Maharashtra ex-minister Anil Deshmukh walks out of jail to a hero’s welcome

Former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh walked out of the Arthur Road Central Jail here on Wedesday on bail after spending nearly 14 months behind bars, to a hero’s welcome.
Deshmukh, 73, was released after the Bombay High Court on Tuesday refused a Central Bureau of Investigation plea to extend the stay on its order granting bail.
A single-judge vacation bench of Justice Santosh Chapalgaonkar declined to entertain the CBI plea against the backdrop of the regular court’s previous order that no plea for further extension of custody will be entertained, thus paving the way for his release.
As Deshmukh stepped out of the prison gates around 4.55 pm, sporting his trademark dark waist-jacket and white kurta-pyjama, he was greeted with loud cheers, clapping, garlands and showers of flower petals by the hundreds of Nationalist Congress Party activists and top leaders present to receive him
State NCP President Jayant Patil, Leader of Opposition Ajit Pawar, MP Supriya Sule, senior leader Praful Patel, ex-ministers Dilip Walse-Patil, Chhagan Bhujbal, several MPs and MLAs, Deshmukh’s family members with tears of joy streaming down their cheeks, and well-wishers were waiting for over two hours as the release formalities were completed by the ARCJ authorities.
Many NCP activists, men and women were seen dancing, a band played drums to salute the end of his incarceration and others distributed sweets on the road outside the ARCJ.
Appearing overwhelmed at the tumultuous welcome, a cheerful but weary Deshmukh initially folded his hands in acknowledgement at the gathering, declining comments.
Later, at the prodding by NCP leaders and the media, he finally offered a few reactions on his incarceration, stepping onto an open vehicle flanked by several party leaders.
Deshmukh later went for darshan at the famed Siddhivinayak Temple in Prabhadevi in a vehicular procession waving NCP flags, and thereafter he is likely to call on NCP President Sharad Pawar.
Similar scenes were witnessed at Deshmukh’s Nagpur residence with hundreds of supporters and party workers dancing with joy, sprinkling ‘gulal’, and distributing sweets, as they watched the live telecast of his release in Mumbai.

Petrol Pump Employee Attacked With Chopper On JJ Road; One Held, Three Absconding

Mumbai: A 35-year-old employee at an Indian Oil petrol pump on Sir J.J. Road in Mumbai was allegedly attacked with a chopper by a group of four men following a petty argument. One of the accused, Moin Armaan Mohammad Gaus Shaikh (29), a second-hand clothes dealer from Wadala East, has been arrested, while three other unidentified accused remain absconding.
The incident occurred on June 27, when Moin Shaikh arrived at the petrol pump on a scooter to refuel. A minor altercation ensued between him and the complainant, Mohammad Ilyas Shaikh (35), a resident of Shivajinagar and an employee at the station. Moin allegedly threatened Ilyas before leaving the scene, only to return shortly with three accomplices—one of whom was armed with a chopper.
According to the police, the group launched a violent attack on Ilyas with the intent to kill. One of the assailants slashed the complainant’s back, while another attempted to strike near his neck. Fortunately, Ilyas dodged the blow, sustaining only superficial injuries. Another attacker, dressed in black, slapped him, while a second man in a black-and-white checkered T-shirt struck him in the face with a plastic chair, causing a nosebleed. A third assailant punched him, and another created panic among bystanders, causing them to flee the scene.
Senior officers, including Assistant Commissioner Mugutwar, Senior Inspector Kamble, and Investigation Officer Gore, visited the crime scene. The accused were booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code for assault, criminal intimidation, and attempted murder. CCTV footage from the petrol pump has been recovered as part of the investigation.
Moin Shaikh was arrested from his residence in Wadala East. Police records show a prior case registered against him at Wadala Police Station in 2016 under IPC Sections 324, 323, 506, and 34. The weapon used in the crime—a chopper—has yet to be recovered. The injured employee was treated as an outpatient at J.J. Hospital and is reported to be in stable condition. Further investigation is underway to trace the absconding accused and recover the weapon.

Maharashtra Assembly involved in corruption, opposition boycotts T-party

Mumbai: Mumbai Maharashtra government is corrupt and involved in corruption. There are serious allegations like murder on ministers and Mahagathbandhan leaders in this government. They are also supported by the police. Thanedaar Ajit Pawar, NCP faction leader Najeeb Malla are accused of murder and the widow of the deceased has made this allegation in a press conference while the government is unable to take action against these leaders. The law and order situation is very bad and corruption is at its peak while the Chief Minister claims to be a good government.
The leaders of the three parties have three faces and accordingly the law and order situation in the state is bad. Shiv Sena leader and Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council Ambadas Danve has made such serious allegations on the government in the joint press conference of Maha Vikas Aghadi here today. He has criticized the government and accused it of handing over Mumbai to Adani in the name of development and corruption of Rs 3,000 crore. Along with this, the Maha Vikas Aghadi has also decided to boycott the tea party of the ruling party before the assembly session. The government has ruined everything from farmers to ST Mahamandal. Wari palanquins are running but the condition of ST is bad. Pilgrims are traveling in these STs to join the Wari risking their lives. Ambadas Danve alleged that the corruption of the government is at its peak, so we have boycotted the tea party. NCP Sharad Pawar faction’s Jitendra Ahwat, Congress leader Vijay Vardatiwar and Shiv Sena leader Aditya Thackeray also spoke at this press conference. Ambadas Danve said that the government has completely failed to solve the problems of the people, so the government will be asked to answer on these issues in the House.

Local Police Arrest Suspect in Mira Road House Looting Incident

Mumbai: In an unusual turn of events, Mira Road police have successfully apprehended a suspect believed to be involved in a recent house looting incident that had left local residents unsettled. The arrest, which was made early Friday morning, follows an intensive investigation launched after the break-in was reported to authorities.
According to the police report, the incident occurred earlier this week when the occupant of the residential property returned home to find it ransacked. Valuables, including jewelry and electronic devices, were reported missing. The meticulous efforts by the investigating officers, including gathering CCTV footage and conducting neighborhood inquiries, played a crucial role in identifying and locating the suspect.
The accused, whose identity has been withheld pending further investigation, was apprehended after a brief chase and later confessed to the crime during police interrogation. Authorities recovered a significant portion of the stolen items from the suspect’s possession.
Residents of Mira Road have expressed relief following the arrest, praising the police force for their rapid response and dedication to maintaining community safety. “We feel more secure knowing that the police are actively working to protect us,” said one local resident.
This incident has prompted the police to urge residents to enhance home security measures and report any suspicious activities immediately. The authorities have reiterated their commitment to maintaining peace and order in the area.
The suspect is currently in custody and will be presented in court later this week, as the police continue their investigation to determine if he is connected to any other recent burglaries in the vicinity.
