    Denied marriage, love-torn Mumbai boy & minor girl jump to death from hill

    Mumbai: A young man and his minor girlfriend allegedly ended their lives by jumping off a hillock in a north-west suburb of Mumbai, police said here on Saturday.

    The man, identified as one Akash Jhate and the 16-year-old girl studying in SSC, were neighbours in the Janupada tribal-dominated locality near Samata Nagar in Kandivali east.

    While the boy worked as a housekeeper, the girl was a school student and they reportedly took the extreme step as their families were against their liaison.

    The girl’s family said that when they woke up in the morning, the girl was missing from the home and they launched a frantic search for her in the vicinity, but failed to trace her.

    They approached the Samata Nagar Police to lodge a missing complaint, and being a minor, the police launched investigations into a possible abduction angle.

    It was only on Friday afternoon that the police were alerted of the tragedy by a local informing about two bodies found lying at the bottom of a hill there. They were rushed to the Shatabdi Hospital where the doctors declared them dead.

    Though no suicide note has been recovered, subsequent police enquiries revealed that the girl claimed to have gone out with a friend, while the boy sent a message to his family saying he was leaving home and would never return.

    The bodies of the deceased were sent for an autopsy and later handed over to their respective families for the last rites.

    Nawazuddin Siddiqui is no more owner of his bungalow in Mumbai

    [ad_1]

    Mumbai: All is not well in Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s personal life. The actor is in a legal tussle with his wife Aaliya Siddiqui and it seems that indifferences between the couple is rearing its ugly head again after Aaliya and her children were barred from entering Nawazuddin’s house.

    The actor’s estranged wife had shared a video on Thursday on Instagram in which she claimed that Nawazuddin Siddiqui had barred her and her children from entering his house. Reacting to the allegations of her wife, the actor, through his spokesperson, has issued a clarification on the matter.

    Actor’s spokesperson has said that Nawazuddin Siddiqui has “already registered the property in his ammi, Mehrunisa Siddiqui’s name”. He said that the decision to not allow Aaliya to enter the house was made by Mehrunisa’s caretaker. The spokesperson added that the house belongs to Mehrunisa and not Nawazuddin.

    “Nawaz is devoid of any decision-making power on anyone’s entrance in the property. But the caretaker of Ammi has said that only kids are allowed in the property and only Aaliya is not allowed as the property belongs to Ammi now,” the spokesperson further added speaking to media.

    According to the spokesperson’s statement, Aaliya’s claim that she and the kids were barred from entering the house by Nawazuddin is baseless and false as the kids are welcome in the house anytime.The spokesperson also informed that Nawazuddin has brought a flat for Aaliya in Mumbai that she has given for rent.

    Watch Aaliya’s video in which she accused Nawazuddin for throwing her and their children out of the bungalow.

    Nawazuddin too was stopped from entering the house earlier, when he came to meet her ailing wife. Watch video

    Nawazuddin Siddiqui married to Aaliya in 2009 and have two children together– son Yaani and daughter Shora.

  • For second day, AAP protests in Mumbai against Delhi Dy CM’s arrest

    For second day, AAP protests in Mumbai against Delhi Dy CM’s arrest

    [ad_1]

    Mumbai: For the second consecutive day, the Aam Aadmi Party protested against the arrest of Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia by the Central Bureau of Investigation in an alleged corruption case, here on Monday.

    On Monday, hundreds of AAP workers staged noisy demonstrations near Churchgate station, after a similar protest outside Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) on Sunday.

    Incidentally, Sisodia’s arrest on Sunday came two days after the AAP’s Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann had come for a high-profile meeting with the President of Shiv Sena (UBT) and Maharashtra ex-CM Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai (February 24), to discuss a common platform to fight the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

    Addressing the gathering near Churchgate on Monday, AAP Mumbai President Preeti Sharma-Menon said that this is a state of ‘undeclared emergency’ in the country and the party would not be cowed down by Sisodia’s arrest and said he was being targeted by the CBI without a base.

    “We were born on the streets of India, protesting against corruption and injustice… If one Manish Sisodia is arrested, crores more like him will emerge,” thundered Sharma-Menon.

    She alleged that on one hand there is Gautam Adani who scammed Indians of lakhs of crores of rupees and there is no action against him by the CBI, and there were many scandals by the Congress during the UPA regime, but the CBI did not act against any of its leaders.

    “On the other hand, Sisodia, who is the architect of Delhi government’s education revolution is being unnecessarily hounded in a fake case… This is an attack on the excellent world-class education being imparted to millions of students by the Delhi administration,” she said.

    Other leaders said that the BJP fears only APP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scared of only Arvind Kejriwal, and they are being targeted as AAP is the country’s fastest growing political party with the capacity to take on the BJP.

    The Mumbai Police had deployed tight security around Churchgate and detained a large number of the protestors.
