Maharashtra: Shiv Sena-UBT & Congress Leaders Slam Mahayuti Govt Over Delay In Cabinet Formation Amid Parbhani Violence

Published

on

Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson Anand Dubey slammed the ruling Mahayuti in Maharashtra on Thursday for its delay in forming a cabinet amid deteriorating law and order in the state.

“The swearing-in of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister was a mere formality…The state cabinet has not been formed. Who will talk about development in the state? The law and order situation in the state has deteriorated.”

“Violence broke out (in Parbhani city) over damaging the replica of the Indian Constitution. The situation in the state is very unfortunate. We want the state cabinet to be formed as soon as possible so that development work can take place in the state,” he added.

Shiv Sena-UBT Leader Priyanka Chaturvedi On The Appointment Of A Home Minister

MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said that the state government had not appointed a Home Minister and questioned if the state would be run from Delhi.

“The results of Maharashtra assembly elections were declared on 23rd November and it took them (Mahayuti) 10-11 days to decide the name of Maharashtra CM and Deputy CMs. There is no information regarding the state cabinet ministers. Violence broke out in the Parbhani city and we don’t know who is the home minister of the state as law and order is a state subject. The Chief Minister and Deputy CMs are in Delhi. Will the state government run from Delhi? The state cabinet should be formed as soon as possible,” she said.

Statement Of Congress MP Varsha Gaekwad

Congress MP Varsha Gaekwad said that the state cabinet needed to be formed as soon as possible.

“They spent so much on the Swearing-in-Ceremony of Maharashtra CM and deputy CMs, the state cabinet should also have taken the oath. Unfortunately, the state cabinet has not taken the oath…Violence broke out in the Parbhani city. The state government needs to control the situation there…The state cabinet should be formed as soon as possible,” she said.

About The Violence That Broke Out In Parbhani City

Earlier, violence broke out in Parbhani city on Wednesday over the alleged vandalising of a replica of the Indian Constitution.

Special Inspector General, Nanded, Shahaji Umap said, “The situation is peaceful. The people who had gathered here in the afternoon, they had to give a representation to the District Magistrate–those people damaged some shops, CCTV cameras, and hoardings of shops.”

“Later, the police had to use some force to control the situation. We have detained about fifty people. The process of registering cases against them has started. The accused of this incident has also been arrested, and a case has been registered against him. He is currently undergoing treatment as the mob has beaten him–he is a lunatic and undergoing treatment; his mental condition is not good. We have also found the documents during the investigation. So I appeal to everyone to maintain peace without giving much importance to this incident,” he added.

Shiv Sena-UBT Leader Priyanka Chaturvedi Takes A Dig At Mahayuti Govt

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi on Wednesday took a dig at the BJP-led Mahayuti government over violence in Maharashtra’s Parbhani and said that the priority of the government is to stay in power.

She said the state does not have a full-time home minister who has responsibility for law and order.

“It’s a very shameful incident, and the violence that is happening is unfortunate. Today, we are in such a situation that the government is sidelining the Constitution. To date, there is no home minister in the state who has the responsibility of law & order.”

“The violence shows the failure of this government…. It shows the government’s priorities, which is to save their rule and not work for the people of the state,” she alleged.

Parbhani District Magistrate Raghunath Khandu Gawade urged people to maintain peace.

“The police administration is on the road. We have the situation under control; we have called in additional police. So on this, I appeal to everyone through you to maintain peace and tranquillity,” he said.

Mumbai: EOW Initiates Enquiry Into ₹325 Crore Shipping & Logistics Scam

Published

on

Mumbai: A massive corporate fraud of over ₹325 crore has come to light in Mumbai’s shipping and logistics sector. Vishal Mehta, Director of Rushabh Sealink & Logistics Pvt. Ltd., has filed a complaint with the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police, prompting a detailed Preliminary Enquiry.

According to sources, Mehta’s complaint accuses ALX Shipping Agencies India Pvt. Ltd. (a subsidiary of Allcargo Logistics Ltd.), Dubai-based Aladdin Express DMCC, and OEL Express India Pvt. Ltd. of orchestrating the fraud. The complaint alleges that these companies lured him into ship operations with promises of guaranteed profits. Initial transactions appeared genuine, but later, crores of rupees were siphoned off under the guise of new deals.

Major Scam Linked to Ships ‘Leela Mombasa’ and ‘XXH-2’ :  The largest fraud is linked to shipments on Leela Mombasa and XXH-2. The Leela Mombasa was scheduled to dock at Nhava Sheva on August 1, 2025, but instead arrived late on August 13 and was diverted to Oman instead of Djibouti, carrying cargo worth ₹130 crore. Meanwhile, on August 26, Mehta was allegedly extorted for USD 1 million (approx. ₹8.3 crore).

The accused reportedly claimed they lacked funds to move the ships further. Despite payments, the vessels failed to reach on time. Leela Mombasa only arrived at Djibouti on September 15, while XXH-2 was diverted from Jeddah to Karachi and held for 10 days. Adding to the fraud, security cheques issued by ALX and OEL Express bounced—one due to insufficient funds and another due to signature mismatch.

As a result, goods worth over ₹290 crore remain under the accused’s control, causing heavy losses to exporters. Calling it a “well-planned corporate conspiracy,” Mehta alleged that both Indian and foreign company executives were involved. The complaint specifically names ALX Shipping Agencies India Pvt. Ltd., Allcargo Logistics Ltd., Aladdin Express DMCC, and OEL Express India Pvt. Ltd., along with senior representatives including Sandeep Bakshi, Ravi Jakhar, Vikas Khan, Ali Khan, Wing Kit Tsoi (Mr. Andy), Abdullah, and Mohammed Rizwan Sheikh.

“This is not just about one company but about the credibility of India’s shipping and logistics industry,” Mehta said. “We have provided all evidence to the authorities. The involvement of international firms like Aladdin Express DMCC and stakeholders such as Allcargo Logistics, Hutchison Port, and Vikas Khan shows the global scale of the scam. We trust EOW and regulatory agencies will conduct a fair and transparent investigation.”

EOW officials confirmed that a preliminary inquiry has been registered. All individuals and companies named in the complaint have been summoned with documents to record their statements.
