Sharif Rahman Khan
BHOPAL: Sharif Rahman Khan, a 32-year-old software engineer from Bhopal, was shot dead in the US last Wednesday by a local resident who allegedly had a “romantic fixation” with a girl who was Sharif ’s friend, say local media reports.
A section of the media had raised concerns that it was a ‘hate crime’. Sharif ’s family has expressed deep reservations about these media reports.
“My younger brother has been shot dead in St. Louis (Missouri). That’s all I know. I had called the University City police for details, but they refused to share any information unless I showed up there. They say it’s their SOP. None of Sharif’s colleagues have told us anything close to what’s being reported in the media,” Sharif’s elder brother Mukeem told TOI. Sharif ’s mother and brother live in Bhopal’s Subash Nagar area. They have decided to have his last rites performed in the US considering the Covid-19 situation in both countries. Indian diplomats
The accused in police custody in MP’s Morena district.
BHOPAL: A Class XII pass, pretending to be an ‘MBBS doctor pursuing MD’, was arrested while ‘examining’ patients in the gynaecology ward of Morena district hospital on Monday.
The accused, 30-year-old Sanjay Mahor, was arrested once earlier from Ambah civil hospital in the same district in December 2019 after he had performed postmortems, even prepared reports of medico legal cases, and examined hundreds of patients over a six-month period.
He was given bail by high court two weeks ago, but promptly went back to what he knows best, this time 35km away in the district HQ.
