Borivli

A 66-year-old gangster wanted for allegedly killing a builder in Nallasopara in Palghar district in 2003 has been arrested from suburban Borivli, the police said today.

Fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi didn't just cheat banks, but also duped scores of homebuyers. Come Saturday, as many as 75 citizens plan to stage a protest at the under-construction Tatva towers in Borivli East, where Choksi's Gitanjali Infratech Limited was supposed to deliver ready flats to them in 2013. To this day, they have not received thei...

A hush seems to have fallen over Borivli's Chikoo Wadi as a four-day mammoth festival - Vijay Prasthan Utsav that literally means 'path to victory' - ended yesterday. Locals saw thousands of visitors throng the neighbourhood for the Jain spiritual festival. It featured 16 young men and women taking 'diksha', where they renounced the material world,...

Shatabdi Hospital has gone to the rats. In the past week alone, two elderly women admitted in the BMC-run hospital have been brutally attacked by rats - one victim's eye was nibbled at, while the other woman's toe was gnawed on by the rodents.

A 28-year-old woman and her boyfriend were arrested for allegedly stealing valuables and cash worth lakhs from houses of their neighbours in suburban Borivli in separate incidents, police said on Wednesday.

Mohammad Shamim (30) narrates how he hung on to dear life even as his fellow workers fell off an under-construction building in Borivli; with everyone's attention focussed on those who fell, he was left hanging for 15 minutes before help finally arrived; while 1 died, 2 are in ICU and 4 have suffered multiple fractures.

If everything falls into place as per the plans chalked out by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Auth-ority (MMRDA), then motorists will be able to travel directly from Borivli to Gorai in about five minutes.

As soon as we reach the bungalow in Borivli where Radhe Maa had been given the entire fifth floor by her follower, Sanjeev Gupta, we are asked to tie a handkerchief on our heads. When we asked why we should cover our heads, Radhe tells us, "This is not for me, but to pay respect to Devi Mata as this is her temple."

In a chilling chain of events, a 27-year-old received a call last evening, informing him that his seven-year-old son had been kidnapped and, even before he could process the information, he reached home to find his wife lying dead.

The 21-year-old girl, who was with two others when they allegedly beat a biker and she slashed his face with a cutter in a road rage incident at Malad on July 14, said in a Borivli court yesterday that the victim, Irwin Cardozo (29), had molested her. There was a lot of drama in court when she smashed her head against the dock and injured herself.

At a time when most passengers travelling in long-distance trains complain about the rude behaviour of coach attendants, this Bhayander family has a reason to appreciate them.

For days now, Brijesh Sahani's parents have been praying for a miracle, and it seems their prayers have been answered. Doctors at the Karuna Hospital in Borivli told mid-day yesterday that the 16-year-old cricketer, who survived an arrow penetrating his brain, might lead a very normal life if the meningitis infection, caused by the incursion of the...

From four-inch long sleeves and tops that flow seven-inches below the waist to shoes that cover every inch of the foot, a Borivli law college has imposed a dress code on its students that they call 'Taliban-like'

Dahisar's Vijay Manilal Nisar yesterday dodged a gory death and a maiming accident in this gap by less than a hair's breadth.

Catering to the elite, standing five storeys high and boasting of state-of-the-art infrastructure, including air- conditioned classrooms, an in-house swimming pool and more, the JBCN International School in Borivli (W) is caught in the eye of a storm after an RTI response from the civic authorities showed the school had broken several rules to set ...
