Relief For Robin Uthappa As Sessions Court Sends 2019 Cheque Bounce Case Back For Fresh Hearing

In a relief to former cricketer Robin Uthappa, the sessions court has sent the cheque bouncing case against him back to the magistrate court for a fresh hearing due to non-compliance with mandatory legal provisions.

Earlier, the magistrate court had initiated proceedings against the firm where Uthappa served as a director in connection with the cheque bouncing case. However, the sessions court has now set aside the summons issued by the magistrate against Uthappa. The court noted that the magistrate court should have carried out a preliminary investigation under the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code to determine if there were sufficient grounds to summon the accused, especially since Uthappa resides outside the court’s jurisdiction.

Accordingly, the sessions court has directed the magistrate court to hear the case afresh.

### Background of the Case

The complaint was filed against Centaurus Lifestyle Brands Pvt Ltd, where Robin Uthappa was a director. It is claimed that Centaurus Lifestyle had engaged Senior Marketing as their sole distributor for their products in Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai.

### Cheques Bounced in 2019

The dispute arose when Centaurus Lifestyle engaged two additional distributors in October 2017 without the consent of the complainant firm. Following a meeting, the complainant returned all stocks, and Centaurus agreed to make the payment.

In July 2018, goods were dispatched, and in February 2019, Centaurus issued post-dated cheques amounting to Rs. 22.22 lakh. However, these cheques bounced in March 2019 due to insufficient funds, leading to the current proceedings.

Mumbai: Businessman Files Police Complaint Against Kurla’s Fauziya Hospital For Alleged Negligence Toward Elderly Mother

**Businessman and Former Maharashtra Minority Commission Chairman Files Complaint Against Kurla’s Fauziya Hospital Over Alleged Negligence**

Haji Arafat Alamgir Shaikh (47), a prominent businessman, former Chairman of the Maharashtra State Minority Commission, and BJP Transport Cell President, has lodged a police complaint against Fauziya Hospital in Kurla. The complaint centers on allegations of gross negligence and mistreatment of his 71-year-old mother, Shama Shaikh, who was admitted for medical treatment at the facility.

**Background of Admission**

Shama Shaikh, who has been living with diabetes for five years and had previously suffered a paralysis attack, was admitted to Fauziya Hospital on September 15 following complaints of vomiting.

**Alleged Fall Due to Safety Lapses**

According to the FIR filed at the VB Road Police Station, on September 16, while Shama was asleep on her hospital bed, she allegedly fell to the floor as the bed lacked safety railings. She sustained injuries to her face, eyes, stomach, legs, and knees. Haji Arafat claimed that although a domestic aide tried to raise an alarm immediately, no nurse or ward attendant attended to her for nearly 20 minutes.

When the hospital staff finally responded, the night doctor reportedly dismissed the incident, remarking, “These small things happen in hospitals. Shift the old woman, we’ll see in the morning.”

**Delayed Medical Attention**

Despite the visible injuries, Shama Shaikh did not receive any medical treatment for over 12 hours. No doctor reportedly examined her until 10 a.m. the following day. By that time, swelling and black marks had appeared on her face and under her eyes, indicative of internal bleeding.

Haji Arafat further alleged that medical procedures were only initiated after his family doctor, Sohail Khan, visited the hospital and insisted on immediate treatment.

**Accusations Against Hospital Staff**

The complaint names hospital director Dr. Anjum Deshmukh, administrator Usman Shaikh, and duty nurses Amisha Mali and Pratima Gupta as responsible for negligence. Additionally, Riyaz Shaikh, a hospital staffer who arrived to conduct an X-ray 24 hours later, is accused of rude behavior toward the elderly patient. According to the complaint, Riyaz Shaikh said in an insulting tone, “Eat later, don’t you understand? I don’t have time for this now.”

**Police Action and Investigation**

Citing neglect, irresponsibility, and inhumane behavior, Haji Arafat filed a formal complaint at VB Road Police Station. Based on his statement, a case has been registered against the hospital’s directors and staff members. The V.B. Marg Police have initiated an investigation into the matter.

Further updates will be provided as the case develops.

‘I Am Deeply Sorry’: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Begs Judge for ‘Another Chance’ and Claims He Will ‘Never Commit a Crime Again’ in Rapper’s Final Plea Before Sentencing

**Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Makes Final Plea for Mercy Ahead of Sentencing**

*Published October 2, 2025, 6:40 p.m. ET*

Sean “Diddy” Combs is making one last plea to be a free man, begging Judge Arun Subramanian for mercy just hours before his sentence is handed down, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

While the prosecution is pushing for the disgraced rapper to serve 11 years behind bars, Combs faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

### Combs Apologizes for 2016 Attack on Cassie Ventura

In a new letter dated Thursday, October 2, and obtained by RadarOnline.com, the music mogul opens with a heartfelt apology for his past actions.

He writes, “I apologize for my actions, and for all of the hurt and pain that I have caused others by my conduct. I take full responsibility and accountability for my past wrongs.

“This has been the hardest 2 years of my life, and I have no one to blame for my current reality and situation but myself.”

Combs then references his 2016 assault on ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles—a shocking incident captured on camera.

“The scene and images of me assaulting Cassie play over and over in my head daily,” he says. “I literally lost my mind. I was dead wrong for putting my hands on the woman that I loved. I’m sorry for that and always will be. My domestic violence will always be a heavy burden that I will have to forever carry.”

### Life Behind Bars: Combs Reflects on His Time in Jail

The “I’ll Be Missing You” hitmaker then reveals the harsh reality of his incarceration at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, where he claims he “has not breathed fresh air in nearly 13 months.”

“Jail is designed to break you mentally, physically, and spiritually. Over the past year, there have been so many times that I wanted to give up. There have been some days I thought I would be better off dead. The old me died in jail, and a new version of me was reborn. Prison will change you or kill you – I choose to live,” Combs writes.

He adds that he has made positive changes during his time behind bars, stating he is now “sober for the first time in 25 years,” and spends his days “reading books, writing, working out, or in therapy obtaining the tools and knowledge to deal with my past drug abuse and anger issues.”

“One of the most beautiful things I have experienced is being asked by my fellow inmates to teach and mentor them,” he shares.

### The Moments He Missed: A Father’s Heartache

Combs also speaks about his seven children, pleading, “I ask you for mercy today, not only for my sake, but for the sake of my children… As I write you this letter, I am scared to death. Scared to spend another second away from my mother and my children. I no longer care about the money or the fame. There is nothing more important to me than my family.”

He goes on to chronicle the milestones he’s missed while locked up: “I have missed my three daughters’ proms and graduations. I have missed taking one of my daughters to college. I have lost the freedom to teach my two-year-old how to speak, dance, play, or be there to console her when she falls down or has a nightmare.”

### A Plea for a Second Chance

In closing, Combs makes one final appeal to the court.

“I would ask Your Honor to make me an example of what a person can do if afforded a second chance. If you allow me to go home to my family, I promise I will not let you down and I will make you proud,” he states.

“Today, I humbly ask you for another chance – another chance to be a better father, another chance to be a better son, another chance to be a better leader in my community, and another chance to live a better life.

“I am writing this not to gain any sympathy or pity. This experience is simply the truth of my existence and has changed my life forever, and I will never commit a crime again…”

### What’s Next for Combs?

Sean Combs faces up to 20 years in prison after being found guilty of two felony counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. However, he was found not guilty of racketeering and both charges of sex trafficking—the more serious allegations.

The Bad Boy Records founder’s legal team has condemned the prosecution’s recommended 11-year sentence as “indecent, and deeply troubling,” calling it “a draconian sentence.”

As the judge prepares to make a ruling, all eyes are on Combs and whether his final plea will sway the court toward leniency.

‘Hand for dad…’: Man confesses on TV about killing parents

**Man Confesses on TV to Killing His Parents and Burying Them in Backyard**

*By Snehil Singh | September 27, 2025, 04:27 PM*

A 53-year-old man from Albany, New York, has made a shocking confession on live television, admitting to killing his parents and burying their bodies in the backyard of their family home.

Lorenz Kraus revealed the grim details during an interview with local TV station WRGB. He confessed to murdering his parents, Franz and Theresia Kraus, eight years ago, claiming that he did it out of concern for their suffering.

**Details of the Confession**

In the interview, Kraus explained how he suffocated both of his parents—using his hand to suffocate his father and a rope for his mother. After the killings, he kept their bodies for three days before burying them in the backyard.

“I did my duty to my parents. My concern for their misery was paramount,” Kraus stated during the interview.

**Health Issues and Initial Investigation**

Kraus cited his mother’s injury from a fall and his father’s cataract surgery as reasons for their ongoing suffering, which influenced his decision.

Earlier this year, authorities began investigating Kraus for alleged financial crimes after receiving a tip in May. The Social Security Administration had requested the police to check on the Kraus parents, as they continued to collect benefits despite having been missing for some time.

**Background and Legal Proceedings**

Lorenz Kraus is a well-educated individual. He graduated as valedictorian from Siena University in 1994 with a degree in political science and later earned an MBA from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Following his televised confession, Kraus was arrested outside the WRGB studio. He now faces two counts of murder and concealing a corpse. However, during his court appearance on Friday, he pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The case continues to unfold as authorities investigate the full circumstances surrounding this tragic event.

Ghazal Mansury’s brutal crime- A complete timeline of events ahead of Snapped

In January 2015, Ghazal Mansury was found guilty of the murder of her 79-year-old mother, Mehria Mansury. Mehria disappeared from her quiet Serra Mesa home in September 2013, setting off a frantic search and leaving her family desperate for answers. While her daughter, Ghazal Mansury, insisted that dementia was to blame, relatives suspected foul play.

Days later, their worst fears were realized when Mehria’s body was discovered near the Barona Indian Reservation. What followed was a chilling investigation that revealed how Mehria’s own daughter murdered her.

### The Murder of Mehria Mansury and the Role Played by Ghazal Mansury

Mehria Mansury was the mother of 42-year-old Ghazal Mansury, who struggled with drug use and lived in the garage of her mother’s home on Amulet Street with her boyfriend, Lucio Moreno. The relationship between mother and daughter was strained, and family members even suspected abuse.

By late 2013, the relationship had grown more volatile, and relatives started noticing signs that something was wrong. On September 23, 2013, Mehria’s brother visited her home and was struck by the sight of her red, swollen eye. She dismissed it as allergies, but within hours, she disappeared, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

When the family could not reach Mehria by phone or at her door on September 24, they became alarmed. On September 25, her relatives reported her missing. Ghazal Mansury told them her mother had gone on a walk and never returned.

### The Search and Investigation

The search for Mehria stretched on for days but initially yielded no results. Suspicion soon fell on Ghazal and her boyfriend, Moreno. When interviewed, Moreno refused to testify in court, pleading the Fifth Amendment, according to NBC.

Investigations into Mehria’s home uncovered troubling signs. Bloodstains were found on her living room chair and walls, all testing positive for Mehria’s DNA, suggesting violence had occurred inside the house. Moreover, detectives learned that Ghazal had conducted online searches for topics such as homicide and how to clean bloodstains.

### The Discovery of Mehria’s Body

On October 2, 2013, following two tips, investigators searched the Barona Indian Reservation for Mehria. Retired sheriff’s deputy Thomas Bennett volunteered to assist in the search. That afternoon, he discovered Mehria’s decomposing body under a tree in a dry gully off Wildcat Canyon Road, a short distance from the Barona Resort & Casino. She was still dressed in a faded nightgown.

On the same morning, detectives trailed Ghazal to a pawn shop, where she had sold a box of her mother’s jewelry. Ghazal admitted to the staff that her mother had passed and said she might need the money for her legal defense.

### Arrest and Sentencing of Ghazal Mansury

On October 3, 2013, Ghazal Mansury was arrested. She pleaded not guilty to murder, maintaining that her mother’s death had been an accident. Ghazal claimed she had accidentally struck her mother with a door, causing a fatal injury, and, in a panic, hid the body.

Prosecutors, however, countered with testimony asserting that Ghazal had strangled her mother and intentionally disposed of the body at the Barona Casino. Deputy District Attorney Paul Greenwood argued that Ghazal’s motive was to prevent her mother from attending a doctor’s appointment the next day, where medical staff would likely have noticed evidence of abuse, according to NBC.

Ghazal’s trial began in early 2015, with the defense clinging to the accident narrative. However, jurors remained unconvinced, and in January 2015, after a day of deliberations, they returned a guilty verdict.

On March 6, 2015, Judge Jeffrey Fraser sentenced Ghazal to 25 years to life in prison. For Mehria’s relatives, the verdict brought some closure and a sense of justice.

### Snapped Coverage

The case of Mehria Mansury’s murder and Ghazal Mansury’s trial is explored in *Snapped* Season 18, Episode 7, which originally aired on September 18, 2016. This episode is set to re-air tonight, September 22, 2025, on Oxygen.

For those interested in true crime stories, the *Snapped* episode offers a detailed look into the tragic and disturbing case of Ghazal and Mehria Mansury.

Court hears arguments on behalf of Samir Modi, police oppose bail plea

At the outset, Senior Advocate Tanveer Ahmed Mir requested the court to hear arguments on camera. Consequently, the hearing was conducted in camera (closed session). The court has listed the bail plea for hearing on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) extended the judicial custody of Samir Modi until October 6. He was produced before the court after the expiry of one day’s judicial custody.

Delhi Police filed a reply on Saturday opposing the bail plea of businessman Samir Modi.

Senior Advocates Ramesh Gupta, along with Advocates Punit Mittal, Shailendra Singh, Ishaan Jain, and Surya Pratap Singh, appeared for Samir Modi. On the other hand, Senior Advocate Tanveer Ahmed Mir, along with Shubham Mahajan and Ravish Thakur, represented the complainant.

During the hearing on Saturday, Senior Advocate Ramesh Gupta contended that a Look-Out Circular (LOC) can be issued within five days of an FIR being registered. He submitted that the FIR in this case was registered on September 10, and the LOC was issued within four days.

It was further submitted that Samir Modi traveled to London on a return ticket, returned from London, and was detained at the airport before being handed over to the police on September 18.

The counsel requested the court to inquire with the police about how an LOC could be issued within four days. Additionally, he urged the court to direct the police to investigate the complaint filed by the accused, alleging extortion by the complainant.

Additional Sessions Judge Vipin Kharb expressed his interest in understanding how the LOC was issued within four days.

On September 19, the Saket Court granted a two-day further remand of Samir Modi to the Delhi Police. He was subsequently sent to judicial custody on Sunday. The court also asked the police to look into the complaint filed by Samir Modi.

The court conducted the hearing on Friday in camera, requesting the media and others to leave the courtroom. Senior Advocate Ramesh Gupta noted that bail plea hearings are typically not conducted in camera. Nevertheless, the court insisted on the closed-door session.

No stay on Jolly LLB 3: Bombay High Court dismisses plea alleging film ridicules judges

**Bombay High Court Dismisses Plea Seeking Stay on Release of Jolly LLB 3**

The Bombay High Court on Wednesday dismissed a petition that sought to stall the release of *Jolly LLB 3*, the highly anticipated courtroom drama starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi. Directed by Subhash Kapoor, the film is scheduled to hit theatres this Friday, September 19.

The plea, filed by the Association for Aiding Justice, alleged that the film ridiculed lawyers and judges. It also objected to the song *Bhai Vakeel Hai*, claiming it demeaned the legal profession.

During the hearing, advocate Dipesh Siroya, representing the petitioner, pointed to a scene where judges are referred to as “mamu,” calling the term derogatory. However, the bench comprising Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad dismissed these concerns outright.

“We have been facing mockery since day one. Don’t worry about us,” the judges remarked while rejecting the plea.

The court was also informed that the Allahabad High Court had already dismissed a similar petition against the film.

Meanwhile, legal challenges to *Jolly LLB 3* are being heard in other states as well. The Madhya Pradesh High Court recently reprimanded a lawyer for filing a case without including the filmmakers as parties. Similarly, the Gujarat High Court instructed a petitioner to consider the Allahabad High Court’s order before proceeding further.

Despite these objections, *Jolly LLB 3* remains on track for its scheduled release on September 19.

Woman admits to pointing gun at ‘terrified’ teen during home invasion

A woman who once represented her state in football has admitted to pointing a gun at a terrified teenager and her sister during a meth-fueled home invasion last year.

Lela Spotswood, pictured in 2016 when she was appointed captain of the Tasmanian team to participate in the national female diversity championships, faces serious charges related to the incident.

The incident occurred on April 30, 2024, when Spotswood and her drug dealer co-accused drove to a private residence in Red Hills armed with firearms. According to Crown counsel Amit Sharma, the pair entered the home through an unlocked door at about 6:10 pm and encountered three occupants—the homeowner and his two teenage daughters.

Mr. Sharma explained that Spotswood pointed her weapon at the “terrified” 16-year-old girl, who was standing protectively in front of her 14-year-old sister. Meanwhile, her co-accused pointed a weapon at the male homeowner and demanded cash and drugs. The homeowner handed over $1,400 after explaining that he had earned the money working in the mining industry.

Evidence presented by the state included a DNA match and CCTV footage of the vehicle used during the incident. Among the items stolen were keys to the homeowner’s Toyota Hilux, clothing, and jewellery.

“It’s an aggravating factor in the offending that it occurred in the presence of children,” Mr. Sharma said during his submissions to the court. He added that the 16-year-old victim feared for her life when Spotswood pointed the firearm directly at her.

In response to the defence counsel’s argument that there were no physical injuries to the victims, Mr. Sharma highlighted the immense psychological harm caused by Spotswood’s actions. The teenager missed significant amounts of school following the incident, and her academic performance suffered as a result.

“The impact was profound for the father,” Mr. Sharma stated. “He had to give up his mining job in Western Australia.”

This distressing case sheds light on the far-reaching consequences of violent crime—not only physical but deeply psychological—especially when children are involved. The court will continue to consider evidence as proceedings move forward.
