Mumbai, June 22: After being accused of infidelity by her husband, a 23-year-old Charkop resident drowned her two-year-old daughter in the sea before committing suicide six days ago. The Charkop police arrested her husband and in-laws of the woman yesterday, after her parents claimed that she had committed suicide due to their torture.

On June 14, the woman, identified as Ranjana Dayal had left her house along with her daughter Gayatri. After failing to return, the former's husband Kishan registered a missing person's complaint.

According to the police, last Thursday, Ranjana took her daughter to Aksa beach. There, she first submerged her daughter and held her forcibly under water until she died and then she committed suicide by drowning. The bodies of mother and daughter were discovered the following day behind the INS Hamla in Malad (W). The police sent a wireless message and learnt about the missing case. Subsequently, the Malwani police registered a case of accidental death.


However, Ranjana's parents who stay in Samta Nagar, claimed on Tuesday to Charkop police officers that their daughter had been forced to commit suicide as she was being harassed and tortured by her in-laws. Based on the statement of Ranjana's father and sister, the Charkop police arrested the latter's husband, father-in-law Lalmohan and brother-in-law Mohan on Wednesday.

Ranjana's father Parisingh said that they are residents of Mumbai, but their daughter had been married to Kishan in Nepal. While her husband resided in Charkop, Ranjana stayed in Nepal, until she returned two months ago with their two-year-old daughter Gayatri. "Since then, Ranjana was being beaten up by Kishan who suspected that she had an affair," said Parisingh.

She had called up her sister Shanti, a resident of Delhi, many times to complain, but Shanti consoled her and assured her that everything would be alright.

"On the day of her death, Ranjana had called me and told me that Kishan and her in-laws had beaten her, accusing her that her daughter was illegitimate. I told her to keep calm until I came," said Shanti.

On June 15 when Shanti learnt about Ranjana's death, she called up her father and told him about her conversation with Ranjana. On Tuesday when Shanti came to Mumbai, they registered a case with the Charkop police.

API Anand Murliyar from the Charkop police station said, "We have arrested four people after we recorded the statement of the victim's father and are now conducting further enquiries."

Noida, Jul 28: A doctor admitted at a private hospital in Noida has been accused of sexually harassing a patient in his isolation ward, where both were undergoing treatment for COVID-19, the police said.

The 20-year-old woman, in her complaint to the police, alleged that the incident took place on Monday and based on that a case was filed at the local expressway police station, they said.

A senior police official said an investigation is underway and there might be lapses on part of the hospital which allegedly admitted a man and a woman in the same isolation ward, in violation of the norms.

The woman and the doctor had tested positive for coronavirus last week, according to officials.

"The woman was in the isolation ward of the private hospital. There was a man, a medical practitioner, who too was infected with coronavirus and was sharing the ward with her," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Noida, Ranvijay Singh said.

He said the woman alleged molestation and upon being informed, the police immediately lodged a case and initiated a probe into the matter.

"There appears to be some irresponsibility on part of the hospital too. We are communication with the medical departments to check whether the patients were being kept in accordance with the guidelines," Mr Singh said.

He said the accused is still in isolation but the police will reach out for his statement following due protocols of COVID-19.

"All necessary action will be taken as per the truth that will emerge after a thorough investigation," Mr Singh said.

Surat, Jul 16: Woman police constable Sunita Yadav, who had a confrontation with a minister's son over lockdown violation which led to his arrest here in Gujarat, claimed she has resigned from service. However, a senior police official has denied it.

Prakash Kanani, the son of Gujarat Minister of State for Health Kumar Kanani, and his two friends were arrested on Sunday for allegedly violating the lockdown and night curfew orders in Surat, a COVID-19 hotspot, a senior police official earlier said.

Yadav, who is being hailed on social media for taking action against the minister's son, told news channels on Wednesday that she had put in her papers.

"I have resigned because I did not receive support from my superior officers. I was only doing my duty as a constable. It's the fault of our system that these people (like the minister's son) think they are VVIPs (very very important persons)," she said.

However, a senior police official here denied that she has resigned.

"She has not given her resignation. The inquiry is still on and technically she cannot resign at this juncture," Surat Police Commissioner R B Brahmbhatt said.

Yadav's action had led to the registration of an FIR and arrest of Prakash Kanani and two of his friends for alleged violation of lockdown and curfew norms in Surat city.

The arrests came after a video of a heated exchange between them and Yadav, who pulled up the trio for violation of curfew, surfaced on social media. The trio was later released on bail.

Since the incident, Yadav is being hailed on social media.

While some social media users called her "Lady Singham" (referring to the tough cop in the Hindi film "Singham"), some suggested she contest the 2022 state Assembly polls against Kumar Kanani, who represents Varachha constituency in Surat district.
