Breach of privilege motion against Sanjay Raut for ‘Chor Mandali’ remark

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut’s purported statement labelling the ruling Shiv Sena as fake and a ‘chor mandali’ (gang of thieves) sparked a massive row in the Maharashtra Assembly with demands for a breach of privilege motion against him, as the House saw four adjournments.
Speaking on the issue, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said calling the House as ‘chor mandal’ would not be tolerated and it was an insult to the legislature.
He urged that it was not a matter concerning any individual party or member but an onslaught on the dignity of the House, the elected representatives, it could set a precedent and in future anybody could say anything and get away.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Atul Bhatkalkar moved a notice of breach of privilege motion against Raut terming it as an ‘extremely serious matter’, a slur on the House, the people and the Constitution.
Speaker Rahul Narwekar said that he would fully enquire into Raut’s utterances in the next couple of days and would take a decision in the matter on March 8, and adjourned the House till Thursday.
On his part, a besieged Raut claimed that his ‘remarks were misinterpreted’ but said he was prepared to attend any enquiry in the matter.
Earlier, BJP MLA Ashish Shelar, Nitesh Rane, and others slammed Raut and termed his statement as a ‘betrayal’ of Maharashtra.
Similarly, Nationalist Congress Party’s Leader of Opposition (Assembly), Nationalist Congress Party’s Ajit Pawar termed Raut’s outburst as ‘wrong’, while Sena (UBT)’s Leader of Opposition (Council) Ambadas Danve said his party colleague’s statement was ‘incorrect’.
Amid a huge ruckus on both sides, the House was adjourned for around 10 minutes this morning, followed by at least three more adjournments, and finally at around 1 p.m., it was adjourned for the day.
Soon afterwards, the ruling Shiv Sena-BJP members staged a vociferous protest on the stairs outside the legislature, and raised slogans condemning Raut’s utterances.
Currently on a tour of Kolhapur for the ;Shivgarjana’ and ‘Shivsamvad’ initiatives, at one point, Raut hit out at the rival faction, allegedly saying that “there is a fake Shiv Sena in the legislature, it’s a gang of thieves”.
Referring to the manner in which the Shiv Sena of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is erasing the influence of former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and his son Aditya Thackeray, Raut said that even if they are removed from any post, they will not quit the party, since the late Balasaheb Thackeray had given them many such posts and the party is supreme.
The Sena (UBT) MP also pointed out how his party made a roaring success of the ‘Shivgarjana’ in Dharashiv (Osmanabad) Tuesday, and now this will be repeated all over Maharashtra as the party is getting stronger.
The relations between the Sena (UBT) and Shiv Sena have deteriorated after the Election Commission of India (ECI) last month recognised the Shinde faction as the ‘real’ one and awarded it the ‘Shiv Sena’ name and ‘Bow-and-Arrow’ poll symbol, which the Sena (UBT) has challenged in the Supreme Court, along with other related issues.

Bir Mecca Masjid bomb blast implementation of UAPA

Mumbai: Police has implemented UAPA Act in the Bir Ard Masla Mecca Masjid blast case. On the midnight of March 30, Vijay Agon and Shri Ram Ashok placed a bomb in the mosque and exploded it. This explosion was done with the help of jetliner and detonator. In this case, the police had earlier registered a case under Arms Act and other sections, but after that Muslim organizations had demanded to prosecute the accused under UAPA Act and NSA.
The Beed blast was investigated by the local crime branch, in which the crime branch found that the explosion was very powerful and detonators were also used along with jetliner rods. On this basis, UAPA Act has been implemented on the recommendation of the Crime Branch. Police have registered a case against both the terrorists under sections 16 and 18 of UAPA. Since the Beed blast, Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) is investigating it along with the police. The ATS is investigating the connection and financing of terrorists in this case, including how jetliner rods were made available to the accused and who provided them jetliner rods without license or permit. Along with this, investigation is also going on to find out how many more people and conspirators are involved in this case. ATS said that investigation is going on every aspect and point of the Beed bomb blast, however, ATS has so far questioned many people in this case, including family members and well-wishers of the accused as well as their friends and acquaintances. ATS is trying to uncover the conspiracy before the blast in the Beed Mecca Masjid blast case because before the blast, accused Vijay Agon had released a video and uploaded it on the status threatening Muslims to remove the mosque and only after that the blast took place here. The local police had also registered a case of spreading religious hatred against the accused a day earlier and the mosque was blown up the next day.

Actor Ajaz Khan’s Wife Fallon Guliwala Granted Bail in Drugs Case

Mumbai: Fallon Guliwala, wife of actor Ajaz Khan, who was arrested in November 2024 after narcotics were recovered from her residence, has been granted bail by a special court in Mumbai.
Guliwala had been in custody for over four months. The court has imposed certain conditions for her bail, including the submission of her passport, a restriction on travel, and mandatory attendance before the investigating officer three times a week until the chargesheet is filed.
Her lawyer, Ayaz Khan, argued that she was unaware of the recovered items and that she was not the only occupant of the premises. He also mentioned that the CCTV system was turned off during the raid, and no videography or photography was conducted.
Special Public Prosecutor Vibhavari Pathak opposed the bail plea, stating that a prima facie case existed against Guliwala.
Considering that the seizure process had already been completed, the court granted bail but with strict conditions.
