MLA Raees Sheikh demands SIR review from Election Commission after Mumbai local body elections, fears massive deletion of voters’ names
Mumbai: After Mumbai Bihar, Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Raees Sheikh has written to the Election Commission demanding a SIR review survey after the local body and BMC elections, saying that if SIR is implemented in the state before the BMC and local body elections, there is a fear that voters will be affected. If the work of revising the voter lists is done during the state local body elections, then there will be no opportunity for political parties and workers to prepare for the elections. As a result, fearing that a large number of voters’ names will be deleted, Samajwadi Party’s ‘Bhiwandi East’ MLA Raees Sheikh has demanded that this program be organized after the elections are over, i.e. in February. MLA Sheikh has written a letter to the Commission in this regard. Giving information about this, MLA Raees Sheikh said that the Central Election Commission has sent a letter to the Chief Electoral Officers of all states and Union Territories on September 25, 2025 regarding the Voter List Revision (SIR) program. There are Supreme Court orders to hold local body elections in Maharashtra by January 31, 2026. Due to this, the administration is busy and there is a shortage of manpower for revision and political parties are planning election campaigns. MLA Raees Sheikh further said that if Special Revision (SIR) of Voter Lists is done in Maharashtra during this period, then the workers and political parties will not be able to focus on each other. This program (SIR) held in Bihar affected 56% of the voters. 25% of the migrants are in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) area and 5.5% in the rest of Maharashtra. Only 46% of voters in the state have a birth certificate and 94% of voters have Aadhaar. As a result, if the SIR is taken up during the election period, it may affect the migrant, Dalit, minority, tribal voters. A large number of voters’ names may be deleted. Therefore, the work of in-depth revision of the electoral rolls (SIR) should be started after the local body elections i.e. after February 2026, before which a meeting of all political parties should be called in this regard. MLA Raees Sheikh said that a letter has been sent to the Chief Commissioner of the Central Election Commission Dinesh Kumar demanding the presentation of this (SIR) program.

Sameer Wankhede targeted in The Baddest of Bollywood; Delhi High Court orders removal of objectionable content from controversial series in defamation case

Mumbai: The Mumbai-Delhi High Court has strongly criticized Red Chillies Entertainment Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan and others in the defamation case against NCB Zonal Director IRS officer Sameer Wankhede and said that artistic freedom does not mean mocking a person. After this, the High Court has ordered that the controversial footage related to Sameer Wankhede be removed from the controversial Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood. Sameer Wankhede had filed a petition in the High Court and pleaded that his character has been killed in The Bads of Bollywood and this series has been made to target him. The purpose is to humiliate and mock Sameer Wankhede. After watching some parts of this series, the High Court has ordered the removal of the controversial parts from the film.
Sameer Wankhede’s lawyer had told the court that the character portrayed in the film is a comparison to Sameer Wankhede and that this series has been created with the intention of tarnishing Wankhede’s image. The Bads of Bollywood is malicious, therefore, the above-mentioned controversial scenes and objectionable dialogues should be deleted from the series, on which the court has issued an order to delete the controversial and objectionable content and content. Earlier, while hearing Sameer Wankhede’s petition, the court had sent notices to Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies, Netflix, Meta, and social media platforms and directed them to file a response. To this, Red Chillies had called the film and series a drama and made it clear that it had nothing to do with the facts. However, despite this, the Delhi High Court inquired whether a film drama does not mean that someone’s character is killed and said this, it reprimanded Shah Rukh Khan and the film company. Sameer Wankhede tried to prove through his argument that the character portrayed in the film resembles Sameer Wankhede and that this character has been portrayed in a negative way to target him and in this, an attempt has been made to make fun of Sameer Wankhede through this character, which has humiliated Wankhede, which the court has accepted and issued a directive to delete the objectionable and controversial content. This is a big success for Sameer Wankhede, while Shah Rukh Khan has suffered a huge setback.
