Speak up on Karnataka occupied Maharashtra & statements by Bommai: Uddhav Thackeray to PM

Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT) chief Mr Uddhav Thackeray on the eve of commissioning of the first phase of Samruddhi Mahamarg at Nagpur on Sunday, targeted Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi saying that he (PM) will try to cover up the statement made by Governor BS Koshyari (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is an icon of older times) at the function.
‘’PM will give the slogan Shivaji Maharaj ki Jai. Then he will taunt me while recalling how the expressway was named after Balasaheb Thackeray as the Hinduhruday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray. But I have a request to him that he is the guardian of the country and must not speak like that. The PM must speak about Karnataka-occupied Maharashtra and also about the Karnataka Chief Minister’s claims (over villages in Jat tehsil and Akkalkot and Solapur cities) made out of arrogance. The entire Maharashtra is waiting for your thoughts on Karnataka’s stance,’’ he said in his speech at the Marathwada Sahitya Sammelan held on Saturday.
‘’Samruddhi Mahamarg should be developed. But if Karnataka closes the roads between Maharashtra and Karnataka for Maharashtra what will you say to the government there as Prime Minister? And what relief are you going to give to Maharashtra? Say this first and then inaugurate the expressway named after Shiv Sena Pramukh. Because the Shiv Sena chief himself was in jail for three months for the border issue. Shiv Sena’s position is that Maharashtra must be united with Belgaum, Karwar, Nipani,’’ said Mr Thackeray. He added that the Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena (led by Eknath Shinde) should clear its stand on the border issue.
Mr Thackeray targeted the Shinde camp saying that ‘’If people are being lured by giving boxes and if they want to do politics with boxes, declare that democracy is over.’’ (The obvious reference was defection of party MLAs after the alleged exchange of money, Rs 50 crore (Khoke).
Mr Thackeray slammed the higher and technical education minister Mr Chandrakant Patil for his statement that Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, BR Ambedkar and Karamveer Bhadrak Patil begged to start schools. ‘’If you want to beg for education, do you want to beg even after learning?’’he asked. ‘’Who are you to tell us to beg? In which schools great saints like Eknath, Dnyaneshwar and Tukaram studied?’’he asked while taking a swipe at Mr Patil.

Thane: 55-Year-Old Man Attempts Suicide After Mumbai Police Arrive To Arrest Him For Sexually Assaulting Minor Girl In Badlapur

Thane: A 55-year-old man allegedly attempted suicide after a Mumbai Police team arrived at his residence in Badlapur, Thane, on Tuesday night to arrest him for the alleged sexual assault of a minor girl. The girl is the daughter of a bedridden man whom the accused had been hired to care for.
A police officer investigating the sexual assault case said on Thursday, “The man was immediately rushed to the nearby private hospital, where he lay unconscious for almost 36 hours, and currently his condition is stable.
According to the police complaint, the minor girl’s father suffered a paralytic attack last year. The accused was hired in May to care for him from 8 am to 8 pm. During this time, the man allegedly began sexually assaulting the minor and made obscene remarks after her mother left for work.
Despite being warned by the girl’s mother, the man continued to harass her. On July 28, he allegedly entered her bedroom and harassed her again, prompting the girl and her mother to approach the police.
On Tuesday, the police traced the accused’s location to Badlapur, prompting a team consisting of two assistant police inspectors and three to four constables to reach the spot. Around 10 PM, the man locked himself inside his house and began threatening to end his life. Despite the police’s efforts to calm him down, he allegedly attempted suicide. Officers then broke open the door and rushed him to the hospital, said an officer involved in the investigation.
The Police registered a case against the accused under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act on July 29, following a complaint by the minor girl and her mother, who reported the harassment that occurred on July 28, as reported.

Anti-Human Trafficking Unit Nabs 30-Year-Old For Trafficking Women In Navi Mumbai

Navi Mumbai: The Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) has arrested a 30-year-old man for allegedly running a sex racket using mobile phones to share photographs of women with potential clients and arranging their services. Two women were rescued during the operation, which took place near a hotel in the APMC area of Navi Mumbai.
The arrested accused, identified as Rahul Lakhmeshwar Mahto, was caught red-handed on the night of August 4 after he arrived in a taxi near Hotel Fantasy Residency in Sector 19C, APMC, with two women. He had allegedly arranged a deal with a decoy customer and accepted Rs 4,000 in cash for sexual services. Once the transaction was completed, the decoy gave the pre-decided signal, following which the AHTC team conducted a raid and apprehended Mahto.
According to police officials, Mahto was part of an online prostitution racket operating across Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. The AHTC had earlier received intelligence about the gang’s activities and accordingly laid a trap under the guidance of Senior Police Inspector Prithviraj Ghorpade. The team, including API Yogesh Deshmukh and Police Constable Anil Mandoḷe, posed as customers to initiate the bust.
Investigations revealed that the two rescued women had been sent for prostitution by two other agents, identified as Kamesh and Kurban Ansari, who are currently absconding.
“We have registered a case under relevant sections of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act at the APMC Police Station. We are continuing efforts to locate and apprehend the remaining members of the trafficking network,” a police officer from AHTU said.
