent such heinous acts from recurring.

The murder of the young doctor is a tragedy of immense proportions, but it is also a wake-up call. It demands a comprehensive response that addresses not only the immediate concerns of safety but also the underlying issues of gender inequality and violence against women.
