Complaint Filed Against Thackeray For Illegally Inaugurating Delisle Road Bridge

By LokMarg 18th November 2023

A case has been registered against Shiv Sena Uddhav Thackeray faction leader Aditya Thackeray and other office bearers for illegally inaugurating the Delisle Road Bridge in Lower Parel, said Mumbai Police.

A complaint was filed by the road department of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation at the NM Joshi police station and thereafter a case was registered under sections 143, 149, 326, and 447 of the IPC.

According to the Mumbai Police, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray along with Sunil Shinde, Sachin Ahir, former Mayor Kishori Pednekar, Former Mayor Snehal Ambekar and 15-20 activists, went to the location and inaugurated the bridge.

The Delisle Road Bridge was not fully ready for traffic and there was no permission from the Mumbai municipal corporation to open the bridge. The BMC officer complained to the police, on the basis of which the police registered a case against Aditya Thackeray and other party leaders.

The UBT Shiv Sena leader cited “Public suffering” behind opening of the bridge without the permission of the BMC.

“While we waited on the BMC to open the full bridge to people for use, it has been almost 10 days that the other side has been ready and waiting for a VIP to inaugurate it. We inaugurated it last night and today, the BMC under the pressure of Khoke Sarkar has closed it down again, waiting for a govt inauguration, only to trouble the citizens of Mumbai. Why can’t it be thrown open for the people instead of waiting for the guardian minister’s ego and convenience? Open it!”, Aditya Thackeray said in a post on X.

The Delisle Road Bridge is a crucial link between Lower Parel, Worli, Prabhadevi, and Currey roads in the west and Byculla and other areas in the east. It was shut on July 24, 2018, after being declared unsafe by the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.

Earlier Aaditya Thackeray had also questioned the delay by the Maharashtra government in the inauguration of the Navi Mumbai Metro Rail services. The Metro was inaugurated on November 17.

“My only demand was, if the ministers of this extra-constitutional government do not have time to inaugurate the metro, then start the metro for the people without the inauguration. In the current Shinde-BJP regime, the party comes first and public comes last. They have time to promote their party, but not to inaugurate Navi Mumbai Metro. Delisle Road Bridge is the same way” Aditya Thackeray had said in his post on November 16. (ANI)

Dabur, Burman Family Call Mumbai Police FIR False

By LokMarg 14th November 2023

The Dabur group and the Burman family have denied any connection to an alleged betting app scandal. This comes after the Mumbai Police registered a case against 32 people including Director of Dabur, Gaurav Burman and company chairman Mohit Burman alleging a connection to the betting app scam.

A spokesperson of Burman family, said that no formal communication was received by them on the FIR filed by the Mumbai Police and reported in the Media.

“We have not received any formal communication on any such FIR. However, we have sighted the FIR which is being circulated to media houses. The FIR is patently false and baseless. Nothing could be further from the truth than as wrongly stated in the FIR. From a copy of the FIR that is being circulated in the media, we note that allegations are being made that Mr. Mohit Burman and Mr. Gaurav Burman are directly related to some of the accused. There is an “unseen – Exhibit F” which seems to lay out some so-called relationships” the Spokesperson for the family said.

The family also say they have never met any of the accused that have been named in the said FIR by the Mumbai Police.

“Curiously, the FIR comes at a time when the Burman Family has sought to increase its existing shareholding of 21.24 % in Religare Enterprises and launched a legitimate open offer under the SEBI Takeover Code. As part of this the Burman Family brought to the notice of the Board and the regulators certain governance issues being perpetrated by Dr. Rashmi Saluja, the current Chairman. This FIR is nothing but a step provoked by vested interests in an attempt to block the acquisition of Religare Enterprises Limited by Burman Family” the spokesperson said on behalf of the Burman family.

The spokesperson also alleged that this seemed to be a move to arm-twist the family.

“The Burman Family remains shocked at these “arm twisting” moves, which are grossly illegal. Nevertheless, we remain resolute that we will proceed with our acquisition of Religare Enterprises as contemplated” said the the spokesperson.

Earlier the Mumbai police filed an FIR against 32 accused under various sections of fraud and gambling. According to the FIR, Mohit Burman has been listed at 16 number while Gaurav Burman is at number 18 as alleged accused.

The FIR was registered on November 7, based on a complaint filed by social activist Prakash Bankar. This case has been registered for running a betting app named Khiladi.

The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) is also investigating the alleged Mahadev Book Online Betting APP syndicate in which the promoters of this betting syndicate are allegedly sitting abroad and remotely running thousands of panels across India with the help of their friends and associates. (ANI)

Muntashir Gets Police Security Amid ‘Adipurush’ Backlash

By LokMarg 19th June 2023

After facing backlash for the dialogues in ‘Adipurush’, writer Manoj Muntashir has requested protection, citing a threat to his life. Mumbai Police has provided him security and said that they are investigating the matter.

Earlier, Manoj along with the directors and producers of the film decided to make specific changes in the dialogue of the movie.
During a conversation with ANI, he said, “Our aim was to present the true heroes of Sanatan to our younger generation. There is an objection to 5 dialogues and they will be changed. If people are not liking some parts, then it’s our responsibility to fix them.”

He also took to his Twitter handle and wrote a long post that why he has been questioned and abused for his dialogues in the film. “It is possible that in a 3-hour film, I have written something different from your imagination for 3 minutes, but I could not know why you were in such a hurry to write Sanatan-Drohi on my forehead. Have you not heard the song ‘Jai Shri Ram’, Didn’t hear ‘Shivoham’, Haven’t heard ‘Ram Siya Ram’? These praises of Sanatan in Adipurush are also born from my pen. I have also written ‘Teri Mitti’ and ‘Desh Mere’.”

He further mentioned, “We have created Adipurush for Sanatan Seva, which you are seeing in large numbers and I am sure you will see in future as well.”

Manoj also shared, “Why this post? Because for me there is nothing greater than your feeling. I can give countless arguments in favour of my dialogues, but this will not reduce your pain. Me and the producer-director of the film have decided that some of the dialogues which are hurting you, we’ll revise them, and they’ll be added to the film this week.”

As many opposed the controversial dialogues used in the film, a group of people protested, expressing their displeasure over the film. They were later detained by Hazratganj Police.

Directed by Om Raut, ‘Adipurush’ stars Prabhas as Lord Ram, Kriti Sanon as Goddess Sita, Sunny Singh as Laxman and Saif Ali Khan as Ravan. (ANI)

Drunk Italian Woman Runs Half-Naked On Flight, Arrested

By LokMarg 31st January 2023

Mumbai Police has arrested an Italian woman passenger for allegedly creating a ruckus mid-air on a Vistara Airline flight soon after taking off from Abu Dhabi to Mumbai on January 30.

The passenger identified as Paola Perruccio was arrested by Sahar police early Monday morning after the flight landed in Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA). She was later given bail by a court here.
According to the Mumbai police the woman who was reportedly inebriated created a ruckus insisting that she be seated in business class despite being booked in economy. She also took off some of her clothes and walked up and down the aisle in a partially naked state hurling abuses and assaulting crew members.

“We confirm that there was an unruly passenger on Vistara flight UK 256 operating from Abu Dhabi to Mumbai on 30 January 2023. In view of the continued unruly conduct and violent behaviour, the captain issued a warning card and made a decision to restrain the passenger,” a Vistara spokesperson said.

“The pilot made regular announcements to assure the other customers onboard of their safety and security. In accordance with the guidelines and our stringent standard operating procedures (SOPs), the security agencies on-ground were informed about taking immediate action upon arrival. The incident has been reported to the relevant authorities as per the SOPs,” the spokesperson added.

After registering a case against the passenger, the Mumbai Police filed a charge sheet within a day.

“Mumbai Police has filed a chargesheet in record time in a case of misbehavior by an airline passenger mid-air,” police said.

A medical examination was also conducted on the woman before booking her under several sections of the Indian Penal Code. The police said they have completed all formalities of recording statements of co-passengers and crew and others.

“We have completed all the due formalities as per law and filed the chargesheet after recording all the relevant statements and medical and legal procedures,” DCP Dixit Gedam said.

Last year Vistara handed over an unruly passenger to London’s Heathrow airport authorities after he manhandled and abused crew members during the flight. A Vistara spokesperson said the passenger was detained for investigation on arrival at London Heathrow. (ANI)

The police said that it is yet to get through Tunisha’s mobile phone as they could not unlock it so far.

Meanwhile, the Waliv police have also identified Sheezan’s “secret girlfriend” and will question and record her statement soon.

It is also likely to retrieve the deleted chats from Sheezan’s mobile phone and also take into its possession the DVR of the shoot that took place at the set of their show Alibaba – Dastaan-e-Kabul so that the case could be better understood by reading their facial expression. The police will analyze the raw footage taken from the show.

On Tuesday, the Waliv Police informed that they have recorded the statement of 18 people so far in connection with the TV actor Tunisha Sharma’s death case, and Tunisha’s co-star Parth was also called to record his statement for the second time.

The doctor at the hospital, Surendra Pal, told ANI that Tunisha was dead when they examined her and said, “Except for a deep strangulation mark on her neck, no other mark was found on her body.”

Her fans, family, and members of the television and film industry bid a teary farewell to the 20-year-old Tunisha at the Mira Road crematorium ground in Mumbai. Celebrities including Vishal Jethwa, Ashnoor Kaur, Avneet Kaur, Shivin Narang, and others attended Tunisha’s funeral. (ANI)
