Malad student claims he was blackmailed, tortured and coerced into gender reassignment surgery; Malwani Police arrest four accused

Mumbai Teen Alleges Abduction, Sexual Abuse, Forced Surgery & Extortion by Transgender Gang

November 14, 2025
Mumbai Teen Alleges Abduction, Sexual Abuse, Forced Surgery & Extortion by Transgender Gang Malwani Police have arrested four accused after a 19-year-old student alleged abduction, torture, blackmail and forced gender reassignment surgery. Malad student claims he was blackmailed, tortured and coerced into gender reassignment surgery; Malwani Police arrest four accused Mumbai | Undercover Editor News Agency | November 14, 2025.A 19-year-old BCom student from Malad has alleged a horrifying series of abuses at the hands of a local transgender gang, including abduction, torture, blackmail, extortion and being forcibly subjected to gender reassignment surgery in Surat. Malwani police have registered a case under multiple serious charges and arrested four accused individuals, while the investigation continues. According to police, the teen—who lives in Appapada, Kurar village—first came into contact with the accused about a year and a half ago. He befriended a transgender individual named Kaveri (alias Kartik Vedamani Nikam), through whom he met Neha Khan (alias Neha Ipte), believed to be leading a transgender group operating in the Malwani area. Blackmail & Threats After Assault The FIR states that on August 5, the student was invited to Neha’s house. Upon arrival, he alleged that Neha, Kaveri, Bhaskar Shetty, and Mahi pressured him to undergo gender transition. When he refused, he was allegedly confined in a room, assaulted, and forced into performing obscene acts while being filmed. The teen claimed the videos were then used to extort money. Out of fear, his mother transferred ₹10,000 to the accused. Over the following weeks, the suspects allegedly continued demanding more money and subjected him to humiliation and violence. He reported being beaten, forced to wear a saree, and made to beg in public. Forced Surgery in Surat In a deeply disturbing allegation, the student told police that on October 28, Neha, her husband Sohail Khan, their adopted son Bhaskar, and others transported him to a hospital near Surat’s Ripple Mall. There, he was allegedly coerced into signing documents before undergoing non-consensual gender reassignment surgery. After returning to Mumbai, his ordeal reportedly continued. He claimed Neha poured hot water on his operated area, forced him to do household chores, and demanded ₹4.5 lakh to “free” him. Escape, Re-Abduction & Police Action The teenager managed to escape on November 4, but was allegedly abducted again shortly afterwards. A vigilant local resident intervened, allowing him to get away safely. He then approached Kurar police station, where a zero FIR was registered and later transferred to Malwani police, who have jurisdiction over the alleged crime location. “Based on the victim’s detailed statement, we have registered a case under sections related to criminal conspiracy, kidnapping, sexual assault, extortion, and forced medical mutilation. Four accused have been arrested so far,” a Malwani police officer confirmed. Police said more arrests are likely as the investigation progresses.

Mumbai Bribery Case: Court Clerk Arrested Taking ₹15 Lakh Bribe; Judge Named in FIR as ACB Launches Probe

November 13, 2025
Mumbai Bribery Case: Court Clerk Arrested Taking ₹15 Lakh Bribe; Judge Named in FIR as ACB Launches Probe Anti-Corruption Bureau officials arrest court clerk in Mumbai bribery case; judge under ACB scanner in ₹15 lakh bribe scandal. Mumbai | Undercoer Editor News Agency | November 13, 2025.In a major anti-corruption crackdown, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Tuesday arrested Chandrakant Vasudev (40), a clerk at the Mazgaon City Civil and Sessions Court, for allegedly accepting a ₹15 lakh bribe from a Bandra-based businessman to secure a favourable court order in a property dispute. The ACB has also named Additional Sessions Judge Aejazuddin S. Kazi (55) in the FIR, showing him as “wanted” in the ongoing investigation Rs 25 lakh bribe demand – Rs 15 lakh for judge, Rs 10 lakh for clerk According to ACB officials, the accused clerk initially demanded a total of ₹25 lakh — ₹15 lakh allegedly meant for the judge and ₹10 lakh for himself. After negotiations, the amount was brought down to ₹15 lakh. Vasudev was later caught red-handed while accepting the money and has been remanded to five days’ custody. Judge named after call during ACB trap ACB Assistant Commissioner of Police Manisha Zende confirmed that Judge Kazi’s name was added to the FIR after the clerk, upon receiving the bribe, called the judge to inform him that the money had been collected. “Vasudev was caught while accepting the bribe after assuring the complainant that the order would be passed in his favour. The judge has been named and further investigation is underway,” ACP Zende stated. Case linked to Bandra property dispute The case revolves around a property in Bandra owned by the businessman’s wife’s company, which was allegedly encroached upon by another party. The dispute was earlier being heard in the Bombay High Court, which stayed proceedings in 2016 since the property’s value was below ₹10 crore. In March 2024, the case was transferred to the Mazgaon City Civil and Sessions Court. On September 9, 2025, when the matter came up for hearing, Vasudev allegedly contacted the complainant, asking him to meet at a café in Chembur. During their meeting on September 12, the clerk reportedly demanded ₹25 lakh, stating that a favourable order could be “managed” through the judge. ACB lays trap and arrests clerk Following multiple follow-up calls from the clerk, the businessman approached the ACB Worli office on November 10 and lodged a formal complaint. The bureau verified the claim and laid a trap the next day.On November 11, Vasudev was caught red-handed while accepting the ₹15 lakh bribe. “Immediately after taking the cash, Vasudev contacted the judge to inform him that the amount had been received. Based on this, both were booked under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act,” an ACB officer said. The ongoing probe is being supervised by Inspector Sunit Dighe under the guidance of Assistant Commissioner of Police Pravin Navadkar.
SC Sets January 21 for Final Hearing on Shiv Sena Symbol Row: Uddhav vs Shinde Battle Nears Climax

SC Sets January 21 for Final Hearing on Shiv Sena Symbol Row: Uddhav vs Shinde Battle Nears Climax

November 12, 2025
SC Sets January 21 for Final Hearing on Shiv Sena Symbol Row: Uddhav vs Shinde Battle Nears Climax Supreme Court of India to begin final hearing on the Shiv Sena’s ‘Bow and Arrow’ symbol dispute between the Uddhav Thackeray and Eknath Shinde factions on January 21, 2026. The Supreme Court will also hear the NCP faction dispute the following day as both cases involve overlapping issues of party identity and legislative majority. New Delhi | Undercover Editor News agency | November 12, 2025:The Supreme Court on Wednesday fixed January 21, 2026, for the final hearing on petitions filed by the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction of the Shiv Sena challenging the Election Commission’s February 2023 order that allotted the iconic ‘bow and arrow’ symbol to the faction led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. A Bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi announced that the court will dedicate three hours each to hear arguments from both factions in the much-awaited political and legal showdown that could redefine the future of Maharashtra’s dominant regional party. The Bench further informed that it will take up a similar dispute involving the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) the very next day, on January 22, given that both matters revolve around the core question of who represents the “real” political party after a split. Uddhav Camp Seeks Urgent Hearing Amid Local Polls Senior advocate Devadatt Kamat, representing the Uddhav Thackeray faction, urged the court to expedite the hearing, citing the upcoming local body elections in Maharashtra. Justice Surya Kant, however, remarked wryly that political parties in India are “always in election mode,” whether for national, state, or local contests — signaling the court’s intention to proceed in a structured manner. On the other hand, senior advocates Mukul Rohatgi and Neeraj Kishan Kaul appeared for the Shinde faction, defending the Election Commission’s decision that recognized their camp as the legitimate Shiv Sena. Long-Pending Case Nears Closure The matter has been lingering since February 17, 2023, when the Election Commission of India (ECI) ruled in favor of the Shinde-led group, granting it the ‘Shiv Sena’ name and symbol after the 2022 rebellion that toppled the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. In July 2024, the Supreme Court had emphasized that the dispute cannot remain unresolved indefinitely, noting the need for finality before major elections in the state. The Uddhav Thackeray faction argues that the ECI’s reliance on legislative majority—rather than organizational strength and ideological continuity—violates the principles outlined in the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968. The Thackeray camp also contends that Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar’s decision to hand over the party name and symbol to the Shinde group was contrary to the Supreme Court’s own Constitution Bench verdict on defections. Political Stakes High in Maharashtra The ruling by the Speaker earlier this year had fortified Eknath Shinde’s position as Chief Minister, with the BJP and NCP (Ajit Pawar group) forming the coalition government. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Shinde-led Shiv Sena secured 7 seats, while in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, the BJP won 132, Shinde’s Sena 57, and Ajit Pawar’s NCP 41 By December 2024, Devendra Fadnavis returned as Maharashtra’s Chief Minister, with Shinde and Pawar serving as his deputies — cementing the Mahayuti alliance’s dominance in state politics. The upcoming Supreme Court verdict, therefore, is poised to not only decide the symbol and identity of the Shiv Sena but also reshape Maharashtra’s political balance ahead of the 2025 civic body polls and beyond.

Mumbai Police Bust Fake International Call Centre Cheating US & Canadian Citizens; Five Arrested

Mumbai Police Bust Fake International Call Centre Cheating US & Canadian Citizens; Five Arrested

November 12, 2025
Mumbai Police Bust Fake International Call Centre Cheating US & Canadian Citizens; Five Arrested Mumbai Police bust a fake international call centre in Mulund Colony that duped US and Canadian citizens through loan scams; five arrested including mastermind Sagar Gupta. Mumbai | Undercover Editor News agency | November 12, 2025In a major breakthrough against cyber fraud, the Mumbai Police have busted a fake international call centre operating out of Mulund Colony, which was allegedly cheating citizens in the United States and Canada through fraudulent loan offers. The police have arrested five individuals, including the alleged mastermind, Sagar Gupta, and seized laptops, mobile phones, routers, and cash during the raid. According to police officials, the racket was being run under the guise of a customer service operation. The accused posed as loan officers representing reputed U.S.-based financial institutions and targeted foreign nationals through phishing calls and messages. Victims were promised quick loan approvals, but were instead duped into transferring money through gift cards and cryptocurrency wallets. “The accused were running a fake setup to cheat US and Canadian citizens by offering them quick loans. They then siphoned off the proceeds through digital channels,” said a senior police official involved in the investigation. The arrested individuals have been identified as Sagar Rajesh Gupta (27), Abhishek Suryaprakash Singh (28), Tanmay Kumar Rajneesh Dhadsing (27), Shailesh Manohar Shetty (27), and Rohan Ansari (28).A search is underway for another suspect, Prashant Rajput from Surat, Gujarat, who allegedly helped the group convert U.S. dollar gift cards into Indian rupees. During the operation, the police seized two laptops, 11 mobile phones, two Wi-Fi routers, and ₹76,000 in cash. The accused have been booked under relevant sections of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act. Cyber Fraud on the Rise The case has once again highlighted the growing menace of cybercrime networks operating from Indian cities and targeting unsuspecting victims abroad. Police have urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious calls or digital loan offers to the National Cyber Helpline (1930). In a related case, a 60-year-old Mumbai businessman was recently duped of ₹53 lakh in an online “digital arrest” scam, where fraudsters posed as officials from the CBI, Delhi Police, and TRAI. The victim was threatened with arrest in a fake money laundering case and coerced into transferring funds under the guise of “security verification.” Authorities are now tightening digital surveillance and international cooperation to curb such transnational scams.
Shiv Sena vs Shiv Sena In Supreme Court: Bow & Arrow Symbol Battle To Shape Maharashtra’s Political Future

Shiv Sena vs Shiv Sena In Supreme Court: Bow & Arrow Symbol Battle To Shape Maharashtra’s Political Future

November 12, 2025
Shiv Sena vs Shiv Sena In Supreme Court: Bow & Arrow Symbol Battle To Shape Maharashtra’s Political Future Uddhav Thackeray and Eknath Shinde face off in the Supreme Court over the iconic ‘Bow and Arrow’ symbol — a battle that could reshape Maharashtra’s political future. Apex Court begins hearing today in the high-stakes battle between Uddhav Thackeray and Eknath Shinde; verdict to have wide-ranging impact on state politics and upcoming civic elections. New Delhi | Undercover Editor News | November 12, 2025.The Supreme Court of India will today begin hearing one of the most politically charged cases in recent years — the dispute over the Shiv Sena’s iconic “Bow and Arrow” symbol — a battle that has come to define Maharashtra’s shifting power dynamics. The case originates from a petition filed by Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) faction, challenging the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) order dated February 17, 2023, which recognised Eknath Shinde’s camp as the “real Shiv Sena” and granted it the original party symbol. The split, which began in 2022 when Shinde led a dramatic rebellion that brought down the Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, has since reshaped Maharashtra’s political landscape. The Case Before the Supreme CourtA three-judge bench comprising Justices Surya Kant, Ujjal Bhuyan, and Nongmeikapam Kotiswar Singh is hearing the matter.Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing Uddhav Thackeray, sought an early hearing, citing the approaching Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and other civic elections beginning December 2, 2025. In his petition, Thackeray argues that the ECI’s decision was “arbitrary and unconstitutional,” claiming that the Commission relied solely on legislative numbers rather than assessing the party’s organisational structure, ideological foundation, and original membership base. He further contends that the legislative majority alone cannot define the real political entity under the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968, and alleges that the ECI ignored key evidence — including the Thackeray faction’s continued influence in the Legislative Council and Rajya Sabha. ECI’s DefenceThe Election Commission, on the other hand, has defended its decision, maintaining that the Shinde-led faction held a clear majority within the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, and that its ruling was based on established precedents of legislative representation. Political ImplicationsThe Supreme Court’s final verdict is expected to have sweeping political implications across Maharashtra.A ruling in favour of Thackeray could reignite his faction’s momentum ahead of the civic polls, while a decision supporting Shinde would further cement the Mahayuti government’s legitimacy led by Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Analysts say the outcome could determine the future course of alliances, electoral strategies, and even leadership within the broader Maharashtra political spectrum. As the hearing begins, all eyes are on the Supreme Court — where the judgment could either redefine the Shiv Sena’s identity or solidify its split for good.

Red Fort Blast Fallout: Mumbai Police Tighten Security, Conduct Citywide Review Across Law, Crime, and Intelligence Units Mumbai Police on High Alert: Officers conduct security checks across the city, including railway stations and public junctions, after the deadly Red Fort blast in Delhi. Mumbai | Undercover Editor News | November 11, 2025. In the aftermath of the deadly blast near Delhi’s Red Fort, the Mumbai Police have gone on high alert, launching an extensive citywide security review involving all major departments — including law and order, crime branch, and intelligence units. Senior officials confirmed that a comprehensive “security audit” began early Tuesday morning across sensitive zones, transport hubs, and crowded public areas. The move aims to ensure that all counter-terror measures are functioning effectively and that there are no gaps in the city’s safety network. A senior Mumbai Police officer said, “At any given time, we have security protocols in place — from monitoring anti-social elements to surveillance of suspects under watch. The current review is to verify that all these systems are active and being followed on ground.” According to police sources, the Anti-Terror Cells (ATCs) of local police stations have been instructed to recheck the whereabouts of individuals already on their radar and to conduct intensified verification drives. Officers have also been deployed at key junctions, railway stations, and marketplaces for frisking and vehicle inspections. “After the Delhi blast, we were directed to step up vigilance at all major entry and exit points, especially near transport hubs and sensitive locations,” an inspector posted in the western suburbs told Undercover Editor News. The Mumbai Traffic Police have also been asked to remain alert for unattended vehicles, heavy-luggage carriers, and suspiciously parked cars. Additional night patrols have been scheduled, particularly around areas of high public movement. Meanwhile, Indian Railways officials in Mumbai were seen conducting checks inside local and long-distance trains, accompanied by sniffer dogs. Random baggage inspections are being carried out to detect any potential threat A senior officer said that the alert level had already been heightened due to the ongoing festive season and upcoming year-end celebration. “Mumbai has always been proactive in security preparedness, especially during sensitive periods. This review is to ensure our systems remain alert and agile in response to national incidents,” he added. The enhanced security drive comes after a car explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort on Monday killed at least 13 people and injured several others. The cause of the blast is still under investigation, but the shockwaves have prompted major cities across India, including Mumbai, to reinforce safety protocols.

📰 Two Mumbai Cops Suspended After Bajrang Dal Complaint; Inquiry Ordered Against Five Officials

📰 Two Mumbai Cops Suspended After Bajrang Dal Complaint; Inquiry Ordered Against Five Officials

November 10, 2025
📰 Two Mumbai Cops Suspended After Bajrang Dal Complaint; Inquiry Ordered Against Five Officials Two police officers suspended and inquiry ordered against five others after Bajrang Dal activists alleged misbehaviour at Oshiwara Police Station in Mumbai. UndercoverEditor News Agency | Editor: Mahesh Rathod |Mumbai | November 10, 2025: The Mumbai Police have suspended two officers and initiated an inquiry against five others after Bajrang Dal activists accused them of misbehaviour at the Oshiwara Police Station. The action follows an internal review ordered by DCP (Zone IX) Dixit Gedam. According to the police order, Bajrang Dal’s district convenor, Shankar alias Rushav Jadhav, along with 10–15 activists, had visited the Oshiwara Police Station to lodge a complaint regarding an alleged incident of misbehaviour with a woman in Jogeshwari. The activists demanded swift and strict action against the accused. While senior police officials assured them that proper legal procedures would be followed, tensions reportedly escalated when the activists remained near the police station entrance. It was alleged that five police personnel shouted at and misbehaved with them, leading to a heated exchange. The Mumbai Police noted in their official statement that such conduct was “unbecoming of the police force and has tarnished the department’s image.” Following the incident, DCP Gedam directed Assistant Commissioner of Police (Bandra Division) to conduct a preliminary inquiry against five sub-inspectors — Ramesh Kengar, Ganesh Gayke, Babu Totre, Deepak Barve, and Azim Zari — and submit a detailed report within seven days. A senior police official confirmed that two of the officers have been suspended pending the outcome of the inquiry, while disciplinary action against others will depend on the inquiry findings. This incident has drawn attention to the growing scrutiny of police conduct and accountability in Mumbai’s law enforcement system.
