Hours after mid-day published its report ‘Caretaker assaults paralysed senior citizen’, the cops in Mira Road finally registered an FIR against Babula Nahak on Saturday evening. However, he is yet to be arrested.

Thanking mid-day for highlighting the incident which forced Mira Road police to register an FIR, the victim’s son Dipak Shinde said, “I had been struggling to register an FIR as the cops were not entertaining us. But once the report was published, the cops reached the hospital, recorded my father’s statement and registered an FIR. The cops were taking the matter lightly despite knowing that my elderly father was brutally assaulted by Nahak. Thank you, mid-day, for the help.”
