Man Brutally Killed in Bandra for Opposing Drug Peddlers

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] April 11: Shakir Ali Cendole was just like any other common man in Bandra. He loved his family and lived a quiet life. But when he noticed drugs being sold near his house, he couldn’t keep quiet. His heart didn’t allow him to watch young lives being destroyed. Even though he knew there was danger, he kept complaining and asking the peddlers to stop. He only wanted safety for his family and neighbours.

Attack That Shook Everyone

One dreadful night, everything changed. A group of people entered Shakir’s house in Dargah Gali, Bandra, with sharp weapons. They didn’t come to talk. They came to silence him forever. They attacked Shakir, his sister-in-law Shirin, and his nephew Afzal. His body was left in such a horrible state that words fall short. His intestines were taken out, and his head was smashed. It was not just an attack, it was pure cruelty.

Who Were the Accused

The police acted quickly after the crime. Four people were caught — Imran Pathan, his wife Fatima (also called Kaynat), Usman Zakir Ali, and Zakir Ali Cendole. All of them had connections to drug business. According to people nearby, Imran and Fatima had many cases already. Shakir’s sister Feeroza said that Salman Malik and his wife Soni were the real heads behind the attack. They supplied the drugs, and the Pathan couple did their work.

What Happened Before This Day

This was not the first time the family faced trouble. They had already complained to the police about these people. The threats never stopped. They were scared, but Shakir didn’t want to step back. He believed that one honest person could bring change. Sadly, this brave step cost him his life. Feeroza also said they were even targeted with a fake case earlier, just to scare them into silence.

The Story of Bandra's Dargah Gali

Dargah Gali in Bandra is not new to the problem of drugs. This area has often seen such illegal things happening. Many families live in fear, especially those who try to speak up. The story of Shakir is not just one man’s tragedy. It is a story of courage, fear, and failure of the system. If more people had stood by Shakir, maybe things would have been different today.
