ACB Raids Premises Linked To Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Rajan Salvi, His Family In Alleged Corruption Case

Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) teams, totaling at least four, conducted raids on Thursday at the residence, office, and a business establishment associated with opposition Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Rajan Salvi. The operation, led by Ratnagiri ACB officer Sushant Chavan, targeted Salvi’s home, where his brother Deepak Salvi and an associate were present.
Searches were also conducted at three locations- Salvi’s residence, his brother’s house, and a hotel.
The ACB team, consisting of approximately 20 investigators, initiated simultaneous search operations at three different locations. The alleged case revolves around ‘benami properties’ and involves wealth amounting to over Rs 3 crore, reportedly exceeding Rajan Salvi’s known sources of income by at least 118 percent, according to an official statement.
Being targeted for not switching to Shinde faction: Salvi
Slamming the raids, Rajan Salvi conveyed to the media that he was being targeted for refusing to yield to political pressures and for not shifting allegiance to the ruling Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
He mentioned that not only was his brother Deepak’s home raided, but his wife Anuja and son Shubham were also booked by the ACB. Salvi issued a warning, stating that the government would have to bear the consequences of its actions.
“You can book me in any case, arrest and jail me, but you cannot target my family members in this manner. We are being pressured, but whatever happens, even if they throw me in jail, I will not succumb. The people of the state will teach you a lesson,” Salvi vowed.
He mentioned that the party President and former Chief Minister, Uddhav Thackeray, gave him a call and conveyed his complete support during the ongoing crisis.
‘Arrest me, throw me in jail’: Salvi
Having been questioned by the ACB on at least five occasions previously, Rajan Salvi expressed his frustration on Wednesday, declaring that he was weary of the repeated summons and interrogations by the police agency.
He announced that, moving forward, he would not respond to any ACB summonses or participate in their office interrogations. He challenged them, stating, “Take whatever action, arrest me, throw me in jail.”
Shiv Sena cries vendetta by probe agencies
The ACB’s actions followed the arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) of a close aide to SS-UBT former minister and MLA Aditya Thackeray earlier on Thursday in Mumbai.
Aditya Thackeray, Chief Spokesperson Sanjay Raut, MP, MLA Vaibhav Naik, former Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar, and other leaders criticised the state government for selectively targeting their party leaders through the misuse of investigative agencies.
Raut asserted that both Rajan Salvi and MP Rajan Vichare are being pursued by central agencies due to their refusal to align with the ruling Shiv Sena. He cautioned that the people of the state are closely observing the situation and will respond appropriately in the elections.

Police alert for peaceful Eid-ul-Azha in Maharashtra

Mumbai: Eid-ul-Azha was celebrated peacefully in Mumbai and all of Maharashtra. In Thane, miscreants tried to spoil the atmosphere on Eid-ul-Azha, which was foiled by the police. The police have also taken action against such elements spreading poison on social media. Along with this, peaceful namaz was also offered at the Idgah located at Dogadi Fort in Kalyan. An attempt was also made to ring the bell in the temple located in Fort and at the right time of Namaz, Shiv Sena and Shinde workers gathered and rang the bell, due to which the police took them into custody and prevented the atmosphere from getting spoiled. Police Commissioner Ashutosh Dumbare had made tight security arrangements in sensitive areas like Mumbra, Bhiwandi Police Station, Rabodi Kalyan and Ulhasnagar. In Mumbai too, the police was alert and prepared in the backdrop of Eid-ul-Azha and Qurbani.
Due to the dispute over Qurbani in housing societies, the police had made tight arrangements in such societies where problems had arisen earlier. Along with this, BMC allowed sacrifice in many societies and temporary altars for sacrifice. Muslims performed the ritual of sacrifice with Abrahamic zeal. Apart from this, police guard was also kept on Eidgahs and mosques in Mumbai. Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti reviewed the situation. According to this, the arrangements in Mumbai were completed. Mumbai Police also kept an eye on the miscreants and monitored social media.
Along with this, Eid-ul-Azha was celebrated peacefully in various districts of Maharashtra, Malegaon, Aurangabad, Beed, Osmanabad, Amravati and all over Maharashtra. No untoward incident was reported from anywhere. Police sources have claimed that Eid was celebrated in a peaceful atmosphere and orders for action against the miscreants were also issued, after which sacrifice was done and the splendor of sacrifice was seen everywhere in Muslim localities.

ED took action on 15 places including Mithi river, cleanliness, irregularities, Dino Morea

Dino Morea ED
Mumbai: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has raided 15 places including Mumbai in the irregularities case in the cleaning of the Mithi river. The Enforcement Directorate has also claimed to have seized many important documents related to the case while conducting raids in Mumbai and Kochi. The ED has also raided the house of film actor Dino Maurya. The EOW has registered the first FIR in this case, after which the Enforcement Directorate has now started a parallel investigation. The ED has taken this action under the PMLA Money Laundering Act. Dino Maurya has also been involved in this irregularity. The EOW has also questioned him and his brother.
It is said that Dino Maurya and Ketan are close to Shiv Sena leader Aditya Thackeray. Now Dino’s troubles have increased. The EOW has found many important documents and evidence in the Mithi river corruption and irregularities case in Mumbai, so now the ED has also started its action in the case of misuse of funding and illegal tender purchase in this case. Many Shiv Sena leaders are also in the ambit of ED action, because during the Mithi river corruption scam, Shiv Sena was ruling the BMC, so the scope of investigation has become focused on Shiv Sena leaders. EOW has also made significant progress in its action in the Mithi river corruption case in Mumbai. More revelations are expected after the arrival of ED in this case. EOW has taken action against 13 people in this case so far and has also arrested them. In this, political leaders including BMC officials are also on the radar of ED.

Mumbai: MLA and SP leader Abu Asim Azmi appeals to avoid sacrificing animals in the open on Eid-ul-Azha

Mumbai: Mumbai Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi has appealed to Muslims not to perform Qurbani in the open and also follow BMC and government guidelines. Cleanliness is half of faith, so take special care of cleanliness. Not only this, it is mandatory to follow all the guidelines and guiding principles set regarding Qurbani. Take special care of cleanliness and ensure that the brothers and sisters of the country do not face any kind of trouble on Eid-ul-Azha. This is the real teaching of Islam. Celebrate Eid with mutual love, brotherhood and following Sunnat Ibrahimi. Azmi said that the waste of Qurbani on Eid should also be kept in bags and thrown in the dustbin.
