A theft incident is being claimed in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Standing Committee. It has been alleged that Rs 20,000 in cash was stolen from the purse of Shiv Sena Uddhav Thackeray’s party corporator Lakshmi Bhatia. There has been a stir after the incident came to light. The Standing Committee meeting was held today. Bhatia also attended it and kept her purse in the Standing Committee hall. She left her purse there and went to have food. But after the pleasure of burning incense, when she looked at the purse, the purse chain was open. When she checked the purse, she found that Rs 20,000 had been stolen from it. She informed her fellow municipal corporators about this. But since there was no CCTV at the place where the incident took place, it is difficult to verify the incident. The police have been informed about the alleged theft. The MS department and the security department have also been informed about the incident. Along with this, the mayor, the opposition party and the members of the standing committee have been informed about the incident. After this incident, Lakshmi Bhatia suspected that the purse had been tampered with, she also brought the matter to the attention of other fellow corporators. At that time, Lakshmi Bhatia saw that the money had been stolen from the purse. This is the first incident of theft in the committee hall. What action will the police take in this matter now? It remains to be seen. Lakshmi Bhatia has given her reaction to this incident.
The standing committee is considered the treasury of the municipal corporation, if this is happening in this place, what can we say about security? Lakshmi Bhatia raised an angry question. Meanwhile, MNS group chief Yashwant Kalidar also criticized the municipality over this incident and said, “If the security situation in the hall itself is like this, what will happen to the security of ordinary Mumbaikars?” he said. Due to this incident, the issue of security arrangements in the municipal building has come to the fore once again and the demand for accountability is gaining momentum.
“Today there was a meeting of our standing committee, after the meeting we all went for lunch, at that time my purse was there, some staff were present inside, someone opened my purse and took out Rs 20,000 from my purse, regarding this we met the women of the MS department, we told them the whole incident, so we told them that there are no CCTV cameras there, but there are no CCTV cameras there. The matter came there, we have lodged a complaint with them,” said Lakshmi Bhatia. I met the mayor and everyone else, I told the mayor and the standing committee chairman about this matter, I do not suspect anyone but if the corporators are not safe in the municipal corporation, then what will happen to the rest? All the corporators always go for lunch in five to ten minutes, how right is it to open the purses of women corporators? “Only the cash was stolen, the rest of the charger and other items were kept outside.” Corporator Lakshmi Bhatia said, “I have a fellow corporator who is with me in the standing committee, he has seen how those things were lying. He has also seen in what condition the wallet was when I left and how it was when I arrived. If the wallets of corporators are not safe in the municipal corporation, then what will happen to the general public?”

Mumbai: Mohammad Ayaz, also known as Tanveer, has emerged as the prime accused in a disturbing case involving the alleged sexual exploitation of at least 180 minor girls in Maharashtra’s Amravati district. His arrest has triggered widespread outrage and a multi-agency probe into what officials suspect could be a larger network.

A resident of Paratwada city, Ayaz is accused of luring minor girls through a so-called ‘love trap,’ befriending them via social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Snapchat before allegedly exploiting them. He would take victims to cities like Mumbai and Pune, where he filmed obscene videos.

According to an Media report quoting police sources, over 350 such videos were recorded, many of which were allegedly used to blackmail the victims. Some girls were reportedly coerced into prostitution, while certain videos were circulated online, raising concerns about digital exploitation and wider distribution networks.

The case gained momentum after Rajya Sabha MP Anil Bonde flagged the issue in a memorandum to Superintendent of Police (Rural) Vishal Anand, alleging systematic targeting of minors. Bonde also demanded the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT), warning of protests if swift action was not taken.

Ayaz’s background has also come under scrutiny. He had allegedly been associated with the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen in the past. Social media posts showed him participating in political events and interacting with local leaders, including receiving a letter from party functionary Haji Irfan Khan. However, several such posts were deleted after the case surfaced.

Following the complaint, police acted swiftly and arrested Ayaz, producing him before a court, which remanded him to seven days in police custody. His mobile phone has been seized and is currently under forensic examination, with officials confirming the presence of multiple objectionable videos.

Cops are now working to determine whether Ayaz acted alone or was part of a larger criminal syndicate. The Cyber Cell has been engaged to trace the circulation of the videos and identify additional victims or accomplices.

BJP leader Kirit Somaiya reacted to the sexual exploitation case in Amravati naming it as a ‘SEX Scam’. According to him, the accused and his associates targeted and abused multiple minor girls, aged 16–17, who were attending coaching classes for Classes 11 and 12. Victims from Paratwada, Achalpur, Amravati, and Nagpur were reportedly blackmailed.

Somaiya stated that he has spoken with police officials, MLA Pravin Tayade and MP Anil Bonde regarding the matter. He also mentioned that he has requested Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the case.
