In a case of gruesome honour killing, a 23-year-old man was murdered on Friday near Nagpur’s Yashodhara Nagar by family members of a woman he had eloped with and then married. While the victim has been identified as Nitesh alias Chottu Kalya Yadav Satotia, the woman has been identified as Saba Parveen.

As per the cops, Nitesh and Parveen, who are the residents of Dhammadeep Nagar and Vitta Bhatti Road respectively, had an affair since many years. In the month of February in 2020, Nitesh and Parveen fled their respective houses but were forced to return a few days later.

However, in March, with the help of a friend, the two again eloped, married each other and started living at a friends place in Mansar. Ten days later, Parveens mother called her and asked her to visit the house citing her maternal uncles ill health.

Believing her mother, Parveen immediately rushed to her house and never returned back. When Nitesh visited Parveens house a couple of times, he was humiliated by her family members and was asked to leave the place.

As Nitesh left on Friday evening again from Parveens house, four of Parveens family members thrashed Nitesh with bricks and ultimately killed him with a sword.

The four accused have been identified as Sheikh Naushad, Ayan Pathan, Sheikh Shahrukh and Altaf Pathan. Nagpur Police have registered a complaint against the accused under sections 302, 143, 144, 147, 148, 149 and 135 of the IPC.

Some unknown miscreants in Nagpur vandalised Bishop Cotton School situated on VIP in Dharampeth during the weekend. Apart from the broken plant pots and damaged earthing wires, empty alcohol bottles could also be seen thrown on the floor of the classrooms.

Prima facie it seems some drunkards might have used the school as their hang out place to consume alcohol as it was a weekend and the school was closed. However, nothing could be ascertained as of now; the investigation on the same is on.

When Nation Next spoke to Sonia Singh, Principal at Bishop Cotton School, she told us, What kind of a mentality is this Such people should at least spare kids. It’s so disheartening to see something like this. Class 10 students had their board exams today; unfortunately, we couldn’t indulge them much.”

Singh added, “All the pots have been broken, the earthing wires for the newly installed water cooler for kids has also been damaged.”

However, Singh, who filed an FIR at Sitabuld Police Station today, said, this wasn’t the first such incident; even during lockdown, some miscreants had stolen printers and other property of the school.

Enforcement Directorate (ED) took the custody of RTI activist advocate Satish Ukey and his brother Pradeep Ukey after raiding the former’s residence at Parvati Nagar in Nagpur on Thursday morning at 7 am. Satish, who is also the lawyer of MPCC President Nana Patole, had filed an election petition against former Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Devendra Fadnavis.

Ukey had alleged that Fadnavis hadn’t disclosed pending criminal cases against him while filing his nomination papers for the 2009 and 2014 Assembly elections, and thus violated the Representation of People’s Act, 1951. For the past few years, Ukey had also been filing petitions in court against several BJP leaders.

During the raid, an army of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel was also deployed under his house. The crime branch had issued a notice to Ukey regarding a land transaction in Nagpur.
