Shashwat Mishra, Mumbai Uncensored, 28th December 2021:

It will take 30 years to complete the trial of all the cases registered till last year, this is the state of pendency of cases before the courts as well as the police. These are the findings of the white paper released by Praja Foundation a non-partisan organization working towards enabling accountable governance since 1997 based out of Mumbai, Maharashtra. According to the report, around 2550 serious offenses are disposed of by the courts every year, if we take an average of the cases disposed then it would take 30 years to complete the trial. The report states that a total of 6,329 were disposed of by various courts till last year i.e. 2020, of which, only 3,414 cases lead to a conviction. 

Meanwhile, Mumbai police have registered a total of 50,158 cases throughout the year, if we add up the pendency of the previous year’s cases then by the end of 2020 the number goes to 1,26,921. Out of these the police filed a charge sheet in 21,420 cases and has submitted a final report in 9,437 cases. If we talk specifically about crime against women (CAW) the situation is very grim. In 2020 a total of 25,263 CAW were at different stages of the trial, the backlog of pending cases from the previous year was 22,368. Out of these cases, 121 cases got conviction, while in 329 cases the accused were acquitted. The police registered 4,583 new FIRs in CAW cases, this is in addition to the figure of 10,527 that were already being investigated. The irony here is that the POCSO Act was introduced, it was mandated that the trial in POCSO cases should be complete within a year of the happening of the offense. Another plight is of the undertrial prisoners, according to the report, 297 POCSO cases are under trial for more than three years, while 2,446 are being tried for the last 1-3 years. Looking at the state of our justice dispensation system the situation will take time to improve

The case of a missing 17-year-old Hindu girl from Santacruz railway station has taken a grave turn as her father gives an ultimatum of ‘Fast Unto Death’ if his daughter is not found soon. The girl has been missing since the 23rd of March, 2024, and her father has been tirelessly searching for her.

An FIR was filed by the father at Vakola Police Station, where he also mentioned a person named Arif Shaikh as a possible suspect. However, the police did not include Arif Shaikh’s name in the FIR. Arif Shaikh is also accused in a POCSO case in Surat, adding to the urgency of finding the missing girl.

Despite the father’s efforts and the seriousness of the case, it has been reported that Senior Police Inspector Prakash Khandekar is not actively focusing on the investigation, causing a delay. This has led to frustration and desperation on the part of the family, as they fear for the safety and well-being of their daughter.

In a bid to pressure the authorities into action, the father has written to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) expressing his intention to go on a ‘Fast Unto Death’ if his daughter is not found soon. The family’s plea for swift action and justice in this matter highlights the need for urgent attention to cases of missing minors.

Efforts to locate the missing girl are ongoing, and authorities are urged to expedite the investigation to ensure her safe return. The Hindu community stands in solidarity with the family during this difficult time, hoping for a swift and positive resolution to this distressing situation.

In a disturbing turn of events, religious tensions have escalated in Mumbai’s suburb of Mira-Bhayandar following a series of violent incidents involving minors. The incident, which occurred on the 30th of March, 2024, began innocuously as two minors, one Hindu and one Muslim, were playing a mobile game together.

According to reports, the Muslim minor boy made derogatory remarks about the Hindu faith and abused Hindu Gods, provoking a quarrel between the two. The situation escalated when, a day later, the Muslim minor assaulted another Hindu minor who questioned him about the previous incident.

Subsequently, the Muslim minor, accompanied by five others, allegedly assaulted the first Hindu minor and his brother on separate occasions. The victims sustained injuries and were reportedly beaten severely.

Upon learning of the incidents, the victims’ parents filed a First Information Report (FIR) at the Kashigaon Police Station. Due to the age of the individuals involved, their names have been withheld from the public.

This incident has sparked concerns among the local community regarding the safety and security of minors in the area. Authorities are investigating the matter and have assured that appropriate action will be taken against those responsible.

The situation is developing, and further updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
