    Ready to resign if any MLA from rebel camp demands it: Maha CM Uddhav

    Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray on Monday held an urgent meeting with his close associates at the Shiv Sena Bhavan in Mumbai to decide their future course of action, specially after losing the ‘Shiv Sena’ name and poll symbol ‘bow and arrow’ to the faction led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

    Leaders close to Thackeray, including Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Raut, Subhash Desai, Anil Desai and Anil Parab, were present in the meeting held at the Sena Bhavan located in Dadar area.

    Thackeray has also invited several district level leaders of his camp to discuss the future course of action.

    The Election Commission on Friday recognised the Shinde-led faction as the real Shiv Sena and ordered allocation of the ‘bow and arrow’ poll symbol to it, in the process delivering a big blow to Uddhav Thackeray, whose father Bal Thackeray founded the outfit in 1966.

    The EC allowed the Thackeray faction to retain the name Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) and the flaming torch’ poll symbol, given to it in an interim order in October last year, till the conclusion of the upcoming Assembly bypolls in the state.

    Former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray had on Sunday said all political parties need to open their eyes and remain cautious in the wake of the Election Commission’s decision of recognising the faction led by CM Eknath Shinde as the real Shiv Sena.

    Hyderabad: SpiceJet flight returns to RGIA post glitch

    New Delhi: A SpiceJet flight flying from Mumbai to Kandla returned to the Mumbai airport on Saturday due to a ‘cabin pressurisation alert’. The airline said that the aircraft had landed safely and neither passengers nor crew members reported any discomfort.

    “SpiceJet Q400 aircraft was scheduled to operate flight SG-2903 (Mumbai-Kandla). After take-off, a cabin pressurisation alert came. The pilot-in-command decided to return to Mumbai. ATC was apprised and the aircraft landed safely at Mumbai,” said a Spicejet spokesperson.

    Recently, the Ministry of Civil Aviation in a written reply in the Parliament informed that total 1,090 incidents of technical snags have been reported in various aircraft during 2021 and 2022.

    The reply said that technical snags are experienced during operations of aircraft. These may be due to improper functioning/ malfunctions of systems or equipment or components fitted on the aircraft.

    “Some of the technical snags may require the flight crew to take actions such as air turn back, aborted take-off, or go around keeping safety of operation in view and are usually taken to avert serious incidents/ accidents. Operators take action to rectify the technical snags based on the guidance provided by the manufacturer before further operating the aircraft,” it said.

  • IIT-B student’s death: Mumbai Police quiz kin; candle marches in Guj on Feb 19

    IIT-B student’s death: Mumbai Police quiz kin; candle marches in Guj on Feb 19

    [ad_1]

    Mumbai: A three-member team of Mumbai Police on Thursday met the family members of Darshan Solanki, a student of IIT-Bombay who ended his life on the Powai campus on February 12 – and recorded their statements, a family member said.

    The police called on Solanki’s family members at their home in Maninagar on the outskirts of Ahmedabad on Thursday morning and posed various questions pertaining to 18-year-old Solanki’s sudden death.

    Simultaneously, several student bodies in Gujarat will hold a peace procession which will culminate with a candle-lit march to pay homage to Solanki, the relative told IANS, but declined to be quoted.

    The procession and candle march will be held in Ahmedabad and several other cities of Gujarat between 6.30 p.m. and 9.30 p.m. on Sunday, he added.

    A day before, the distraught family had expressed suspicions of foul play behind the extreme measure taken by Solanki – who hailed from a Dalit family – shocking the educational circles all over the country.

    The police had earlier recorded the family’s initial statements and are now questioning other students and hostelites on various aspects, including allegations of caste discrimination, which the IIT-B management has officially denied.

    A student body on the campus, Ambedkar Periyar Phule Study Circle-IITB, had issued a detailed statement last Monday pointing at alleged caste discrimination, which the IIT-B has rejected outright.

    Meanwhile, Dalit leader and Congress MLA from Vadgam, Jignesh Mevani, on Thursday demanded an investigation by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) into the death of Solanki.

    Mevani told the media in Ahmedabad that the tragic incident involved a Dalit student who got into IIT Bombay after clearing the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) with flying colours.

    The Maharashtra government should set up an SIT to probe the incident because the family suspects foul play, Mevani said. The Dalit leader also demanded that the government should pay Rs 50 lakh compensation to the deceased student’s family.

    Solanki’s father, Ramesh Solanki, has alleged that his son was harassed by the other students because “we are Dalits”.

    “When he visited us during Makar Sankranti, he had complained to his aunt that the other students were harassing him, taunting him that ‘because you are a Dalit, you got an opportunity to study free of cost’,” Ramesh Solanki said.

    In a related development, the students of Mahatma Gandhi Antarrashtriya Hindi Vishwavidyalay in Wardha have sent a memorandum to President Draupadi Murmu urging the Centre to enact a ‘Rohith Vemula Act’ to safeguard students from marginalised communities in nationally important institutions of higher learning and end the suicides that are being reported from there, citing the two cases – one each at IIT-B and IIT-Madras this week – and an attempted suicide case in IIT-Madras.

    Press Club of India condemns I-T surveys at BBC office in Delhi, Mumbai

    New Delhi: The Press Club of India (PCI) has strongly condemned the income tax “surveys” at the office of the BBC in Delhi and Mumbai on Tuesday.

    In a statement, PCI said, “The ‘surveys’ are part of a series of attacks on the media by government agencies in recent times, especially against those sections of the media that the government perceives is hostile to it and critical of the ruling establishment.

    “It is deeply unfortunate as this latest instance appears to be a clear cut case of vendetta, coming within weeks of a documentary aired by the BBC on the Gujarat riots.”

    The PCI said that the documentary, which appears to be the immediate provocation for the raids, has already been banned on YouTube and other social media platforms.

    “We are deeply concerned and distressed that such an action on an international broadcasting network will damage the reputation and image of India as the largest democracy in the world. We appeal to the government to restrain its agencies from misusing their powers in order to intimidate the media and put curbs on the freedom of the press,” the statement read.

  • Hyderabad police arrest drug peddlers, find big Mumbai networks

    Hyderabad police arrest drug peddlers, find big Mumbai networks

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Three interstate gangs that were supplying Ganja or marijuana and peddling other drugs were arrested by the city police in a major bust. The cops seized 204 grams of Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), 110 kgs of Marijuana, a few cell phones, cash and cars, all worth Rs 60 lakhs. The cops managed to get a big lead on the drug supply to the state by tracking down a drug consumer from the city’s HITEC City area.

    City police commissioner CV Anand said that the cops investigated and found one Sana Khan, a resident of Kondapur, who is an IT employee. She reportedly used to consume and sell MDMA in Hyderabad, and the user is what helped the police track the drug network in Hyderabad.

    “She used to travel to Mumbai frequently in the last two to three years, and bought drugs from a supplier in Mumbai named Jathin Balachandra Balerao. She bought 1 gram of MDMA for about 3 thousand rupees in Mumbai and sold it for about 7 thousand in Hyderabad,” said Anand during a press conference on Tuesday. The police investigated Sana Khan and found 40 to 50 consumers in Hyderabad and 70 consumers in Mumbai.

    According to Anand, Jathin procures Cocaine from one Emmanuel Osondu, a Nigerian who was arrested by the Bahadurpura police station earlier. H-NEW and Gopalapuram police officials seized 204 grams of MDMA, 4 smartphones, a Toyota corolla car and things worth Rs 20 lakhs in that case.

    The Hyderabad police commissioner also said information regarding the drug racket obtained during investigations has been shared with the Mumbai Police. 

    “We have investigated for about 2 months and caught 3 modules, this is just the tip of the iceberg but we have discovered crucial information regarding the Narcotics situation in Hyderabad during our investigation. There is an increase in the flow of narcotics from Mumbai and we will conduct joint operations with the Mumbai Police to prevent the supply of drugs to Hyderabad and Telangana,” said commissioner Anand.

    110 Kgs Ganja seized in separate case

    In a case of organised procurement, possession and interstate transportation of ganja from Araku in Andhra Pradesh to Mumbai, the Hyderabad police also intercepted an Innova vehicle and seized about 110 Kgs Ganja, Rs 1.5 lakh cash, 4 cell phones all worth 36 lakhs.

    One Bilkis Suleiman Sheik and her husband Ali Asghar, residents of Mumbai, contacted Murtuza Shaikh, a Zaheerabad resident and ganja seller. Murtuza led them to one Srinivas, a ganja cultivator in Araku. The couple then sent some other persons to purchase dry ganja of about 110 Kg from the cultivator.

    As soon as they reached Hyderabad, Murtuza Shaikh decided to take 20 KG of dry Ganja to Zaheerabad on an RTC bus from Mahatma Gandhi Bus Stand (MGBS). Acting on tipoff, the Commissioner’s Task Force’s east zone team along with the Afzalgunj police station proceeded to MGBS and apprehended Murtuza.

    Anand also said that Hyderabad Narcotics Enforcement Wing (H-NEW) and the Charminar police caught one Mehraj Kazi, a resident of Andheri West, Mumbai, and seized 40 grams MDMA, a phone and other things worth Rs 4 lakhs, in one of the drug busts. “All three cases had connections to Mumbai and there is an increase in the supply of narcotics from Mumbai to Telangana,” he added

    Speaking about H-NEW, deputy commissioner of police (DCP), G Chakravarthy, said that 104 narcotics related cases were registered, and that 212 peddlers were arrested. In total, the Hyderabad police seized 12 types of drugs worth Rs 6.3 crores. 1,076 consumers were caught by the cops.
