Shobha Kriplani, an 84-year-old woman, suffered a heart attack allegedly after being intimidated and threatened over a property dispute. Initially a non-cognisable (NC) offence was registered, but after the elderly woman was hospitalised, the police have recorded statements of the victim, but are yet to register an FIR in the case. Kriplani family members have urged the police to book the culprits under Sections 506 and 307 of the Indian Penal Code (trespassing, threatening and attempt to murder).

According to Shobha’s son Anil Kriplani, 56, on Sunday afternoon, Shatrugan Omprakash Singh alias Monu and several others barged into their premises and threatened to harm them if they did not give up their property rights to Anil Jain for redevelopment. Kriplani are landlords of an Udharam Chawl plot measuring about 500 metres at Hemu Kalani Road, Irani Wadi in Kandivli West. Besides the Kriplani clan, 24 tenants are residing on the same plot.
