Crime Patrol Sansani (2003) Episodes

Based on real story of Nallasopara, Mumbai 2009
In one of the most disturbing cases of domestic abuse in India, Francis Gomes, a former schoolteacher from Nallasopara, near Vasai in Maharashtra, allegedly confined his wife and three daughters within their home for over seven years. The incident, which came to light in 2009, shocked the nation and raised serious questions about mental health, societal isolation, and unchecked domestic control.

According to reports, Gomes had cut off his family from the outside world under the belief that society would “corrupt” them. The daughters were denied education and social interaction, while his wife reportedly suffered years of silence and submission. When authorities finally intervened—following a tip-off from concerned neighbors—the women were found to be in a malnourished and mentally distressed state.

Gomes was arrested and charged with wrongful confinement, cruelty, and other criminal offenses. The case sparked national outrage and highlighted the urgent need for stronger mental health awareness and community vigilance.
