Amit Thackeray backs cousin Aaditya after he's named in FIR in Disha Salian case

Amit Thackeray backs cousin Aaditya after he's named in FIR in Disha Salian case Amit Thackeray backs cousin Aaditya after he's named in FIR in Disha Salian case Raj Thackeray's son, Amit, backed his cousin Aaditya Thackeray in the Disha Salian death case, saying that the latter could never be involved in such a matter. His backing came as the CBI opened a fresh probe and named Aaditya in the FIR after the Bombay High Court's intervention. MNS leader Amit Thackeray on Friday defended his cousin and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray, saying he could never be involved in the Disha Salian death case. His remarks came days after Aaditya said he had never known or met Salian and alleged that political rivals were trying to damage his reputation by linking him to the case. The remarks came as the CBI registered an FIR in the case, without naming any accused, in line with Bombay High Court directions on a petition filed by Salian's father. The High Court had earlier ordered a CBI probe and criticised the Mumbai Police for not registering an FIR for six years. Speaking to reporters, Amit Thackeray, son of MNS chief Raj Thackeray, said, "I don't know how to look at this, but as a brother I can tell you that Aaditya can never be involved in such a thing." Disha Salian, the 28-year-old former manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, died on June 8, 2020, after falling from the 12th floor of a residential building in Mumbai's Malad area. The Mumbai Police had registered an accidental death report and later said, after an inquiry, that it was a case of suicide.

A month before Gurgaon hit-and-run case, men chased, harassed Bhopal biker

A month before Gurgaon hit-and-run case, men chased, harassed Bhopal biker BHOPAL: Nearly a month before a woman biker’s hit-and-run incident in Gurgaon sparked widespread outrage, 23-year-old Bhopal-based biker, Abida Rana, had faced a similar ordeal in the city, with two men in a car chasing her for around 600-700 metres, abusing and repeatedly blocking her way. The ordeal took place on Aug 2 on Nabibagh Road, under Nishatpura police station limits. Abida had shared a video of the Bhopal ordeal on her Instagram handle on Aug 5, which is being widely circulated now. According to Abida, she was around 5 km from home when on the Nishatpura-Nabibagh stretch, two men crossing the road allegedly stopped their car in the middle of the road near the divider and began abusing her without any apparent reason. One of the men allegedly shouted, “Ab nikaal ke bata gadi.” With vehicles behind her honking, Abida said she was forced to move around the car from the left side. The men allegedly changed course and started following her, and repeatedly blocking her way. Abida said she became panicked and angry and told the men that the police station was only 1-2 km away and warned them that she would complain if they continued following and threatening her. When she tried to drive away, the men allegedly blocked her path from the right side as well.

Over 37 lakh appeals pending after Bengal SIR: EC tells Supreme Court

Over 37 lakh appeals pending after Bengal SIR: EC tells Supreme Court NEW DELHI: The Election Commission on Friday told the Supreme Court that over 37 lakh appeals against the deletion or inclusion of names in West Bengal electoral rolls under the Special Intensive Revision remain pending.The poll panel told the apex court in its response affidavit that tribunals appointed by the court have disposed of only about 1.02 lakh of the 38.20 lakh appeals filed so far.This comes after a bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymala Bagchi and V Mohana sought the poll panel's response to a plea seeking disclosure of assembly constituency-wise data on claims and objections filed by voters whose names were deleted during the SIR exercise.A total of 38,20,683 appeals had been filed against orders relating to the SIR of electoral rolls. Of these, 1,02,231 appeals had been disposed of, leaving 37,18,452 pending, the poll panel said.The affidavit, however, did not provide a break-up of the appeals filed by electors whose names were deleted and those filed against the inclusion of names in the electoral rolls.Prasenjit Bose, who filed the affidavit, claimed that more than 58 lakh electors were excluded during the enumeration phase of the SIR exercise in West Bengal. He added that while 9.64 lakh applications for inclusion (Forms 6 and 6A) and over 99,000 applications for deletion (Form 7) were received during the claims and objections phase, only around 1.82 lakh additions were reflected in the final electoral roll published on February 28.On August 25, the top court directed the Election Commission to submit data on the pendency and disposal of appeals before tribunals challenging exclusion or inclusion in electoral rolls.Observing that these appeals needed to be adjudicated in a time-bound manner, the bench had asked the poll panel to…

Buying digital gold? RBI, Sebi may soon tighten rules around your investment

RBI, Sebi may soon tighten rules around your investment Buying digital gold? RBI, Sebi may soon tighten rules around your investment Digital gold has become a popular way to invest in small amounts, but the rules around it could soon change. The government is considering formal regulation of the segment, including possible RBI and Sebi oversight. The government is looking at tighter rules for digital gold, with a proposal to make sure every unit sold to investors is backed by physical gold. The move could also bring the sector under the joint oversight of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), reported The Economic Times. People familiar with the matter said the finance ministry has sought views from regulators, banks and other stakeholders on how digital gold should be regulated. There is broad consensus among stakeholders that digital gold should be recognised as a security under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, they said. SEBI HAD FLAGGED RISKS AROUND DIGITAL GOLD The move comes after Sebi raised concerns about digital gold in 2025 and warned investors about dealing in such products.

5. West Bengal SIR: Over 37 lakh appeals stuck in Tribunals as Municipal polls draw near

West Bengal SIR: Over 37 lakh appeals stuck in Tribunals as Municipal polls draw near

West Bengal SIR: Over 37 lakh appeals stuck in Tribunals as Municipal polls draw near The Election Commission of India (EC) has informed the Supreme Court that over 37 lakh of a total 38 lakh appeals arising out of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in West Bengal are still pending in 19 Tribunals. The EC said that only 1,02,231 appeals have been disposed of so far. Over six months have passed since the Supreme Court constituted the Appellate Tribunals. The Municipal elections in the State are drawing near even as voters’ fate remains in limbo. The EC affidavit covers appeals across 24 districts in West Bengal. It said 38,20,683 appeals were submitted regarding both inclusions and exclusions of voters from the West Bengal electoral roll during the SIR exercise. The statistics have come out following a Supreme Court order after petitioners had complained that the details of the tribunals’ pendency and disposal rates continue to be a closely guarded secret instead of being out there in the public domain. On August 28, senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan and advocate Neha Rathi, appearing for petitioner Prasenjit Bose, chairperson of the SIR Committee, West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee, had banked on a Right to Information (RTI) response they got from the election authorities to flag the issue of pendency of the 38-odd lakh appeals.
