Dubai, June 1: A man who published a woman’s picture on Facebook a year-and-a-half ago was stabbed to death by the woman’s brother on Wednesday, Dubai Police said.

Brigadier Khalil Ebrahim Al Mansouri, Director of Dubai Police’s Criminal Investigation Department, said the suspect stabbed the man at least 10 times and was found in a pool of blood in basement parking in Jafiliya area.

The victim was identified as M.D., a 30-year-old Indian who worked as an accountant in a furnished apartment building.

The victim’s colleagues told police that a man came asking for him by name earlier and took him out. The two went to the basement parking before the visitor was seen fleeing the building in a hurry.

Examination of the body showed the victim was stabbed 10 times in the abdomen, and his facial features were distorted, which led to the conclusion that the killer had a grudge against him, police said.

A watchman of a nearby building said he saw a man running and getting into a white car parked near his building. He said the man was bleeding from a cut in his right hand.

Few leads

Since there were few leads in the murder, the case was discussed with Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan Tamim, Dubai Police Chief, who advised CID to adopt a plan to close in on the suspect, starting with his injury and the need to get treatment, Lieutenant Colonel Ahmad Al Merri, Director of the Investigation Department, said.

The suspect’s picture, taken from the closed circuit television footage in the building where the victim worked, was distributed to all entry points to ensure he does not leave the country.

Ten hours later, a corporal in Dubai International Airport Terminal 3 recognised the suspect, who was checking his bags at the first class check-in counter. The corporal called the witness who first saw the suspect at the victim’s workplace to identify him, and he did.

The suspect told interrogators that the victim used to work with his sister in Kerala and got hold of her personal pictures, which he posted on Facebook and other websites along with obscene comments.

He said his complaint about the victim’s behaviour fell on deaf years when he reported to police in his home country, so he decided to take the law into his own hands in the UAE.

The suspect was referred to Public Prosecution.

February 11,2020

Mumbai, Feb 11: A 65-year-old woman was allegedly killed by her husband over debt and illness in suburban Powai here, police said on Tuesday.

The incident came to light when Sheela Ajit Lad was found dead by her neighbours at Sukh Shanti Co-operative Society at around 9.30 pm on Monday, an official said.

The victim was allegedly killed by her husband Ajit Lad, who hit her on the head with a heavy object, slit her wrists and strangled her to death, he said.

The accused absconded at around 7.30 pm, leaving a note at the crime scene, saying he was going to commit suicide and had killed his wife because he was heavily in debt and she was suffering from an ailment, the official said.

The childless couple lived alone in the apartment, he added.

"On the basis of the note, we have registered a case of murder against Ajit Lad and have launched a manhunt for him. We have not traced him or found his body as he had mentioned suicide in the note," deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Zone X Ankit Goyal said.

No evidence of children’s murder in Muzaffarpur shelter home case: CBI tells Supreme Court

Agencies

January 8,2020

Muzaffarpur, Jan 8: There is no evidence of murder of children in Bihar's Muzaffarpur shelter home, the CBI on Wednesday told the Supreme Court.

The probe agency told the apex court that two skeletons were recovered from the home's premises which were later, in forensic investigation, found to be of a woman and a man.

A bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde accepted the status report of the CBI and allowed two officers to be relieved from the investigation team.

Attorney General K K Venugopal, appearing for the probe agency, said investigation was done on allegations of rape and sexual assault of children and charge sheets have been filed before the courts concerned.

Venugopal said the children, who were alleged to have been murdered, were later traced and found to be alive.

He said the CBI has investigated cases of 17 shelter homes in Bihar and charge sheets have been filed in 13 of them, while in four cases the preliminary inquiry was conducted and later closed as no evidence of any wrongdoing was found.

The probe agency, in its status report filed on Monday, said no incriminating evidence proving commission of any criminal offence could be gathered in four preliminary enquiries and as such no FIR has been registered.

The CBI had also said the Bihar government has been requested to take departmental action and action of cancellation of registration and blacklisting of concerned NGOs by providing them the result of investigation, i.e., the CBI report.

Several girls were allegedly sexually and physically assaulted at a shelter home run by an NGO in Bihar's Muzaffarpur. The issue had come to light following a report by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS).

Following the report, a petition was filed in the apex court seeking lodging of an FIR and court-monitored probe by an independent agency into the allegations.

The plea filed by journalist Nivedita Jha through advocate Fauzia Shakil has sought "registration of FIR and independent investigations or court monitored probe into the affairs of these 14 (other) shelter homes in Bihar mentioned in the TISS report".

The apex court had directed the CBI to probe the offences under the Information Technology Act regarding the video recordings of the alleged assault on girls at the shelter home.

It had also directed the agency to investigate the role of "outsiders who were involved and facilitated the sexual assaults on the inmates", after administering them intoxicants and also against those who allegedly indulged in trafficking of girls from the shelter home.

The apex court had earlier directed the CBI to complete its probe into the alleged murder of 11 girls at the shelter home and asked it to file a status report.

The SC had transferred the case from Bihar to a Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) court in Saket District Court complex in Delhi.

Earlier, the top court had directed the CBI to conduct a probe into allegations of physical and sexual abuse of inmates in 16 other shelter homes in Bihar which were flagged in the TISS report.
