Mumbai, Oct 16: In a shocking incident, the body of a young model was found stuffed in a travel bag in a bush near Mindspace, Malad (West), on Monday. The police swung into action and tracked down a 20-year-old student who had allegedly committed the murder.

The victim, Mansii Dixit (21), hailed from Kota, Rajasthan, and had been living in Andheri (West) for six months.

The accused, Muzzamal Sayyed (19), a second year student, told the police Dixit was in his flat when they had a scuffle and he hit her with a stool, inadvertently killing her.

The police said Sayyed had befriended her through a common friend during a get-together.

The Bangur Nagar police station received a call about the bag around 3pm. “Two policemen rushed to the spot and opened the traveler’s bag. Dixit’s face was strapped with strings and her body was wrapped in cushion, with a bedsheet rolled over,” said a police officer.

Almost immediately, DCP (Zone XI) Sangramsinh Nishandar formed a team, which checked footage from CCTV cameras near the spot where the bag was found. After looking at several vehicles, the team saw a cab stopping at the spot and a youngster getting out of it with a traveler’s bag. The team followed the cab’s CCTV trail (from cameras installed on roads) and found Sayyed leaving it after travelling a few kilometers.

CCTV footage then showed Sayyed taking an autorickshaw. After sometime, he alights from it. “He then hires another cab to go to his Andheri residence. We found him alighting from the cab at Oshiwara. We managed to get details of the cab driver and with his help managed to locate the building where Sayyed stays alone,” said a police officer.

Israeli forces invade southwestern Syria, set up checkpoint in Quneitra

News Network

November 24,2025

Israeli forces have pushed over the Syrian frontier, erecting a checkpoint and stopping vehicles in the southwestern city of Quneitra, in yet another breach of the Arab country’s sovereignty.

The violation took place on Sunday, when the troops made their way across the border, setting up the outpost near the Ain al-Bayda junction in northern Quneitra, Syrian outlets reported.

According to the al-Ikhbariya paper, an Israeli detachment positioned itself at the junction, halting cars and conducting searches.

The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that three Israeli military vehicles then moved further into the northern countryside, deploying between the town of Jubata al-Khashab and the villages of Ofaniya and Ain al-Bayda. The agency added that a separate Israeli unit mounted a new incursion in the central region, approaching the villages of Umm Batina and al-Ajraf.

Residents said such activities have surged in recent months, pointing to Israeli advances onto farmland, leveling of extensive forested areas, arrests, and spread of mobile checkpoints.

The Israeli regime began markedly increasing its military aggression against Syria last year.

The escalation coincided with increasingly ferocious onslaughts throughout the country by the so-called Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) Takfiri terrorist group, which the government of President Bashar al-Assad had confined to northwestern Syria. The HTS, however, managed to overthrow the government as the Israeli attacks would pummel the country’s civilian and defensive infrastructure.

Various reports have shown that, during the escalation, the regime conducted more than 1,000 airstrikes on the Syrian territory and over 400 ground raids into the south.

Following the collapse of the Assad government, Tel Aviv also widened its grip over the occupied Golan Heights by taking control of a demilitarized buffer zone, in defiance of a 1974 Disengagement Agreement. Earlier this month, senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, visited the buffer zone, prompting expressions of alarm on the part of the United Nations.

The United States, the regime’s biggest ally, has, meanwhile, been fraternizing the HTS head Abu Mohammed al-Jolani amid the widely reported prospect of rapprochement with Tel Aviv.
