Neighbours of Anil Chugani, accused of killing his childhood friend's three-year-old daughter, allegedly as part of black magic practice, don't want him back in the housing society. Residents of Ashok Apartment in Colaba say they will seek police help to keep him away from the society.

Talking to mid-day, chairman of Ashoka Apartment, Dilip Sakariya said, "Most of the parents in our society are scared of him. They are scared that he will continue to live here. Many members approached me asking me to take a stern step to safeguard their children," "Today Chugani is in jail, but if he comes out on bail and returns to live in his flat in the society, we will meet senior officers of Mumbai police and seek their help to keep him away. He has been accused of performing black magic and we cannot put our children in harm's way," added Sakariya, who further said that the decision to seek police help was taken in a meeting with society members. Residents want everything in the ambit of law to be done to keep Chugani away.
