This incident comes four days after eggs were hurled at a Ganpati procession in the Mazgaon area of Mumbai, sparking widespread outrage. The police arrested a delivery boy named Danish Sher Khan in connection with the incident.
A viral video taken from the scene shows broken eggshells on the ground. This sparked chaos and tension in the area, with Hindu devotees gathering in large numbers and objecting to the desecration. Later, the police arrived at the scene and pacified the situation.
Meanwhile, the court granted bail to 7 other students involved in the case. The court found that the main allegation against them was 'merely attending' the Saibaba gathering on October 12, 2025.
Faiyaz Premji told the police that his wife left him two years ago, and he believed that the whole world conspired against him. Disgruntled over this, the accused wanted to kill over 15,000 people.
Faiyaz disguised the poison as painkillers and Ayurvedic supplements, distributing professionally packaged sachets near Rehmatabad Cemetery before one victim’s vomiting prompted doctors to alert police and trigger his later arrest from a Dongri hotel.
A massive poisoning plot was foiled in Mumbai after police arrested Pune resident Faiyaz Premji for distributing lethal zinc phosphide capsules under the guise of medicine during a crowded Muharram procession.
