‘Whoever Is The PM Then,’ Says Shiv Sena-UBT Chief Uddhav Thackeray In Witty Take On Balasaheb Thackeray Memorial Inauguration
Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, on Friday, visited party founder Balasaheb Thackeray’s under-construction memorial, which will witness the completion of the second and final phase before January 23, 2026.
Asked who would inaugurate the memorial next year, Thackeray wryly said the ceremony will be helmed by “whoever is the Prime Minister then”. “Can anyone predict what will happen in politics tomorrow?” he asked, giving a political twist to his visit. “If there is an NDA government, their representatives might come. Whoever is in power at that time will attend. I was the Chief Minister during the foundation stone ceremony, but now I am not,” he said about the fickle state of Maharashtra politics and voters’ will.
Shiv Sena-UBT Chief Uddhav Thackeray On The Memorial
The memorial is being built at the previous Mayor’s Bungalow near Swatantryaveer Smarak in Dadar. Thackeray said, “Four Shiv Sena mayors have lived in this bungalow. Many important meetings of Balasaheb Thackeray were held here, including those of the Mahayuti alliance. This building is a heritage structure, and it was very challenging to carry out work without causing any damage to it. Preserving its grandeur was a very difficult task.”
As part of its second phase, artists will bring to life the party founder’s life story. “Often asked why he didn’t write an autobiography, Balasaheb said, ‘I am not a man of the closet; I am a man of the field.’ His life was like an open book. However, merely documenting his life is not what a memorial should be. I envisioned a memorial that reflects the values he upheld throughout his life; what he gave to Maharashtra, the nation, and the Hindus of this country. His memorial should continue to inspire and serve the same purpose for many years to come.”

Tiger Shroff firing case: 12th accused sent to police custody till Nov 6

A Mumbai court on Saturday sent Amar, the 12th accused arrested from Haryana’s Sonipat in connection with the firing incident on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, to police custody till November 6.
On Thursday, a special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court had sent 11 other accused arrested in connection with the firing on Shroff’s car to police custody till November 6.
The latest accused was arrested from Rohna village in Sonipat.
Earlier in the day, the Mumbai Police had produced Amar before a court, which sent him to police custody until November 6.
According to officials, Amar is accused of having transferred money, allegedly used in the commission of the crime, online. The funds were reportedly used for various expenses, including the purchase of a motorcycle and booking hotel rooms linked to the case.
According to the preliminary investigation, Amar is a friend and neighbour of Kunal, who was arrested earlier in the case. Police investigations have revealed that Kunal allegedly transferred Rs 40,000 to Amar’s bank account.
Amar subsequently transferred Rs 12,000 to Radha’s bank account, another accused arrested earlier, allegedly on Kunal’s instructions.
The Mumbai Police are investigating these financial transactions to establish the purpose of the transfers and determine the connections between the accused. The money trail is being examined as part of the wider investigation into the firing incident.
Amar, who studied up to Class 10, works at a supplements shop. His parents reportedly earn their livelihood through daily-wage labour.
Meanwhile, Amar’s family has claimed that he is innocent and alleged that he has been falsely implicated in the case.
With nine of the 12 arrested accused reportedly belonging to Sonipat, the district has emerged as a key focus of the Mumbai Police investigation.
The police are examining the financial dealings and personal connections among the accused to establish the sequence of events and identify the roles played by individual suspects.

36-year-old absconding accused arrested from Gujarat in Mumbai non-bailable warrant

Mumbai: The Mumbai Crime Branch has claimed the arrest of a wanted suspect, against whom a non-bailable warrant had been issued by the court in connection with a theft case. The 29-year-old complainant was en route to deliver diamonds, gold jewelry, and cash from his shop when, in front of the main entrance of the Panchratna Building, four unidentified individuals—acting in conspiracy—threatened him with a revolver and a knife. They injured him and forcibly stole the diamonds, jewelry, and cash, valued at approximately 2,048,964 rupees. A case was subsequently registered at the D.B. Marg Police Station. Following further investigation by Crime Branch Unit 2, a charge sheet was filed in court. The 59-year-old suspect involved in this crime had repeatedly failed to appear in court during the proceedings, leading to the issuance of a non-bailable warrant against him. The Crime Branch carried out this operation to execute the said warrant.
Acting on direct intelligence and technical analysis, the police team tracked down the 59-year-old suspect—who was a wanted individual subject to a non-bailable warrant—and took him into custody on October 30th in Gaonpur, Vadodara district, Gujarat. This operation was conducted under the directives of Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti, with the involvement of Joint Police Commissioner Anil Kumbhare, Additional Commissioner Krishna Kant Upadhyay, and DCP Raj Tilak Roshan.

Mumbai Crime Branch succeeds in Mumbai kidnapping case, convicts accused

In a kidnapping case in Mumbai, the accused have been found guilty following the prosecution’s presentation of the case by the Crime Branch. Based on the evidence provided, the court convicted the accused and handed down sentences. On August 3, 2018, within the jurisdiction of the Kurla V.B.

A complaint was filed at the Vinoba Bhave Nagar Police Station, and a case was registered under Section 363 of the Indian Penal Code (Case No. 223/2018). Given the highly sensitive nature of the crime, the investigation was transferred to Crime Branch Unit 4, Mumbai. Subsequently, the case was re-registered by the Crime Branch (Case No. 47/2018), and the investigation was initiated. During the investigation into the aforementioned crime, five suspects were apprehended on August 6, 2018, and the kidnapped boy was successfully recovered. Following the collection of all evidence against the suspects, a charge sheet was filed in court—invoking Sections 363, 364(A), 328, 365, 324, 343, 506, and 120(B) of the IPC, along with Section 37(1) of the PESCO Act.
