Coconut seller assaults wife with chopper over money dispute
She was rushed to a nearby hospital by her kin immediately after the assault, where she is still fighting for her life.
The incident, reported at Nandanvan police station, stemmed from ongoing arguments over a Rs6 lakh loan Sheikh gave to Reshma's sister six months ago for house construction. Frequent demands for repayment had led to regular abuse and assaults, said sources. Police said Sheikh did not have any past criminal records.
On Sunday, the argument escalated to a boiling point when an enraged Sheikh struck Reshma on the head with the chopper. Her relatives' swift intervention saved her life, rushing her to Vanjari Hospital in Bhande Plot, where she remains in critical condition.
Following the assault, Sheikh was arrested by Nandanvan police based on a complaint by Reshma's brother-in-law.

UP ATS arrests homoeopath from Badlapur for anti-national activities
MUMBAI: The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has arrested two individuals in connection with an alleged anti-national conspiracy aimed at disturbing communal harmony and establishing Sharia law in India. Among those arrested is a homoeopathy doctor, who was picked up on Sunday from his workplace in Badlapur, Thane district. (Shutterstock) The Badlapur East police confirmed that Dr Usama Maj Sheikh, who works at a private hospital, was arrested on Sunday night while on duty. 'The arrest was carried out entirely by the UP ATS based on their investigation. Our involvement was limited to providing logistical support,' said a senior Thane police officer. 'We ensured due process was followed during the arrest and court procedures.' Dr Sheikh was produced before the Ulhasnagar magistrate court, which granted a transit remand until August 8. We informed his family members about his arrest before he was taken to UP, said a police officer. The doctor's arrest comes after the UP ATS recently arrested Ajmal Ali, a resident of UP. Ali was one of the 400 members, many of them allegedly Pakistani nationals, in a WhatsApp group named 'Reviving Islam'. According to the ATS officials, Ali was allegedly promoting extremist ideology to incite hatred against non-Muslims on various social media platforms. When Ali was called for questioning at the ATS headquarters, he confessed to being in touch with several Pakistani nationals via social media. Officials said he also revealed he considered Dr Sheikh in Thane to be his mentor and that they communicated frequently via Instagram and Signal. They added that the two allegedly had 'extremist discussions about toppling India's elected government and replacing it with a Sharia-based system.' Following this, Lucknow's ATS police station registered a case on August 1 under Sections 148 (conspiracy to commit offences) and 152 (acts endangering the sovereignty, unity, and integrity of India) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. Ajmal was taken into custody and sent to judicial remand. An ATS officer said, 'Both of them reportedly promoted violent jihad, with the ultimate aim of carrying out Ghazwa-e-Hind and enforcing Sharia law in the country.' The ATS, in a statement, stated that the duo were also attempting to radicalise Muslim youth by inciting anger and allegedly encouraging them to engage in anti-national activities.

UP ATS arrests two, including ‘doc'from Thane, for Ghazwa-e-Hind plot
Lucknow: The Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) of Uttar Pradesh arrested a doctor identified as Usama Maj Sheikh (24) from Badlapur in Maharashtra. Sheikh, who claims to be a homeopathy practitioner, was taken into custody from his residence in Badlapur East on Monday morning with the assistance of the local police. Earlier on August 2, ATS had arrested Ajmal Ali (19) from UP's Amroha. The ATS said that both accused were in contact with several Pakistani individuals through social media and were part of a larger online network aimed at indoctrinating Indian Muslim youth. Their objective, according to the preliminary findings of ATS, was to incite communal hatred, provoke religious animosity, and prepare ground for a violent movement to establish Ghazwa-e-Hind—an Islamist concept of religious conquest—by spreading Sharia law through jihad. The duo allegedly influenced and provoked young Muslim men to harbour resentment against non-Muslims, encouraging them to join anti-national and criminal activities aimed at destabilising the country, the ATS added. Ajmal was first summoned to the ATS headquarters in Lucknow for questioning where he revealed to have been in touch with his mentor Sheikh and several others in Pakistan. Based on the findings, UP ATS registered an FIR at ATS police station in Lucknow. Ajmal was arrested and produced before a court, which sent him to judicial custody. Following further leads, the ATS also tracked down Usama Maj Sheikh and placed him under arrest on August 4 from his residence in Badlapur, Maharashtra. Under tight security, Sheikh was produced before the Ulhasnagar court, which granted a transit remand. He was brought into custody and is being interrogated further regarding his role in the ideological indoctrination and recruitment of radical youth for extremist objectives, the ATS said. The ATS sources said they are trying to identify other members of the network, including possible foreign handlers and local collaborators. Digital evidence retrieved from seized mobile phones and social media accounts is being forensically analysed. More arrests are likely in the coming days.
