Woman held for allegedly killing daughter

She was reportedly upset over her love relationship with a man from other caste Ulhasnagar: In a shocking incident that has sent shockwaves across Ulhasnagar, a mother allegedly strangled her 19-year-old daughter to death after opposing her relationship with a young man from another caste. According to the police, the accused, identified as Asha Garad, allegedly killed her daughter Amruta Garad in a fit of rage when the latter was preparing to leave home with the man she was in a relationship with. The accused has been arrested by Ulhasnagar Police Station No. 1, and further investigation is underway. According to the police, the incident took place at Bhaiyyasaheb Ambedkar Nagar in Ulhasnagar Camp No. 1, where Amruta Garad lived with her family. She was reportedly in a relationship with a young man from another caste who resided in the same neighbourhood. Her mother strongly opposed the relationship and had repeatedly tried to convince her to end it. However, Amruta remained firm in her decision. Police said that at around 1:30 am on Sunday night, a heated argument broke out between the mother and daughter while Amruta's father and two brothers were asleep in the house. Following the argument, Amruta was allegedly preparing to leave home with the young man. At that moment, Asha Garad allegedly used a scarf to strangle her daughter, resulting in her death on the spot. After the incident, Amruta's father approached Ulhasnagar Police Station No. 1 and informed the police about the incident. Police immediately reached the spot, conducted a panchnama, and sent the body to the Central Hospital, Ulhasnagar, for post-mortem examination. Based on the preliminary investigation, police registered a case against Asha Garad and arrested her. The incident, in which a mother allegedly killed her own daughter, has created widespread shock in the Ulhasnagar area. Further investigation is being carried out by officers of Ulhasnagar Police Station No. 1. While speaking to ‘The Perfect Voice’, Deputy Commissioner of Police Sachin Gore said that the 19-year-old woman's mother was opposed to her love marriage. Following an argument, the mother allegedly killed her daughter in a fit of rage. A case has been registered at Ulhasnagar Police Station No. 1, the accused woman has been arrested, and further investigation is in progress.

Remove minister till probe over: Rohit

Says aircraft owners being ‘shielded’

Mumbai: In more no-holds-barred revelations, Nationalist Congress Party (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar claimed that efforts were on to ‘save’ the VSR Ventures Pvt Ltd company officials after the January 28 Baramati air-crash. He demanded the removal of Minister of Civil Aviation K. Rammohna Naidu till the investigations into the Learjet 45 aircraft are completed.


Making a second presentation in a week, Rohit Pawar brought up issues pertaining to illegal registrations, document tampering, insurance manipulations and video-evidence hinting at a potential deliberate act leading to the air-crash in which Nationalist Congress Party President and Deputy CM Ajit A. Pawar was among the five killed.


“Several leaders of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) of Andhra Pradesh and former ministers from Maharashtra attended the wedding of VSRVPL owner V. K. Singh’s son Rohit Singh. The company is still operating flights and top politicians continue to use the Learjet planes. Instead of trolling me, the Bharatiya Janata Party should support my demand for a transparent probe,” Rohit Pawar said sharply.


The NCP (SP) lawmaker alleged that the ill-fated Learjet was illegally registered in India with help of Directorate General of Civil Aviation officials. According to him, the plane was imported from the USA, owned by five others earlier, was worth barely Rs 10-15 cr., but deployed to ferry VIPs here.


US Registration

He referred to the sudden appearance of a US registration No. N80PQ’ on the plane’s wreckage after the crash which was not visible earlier, and contended that the aircraft was re-painted at home instead of authorized facilities which could cost Rs 3-4 cr.


Rohit Pawar questioned the AAIB’s claim that the Black Box was burnt in the crash and quoting experts, emphasized that Digital Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder can withstand temperatures of up to 1,100 C for an hour. He wondered why the recorder was sent to Canada when India has a Rs. 90-cr lab capable of the analysis inaugurated last year.


Building up pressure, Rohit Pawar contended that the crash may not be accidental, but the aircraft tilted before crashing as it may have been carrying extra fuel that made the explosion more severe and deadly for those on board.


“Instead of turning back, the plane hit the ground directly. Why did it not fall on the runway but veered off to the side? The DGCA norms stipulated 5000 m visibility but the conditions at Baramati that day were around 3000 m. In such a situation, the flight should have aborted landing or returned to Mumbai as alternatives like Pune, Solapur or Sindhudurg may be technically unfeasible,” Rohit Pawar argued.


Diving deeper, the Karjat-Jamkhed MLA questioned the insurance value of Rs 55 cr and liability coverage of Rs 210 crore for the aircraft allegedly worth just Rs 10-15 cr. He raised doubts on the pilots’ licensing claiming that the Captain Sumit Kapur and a company official allegedly illegally operated different types of aircraft without proper licenses.


Flight Plan

Alleging flight plan tinkering by a Mumbai-based handler named Gopi, Rohit Pawar demanded valid CCTV footage, emails and time-stamped data instead of just ‘paper added to paper’.


Warning investigating officers against playing with the documents, he said “any discrepancy between official records and the video evidence” in his possession could lead to serious questions and repercussions.


Rohit lauds aunt Sunetra Pawar

Rohit Pawar welcomed the move by NCP leaders including his aunt and Deputy CM Sunetra A. Pawar, her son Parth, Sunil Tatkare, Praful Patel, Hasan Mushrif, seeking a CBI probe into the Baramati crash. He noted that they had included several issues raised by him in the letter to CM Devendra Fadnavis.


On the political angle, he said there could be a couple of possibilities – speculation that the NCP (SP) would merge with the SP and join the NDA at the centre, or the SP and Ajit Pawar would quit the NDA; but certain forces were upset with either scenario unfolding.
