Kin stage sit-in demanding arrest of main accused

Ulhasnagar: Tension prevailed in the Camp-5 area of Kailash Colony on Friday evening following the brutal double murder of two brothers in a broad daylight firing incident that has triggered outrage among local residents and the victims’ family members. Relatives of the deceased staged a sit-in protest on the main road, refusing to accept the bodies until all the accused are arrested. The bodies of brothers Anil Harkesh Chouhan (22) and Aman Harkesh Chouhan (17) were brought to their residence around 6:30 pm amid heavy police deployment to prevent any untoward incident. A large number of residents, including women, gathered near the house and raised slogans against the police administration, demanding immediate arrest of the main accused and strict punishment for all those involved in the attack. Protesters alleged that timely police action could have prevented the incident. The agitating relatives warned that they would not take custody of the bodies until the prime accused and all absconding suspects are arrested. The protest led to a tense atmosphere in the locality for several hours. Police officials remained at the spot and attempted to pacify the protesters while additional security personnel were deployed to maintain law and order. According to police, the firing incident took place on Thursday evening at Kailash Colony Chowk, where a gang of nearly 10 to 12 persons allegedly opened fire on members of the Chouhan family over an old rivalry. Anil and Aman Chouhan died on the spot, while Arjun Surajbali Chouhan sustained serious injuries and is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital. While speaking to, ‘The Perfect Voice’, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Amarsinh Jadhav said that two accused Shekhar Birajdar and Ajay Rao have been arrested in connection with the case. He added that four police teams have been formed to trace and arrest the remaining accused, and further investigation is underway. The incident has once again raised serious concerns over law and order in Ulhasnagar, with fear and anger spreading among local residents following the deadly attack.

BMC auctioning three land parcels to raise funds, says Aaditya

Updated: Oct 22, 2024

Aaditya

Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Thursday alleged Mumbai’s civic body had decided to auction three land parcels to raise funds and make up for the “loot” of the metropolis by the Eknath Shinde government.


The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, which is being run by an administrator now, has decided to auction the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Mandi (Market), the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) Malabar Hill Receiving Station and the Worli Asphalt Plant, Thackeray pointed out.


“The sale of Mumbai is being done by the Eknath Shinde regime to benefit its favourite builders and contractors,” he alleged.


A criminal investigation will be conducted into the matter after the Maha Vikas Aghadi government comes to power, Thackeray added.


“So on one end, they looted the BMC and Mumbai and gave the money to their favourite contractors. Now, by auctioning these iconic and important land parcels, the BMC will be left without both funds and plots,” the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and former state minister claimed.


When Shiv Sena started controlling the BMC in 1997, its finances were in deficit but by 2022 his party turned around the fiscal health of the civic body, Thackeray said.


Alleging that the Shinde government wants to drive Kolis and fisherfolk out of Mumbai, he said, “We will oppose this. It has to remain and be made into a fish market, and (should be) in the ownership of the BMC.”


Aaditya puppet for urban naxals: Shelar

Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) Mumbai chief Ashish Shelar has called Uddhav Thackeray’s son and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray as a puppet for urban naxals after former’s comments on the Dharavi Redevelopment project and has also challenged him for a debate.

Ashish Shelar said that the project is a necessity and a priority project, adding that Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena and Congressleader Varsha Gaikwad are peddling lies.

Aaditya Thackeray seems to have become the spokesperson of urban Naxals. Without studying the subject (Dharavi) in detail, Aaditya Thackeray is speaking like an ignorant. I have seen that these people have been trying to set a narrative regarding Dharavi and the re-development work,” Ashish Shelar said.

He challenged Aaditya Thackeray and Varsha Gaikwad in a debate on the Dharavi Redevelopment Project.

“Uddhav ji and the people of his party – Aaditya Thackeray and Varsha Gaikwad have started this false narrative regarding Dharavi. I openly challenge Aaditya for a debate. I want to ask him that 70 per cent of the homes in the Dharavi Redevelopment Project will go to Marathi people, Muslims and Dalits. It is their rightful home, so why are they putting roadblocks by creating a false narrative?”
