Thane Police have named former minister Jitendra Awhad as the mastermind in the Anant Karmuse assault case, in the third supplementary chargesheet that runs into 500 pages.

Awhad was upset that Karmuse had allegedly posted a morphed photo of him on Facebook.
Case registered against 20 people at Vartak nagar police station
Videos of Karmuse being beaten up had gone viral on social media after which Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs from Thane had filed a complaint with police commissioner demanding quick action in the case. A case was then registered at Vartak nagar police station against 20 people including the former minister, following which 11 persons, including two bodyguards of Awhad were arrested and later released on bail.
Karmuse, who alleged that Awhad was present when he was being beaten up, had then moved the high court and the Supreme Court citing loopholes in the investigation, upon which the apex court directed the Thane city police to thoroughly investigate the case. The latest chargesheet has been filed in line with the directives of the top court, according to a Thane police officer. Contd. on nation

State ready for Zilla Parishad and Gram Panchayat Mahayuti elections: Chief Minister Fadnavis

In the Zilla Parishad and Gram Panchayat elections in Mumbai state, Mahayuti will contest the election as a united front and even where there is no electoral consensus in Mahayuti, there will be a friendly contest and it is hoped that the people of the state will trust Mahayuti in these elections. This claim has been made by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. No formula for the distribution of seats in Mahayuti has been decided so far for the local body elections. However, where the alliance party and the BJP are strong, a formula for a solo contest has been decided, just like the talk of Eknath Shinde in Thana and BJP’s solo contest in Pune is common.
Fadnavis criticized Uddhav Thackeray and said that it is his job to insult him. If he is visiting the state, it is a good thing, but the people know everything and they will restore faith in Mahayuti in the elections. He said that the Election Commission has announced the elections. Uddhav Thackeray and the opposition want to postpone the elections, so they are alleging irregularities and rigging in the voting list. However, the Supreme Court has issued instructions to hold the elections soon, so it is not possible to postpone or delay the elections. Fadnavis expressed confidence that he has faith in the people. This time too, the people will agree with Mahayuti. Therefore, the opposition wants to postpone and postpone the elections, while Mahayuti is ready for the elections.
