NCP: Probe PM security breach in Punjab by sitting HC judge

Flaying the Bharatiya Janata Party for “politicising” the serious issue of breach of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s security in Punjab, the Nationalist Congress Party on Thursday demanded a probe by a sitting high court judge into the full episode.
NCP National Spokesperson and Minorities Affairs Minister Nawab Malik said that the chink in the PM security — handled by the SPG, IB and state police — is indeed a matter of great concern for all.
However, different versions of the same are being given by the Centre and the state governments, even the ruling party Congress in Punjab has joined the debate while the BJP is trying to ‘politicise’ the issue instead of ascertaining who is responsible for the grave lapse, he pointed out.
“Under such circumstances, the matter should be thoroughly investigated by a sitting high court judge to unravel the truth and affix responsibility in the matter,” Malik told mediapersons.
The NCP leader expressed apprehensions that if the probe is conducted either by the Centre or the state governments, it could create ‘suspicions’ and hence it would be proper to hand it over to an incumbent high court judge to bring the facts before the people.
Malik’s statement came a day after the issue came to the fore when PM had gone for some programmes in the poll-bound Punjab, but returned after his motorcade was blocked by agitating farmers.
The Punjab government has contended it happened allegedly due to a route-change by the PM’s motorcade and they had already informed the PMO about the farmers’ agitation.

Mumbai Shocker! 18-Year-Old Found Eight Months Pregnant, Investigation Reveals Minor Boyfriend Involved; Booked Under Relevant Sections

In a shocking case from Mumbai, an 18-year-old girl, found to be eight months pregnant during a medical examination at Cama Hospital, initially gave a false statement to police to protect her boyfriend. The matter came to light after doctors, suspecting she was underage, informed the police, prompting an investigation.
According to the initial report, the victim claimed that while on a trip to Matheran with friends, she was sexually assaulted by an unknown man. She alleged that the man, despite knowing she was underage, forced himself on her at a lodge. Based on this account, the Matheran Police began investigating the case.
The investigation took a turn when police interrogated the victim’s close friend. The friend confirmed that she and another friend had gone to Matheran in July, but the victim had not accompanied them. This directly contradicted the victim’s earlier story.
Confronted with this evidence, the victim admitted in a supplementary statement recorded on September 25 that her initial account was fabricated.
The victim revealed that her 17-year-old boyfriend was responsible for her pregnancy. She stated that he repeatedly engaged in sexual relations with her when she was still a minor, around January or February 2024, at his maternal uncle’s residence.
Based on the revised statements and corroboration from her friends, investigators established that the offence occurred within the jurisdiction of the Wadala TT Police Station. Consequently, the Matheran Police have officially transferred the case to Wadala TT Police for further investigation. The 17-year-old boyfriend has been booked under relevant sections, and further inquiries are underway.

Mumbai: Nurse Reports Theft Of ₹56,000 Ring And Cash From Hospital Locker; FIR Registered In Bandra

Mumbai: A 26-year-old woman working as a nurse at Lilavati Hospital lost a gold ring worth Rs 56,150 and some cash from the hospital’s changing room locker.
According to the FIR, the complainant, Nurse Bhosale, resides in Borivali West. On October 1 at 8.30pm, she was wearing a gold ring, but since the hospital does not allow staff to wear ornaments at work, she removed it, put it in a small plastic box and placed it in her purse which was kept inside the hospital locker. The next day, around 8am, after finishing her shift, she took her purse and got an auto rickshaw to travel to the railway station. When she opened the purse to give money to the auto driver, she discovered that Rs150 and the ring worth Rs56,000 were missing.
Subsequently, she filed a complaint with the Bandra police and a case was registered against an unidentified person under Section 380 (Theft in a dwelling house, or by means of transportation, or in a place of worship, etc.) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
