The politics of Maharashtra has now gone beyond accusations and counter-allegations and has turned into personal accusations and remarks, which is not a good sign for Indian politics. Recently, many such statements have been seen. Just yesterday, in the UP Legislative Assembly, the meeting between the Leader of the Opposition and the Deputy Chief Minister is the latest example of this and now the name of Maharashtra State BJP President has been added to this episode. State President Chandrakant Dada Patil was protesting against OBC reservation in the local body elections. In which he made controversial remarks on Supriya Sule, daughter of NCP MP and party’s national president Sharad Pawar, for which the leader of the opposition is criticizing the BJP state president.
BJP state president asked Supriya Sule to leave politics and go home and start cooking in the kitchen. Go to Delhi or somewhere else just give us OBC reservation. This statement of Chandrakant Dada Patil is a reaction to Sule’s statement. In which she had said that the CM of Madhya Pradesh came to Delhi and met someone, we don’t know what happened for the next two-three, for which he got the green signal for reservation. Patil’s reaction has come on this statement of Supriya Sule for which Patil says that when an MP does not know how to meet a Chief Minister then she should not do politics but go home and cook.
Regarding this statement of Chandrakant Patil, NCP leader Vidya Chavan strongly criticized Patil and said that the person who cut a woman’s ticket for his own benefit in the election, is making derogatory remarks, with a woman who has been awarded the Sansad Ratna twice.
Regarding this controversial statement of Patil, Supriya Sule’s husband says that BJP’s thinking has always been narrow about women and this statement is the result of that. “I am proud of my Supriya Sule who is a housewife, mother and successful politician” says Supriya Sule’s husband

Mumbai: Mumbai woke up to bright sunshine and a pleasant breeze on Monday after experiencing light to moderate showers in parts of the suburbs late Sunday night. The first week of October has brought signs of retreating monsoon activity along the Konkan coast, with the intensity of rainfall gradually decreasing across the region.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), weather conditions across Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Palghar, Raigad, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg have largely stabilised after several days of intermittent drizzle and moderate rain. As of October 6, no weather alert has been issued for any district in the Konkan belt, bringing some respite to residents following weeks of unsettled weather.

In Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai, the weather remained mostly stable on Monday morning, with a cloudy yet dry atmosphere. The IMD has ruled out chances of heavy rainfall through the day. Maximum temperatures are expected to touch around 31°C, while the minimum will hover near 25°C. Despite the clear skies, humid conditions are expected to make the day feel warmer and slightly uncomfortable for outdoor commuters.

In Palghar district, the weather is expected to fluctuate between bright sunshine and occasional light drizzle in some pockets, while other areas may experience completely dry conditions. Morning skies remained partly cloudy, with temperatures ranging between 29°C and 31°C. The high humidity is expected to cause mild discomfort in the afternoon hours.

Further south along the Konkan coast, in Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Sindhudurg districts, calm weather prevailed after several days of light rainfall. The day is expected to remain largely dry with gentle to moderate sea conditions. Temperatures in these districts are likely to stay close to 30°C. Residents along the coastal belt may experience humid and slightly warm conditions, especially during midday hours.

The IMD has forecast that light rain may return to some parts of the Konkan and interior Maharashtra from October 7 onward, marking a brief revival of post-monsoon showers. However, for now, Mumbaikars can expect relatively dry and stable weather for the next 24 hours, with clear skies, moderate humidity and calm winds, offering a brief but welcome break from the persistent September rains.

Palghar Crime: Naigaon Police Arrest 35-Year-Old Murder Accused From Ship At Okha Port In Gujarat After Month-Long Manhunt

Published

Palghar, Maharashtra: In a significant breakthrough, the Naigaon Police have arrested a murder accused who had been absconding for nearly a month. The accused, Sunil Kharpat Prajapati (35), was traced and detained from a ship docked at Okha-Dwarka port in Gujarat after a meticulous manhunt.

The case dates back to September 7, 2025, when a dispute broke out between two workers of Synergy Hygiel Company at Kaman, Vasai (East). The deceased, Dilip Saroj, and the accused, Prajapati, had been given money by their employer, Prakash Ghunkar Chamaria, to share expenses for meals. However, Prajapati allegedly withheld the amount from Saroj, sparking a heated quarrel.

According to police, during the altercation, Prajapati assaulted Saroj with a blunt object, inflicting severe injuries on his head, eyes, and right arm. Saroj succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment, leading police to upgrade the charges to murder under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

Given the gravity of the crime, senior officers formed two dedicated teams from the Crime Detection Branch to trace the fugitive. Acting on credible intelligence, investigators learned that the accused had taken shelter aboard a vessel at Okha port in Gujarat. Over 200 ships in the vicinity were thoroughly searched before police located Prajapati hiding on one of them.

He was taken into custody and later confessed to his role in the crime during questioning, officials said. The accused is now in police custody, and further investigation is underway.
