Dismissed cop who made ‘Karad encounter' claim held from Delhi
Mumbai, Sacked Maharashtra police sub-inspector Ranjeet Kasle who had earlier claimed that he was offered a contract to eliminate Walmik Karad, key accused in the sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh case, has been arrested from Delhi, an official said on Sunday. The crime branch of the Mumbai police took Kasle into custody from the national capital on Friday for allegedly spreading communal hatred, defaming public officials and sharing objectionable content on social media, he said. Kasle, who was posted in Beed district before his dismissal, was produced in a court, which remanded him in police custody till June 2 , the official said. A case was registered against Kasle following a complaint by a social activist from Bhandup in eastern Mumbai last month, he said. Kasle was booked for publishing or circulating false information, defamation, criminal actions intended to insult the modesty of a woman under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita , besides the IT Act, he said. In a recent Instagram post, Kasle had also made objectionable remarks against an OBC leader, he said. Cases have also been registered against Kasle in Beed district and Mumbai, the official said. Earlier, Kasle had levelled allegations against former Maharashtra cabinet minister Dhananjay Munde and his close aide Walmik Karad. Kasle had claimed that he was given a 'contract' to eliminate Karad in an encounter. In April, the Inspector General of Police of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Range dismissed Kasle under Article 311 of the Constitution. The article outlines an exception to the general rule requiring a disciplinary inquiry before dismissing, removing, or reducing the rank of a civil servant. Karad is a key accused in the Massajog village head Santosh Deshmukh murder case. Deshmukh, the sarpanch of Massajog village in Beed district, was abducted and tortured to death on December 9 last year apparently for attempting to stop an extortion bid targeting an energy company.

MP: Kin of victims killed in animal attacks await revised ₹25 lakh compensation
Bhopal: Kranti Bai, a 42-year-old resident of Sanosi village in Shahdol district, had set out with her husband, Umesh Kol (43), on May 19 to collect tendu leaves — their primary source of income during the summer. That evening, Umesh was trampled to death by a wild elephant. Bai had hoped to receive the ₹25 lakh compensation that was announced by Madhya Pradesh chief minister Mohan Yadav in November 2024 for victims of human-animal conflict within forest areas. However, she said that she has so far received only ₹8 lakh — the compensation amount that was in place before the announcement of the increased relief — recalling how Umesh had urged her to flee when he was picked up in an elephant's trunk that evening. Forest officials said they are unsure how to disburse the remaining ₹17 lakh, as the government is yet to formally notify the revised compensation. Bai is not alone. Since the announcement, 17 people — including 10 in the past two months alone — were killed in tiger and elephant attacks, including a woman and a minor. None of their families have received the enhanced compensation. HT sent queries to the chief minister's office on May 28, 2025, but there has been no response. The story will be updated once a response is received. The announcement of the revised compensation was made after two men were killed by wild elephants, followed by the deaths of 11 elephants in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in the last week of October. A senior government official told HT that the announcement was made by Yadav without any official notification. 'In fact, no money for enhanced compensation has been provided in the budget (presented in March 2025) also,' he added. 'We are receiving applications from different divisions for payment of enhanced compensation, and we are in a fix as money cannot be provided without formal notification,' a senior forest department official said. Bai has written to the forest headquarters requesting the remaining amount. 'Two days ago, we handed over ₹8 lakh but we don't know how to provide the remaining ₹17 lakh,' Shahdol divisional forest officer Taruna Verma said. Meanwhile, Shahdol district collector Kedar Singh said, 'This is a matter for the forest department. We can't release funds without authentication.' In Umesh's case, principal chief conservator of forest (PCCF) Subhranjan Sen said, 'We are trying to arrange money from discretionary funds and the chief minister's office by treating it as a special case, but we will try to fulfill the promise.' In Madhya Pradesh, data shows an increase in deaths of humans due to human-animal conflict in the last decade. According to forest data, an average of 48 people died in such conflicts in 2019, which has increased to 81 per year in the past five years, i.e., between 2020 and 2024.

Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin Update: Savi Discoveres a Hidden Locker; Ridhi's secret gets revealed
The latest episode of Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin unfolded with intense drama and emotional highs as Savi inched closer to uncovering Rajat's secrets while grappling with threats to Ridhi's life. The episode started with Tara comforting Bhagyashree that Rajat may have left some secret savings. She said she would consult Bhaskar to get more information and requested Bhagyashree not to worry about money, promising that she would investigate the issue herself. Savi was getting more and more restless, losing the sense of time, in the meanwhile. Before she departed, she left Kiaan with Bhagyashree's care. On the investigative side, Neil told Jeetu that both Rajat and Teju had been discovered with fake rubies. While it seemed to be a major lead, Neil agreed he hadn't yet joined the dots. He told them Manjrekar had said the two victims had been in touch through messages prior to their deaths. At that moment, Neil's phone rang, as Manjrekar had called him asking for a meeting. Jeetu made an assumption that Teju's issues could have been because of her relationship with Rajat, but Neil warned him against assuming. As Jeetu went on to suggest that even Savi could have done something out of emotional distress, Neil strongly shot down the allegation. Meanwhile, Savi went to Bhaskar at the office to ask if Rajat's missing insurance documents were found. Bhaskar told her that Rajat had kept a private locker in his room. With hope, Savi went to their room and tried to open the locker. She failed many times but saw a wedding photo and thought of using their wedding day as the password. To her relief, it opened. She found an idol of Lord Ganesha, a key, and a locker number inside. She prayed to Bappa for direction in getting the missing necklace, determined to reveal the truth. Meanwhile, tensions ran high between Neil and Jeetu. Neil blamed Jeetu for breaking his trust by interpreting evidence on his own. He denied Jeetu access to his live location and wished he never shared sensitive data, pointing out that Jeetu never really trusted Teju as he did. Savi then went to the bank to open the locker marked with the key. There, she found a shredded Swiss currency note—a strange but potentially crucial clue. As minutes kept disappearing, she got a call from Maruti calling her to Gandhi Chowk. With a heavy heart, she wished for the safety of Ridhi and departed. At home, Srichand's son comforted Bhagyashree, promising to be with her always in spite of her continued bereavement. Bhagyashree could not help praising Srichand's parenting. In a clandestine phone call, Srichand confirmed with his ally that Savi was, in fact, walking into their trap. Later, Srichand's son was feeling guilty about being absent from Ridhi during her tough times. Tara told him to make things right by accompanying her to the US. She also mentioned Ridhi hadn't reached out to them after leaving, delicately insinuating disapproval. Srichand stood up for Ridhi, claiming she was not negligent. As Savi confronted Maruti for the first time, she implored him not to hurt Ridhi. Maruti laughed at her concern and gave her a dark choice—take over Rajat's criminal business to keep Ridhi safe. Savi was shocked when Maruti told her that Rajat had conducted all their money laundering transactions and had even opened a company in her name, which had been closed down. Savi refused to accept Rajat's association with crime and outrightly rejected the proposal. However, Maruti escalated the threat, warning her that Ridhi would be brutally harmed if she didn't cooperate. Desperate, Savi begged for Ridhi's life. Maruti gave her time to consider and left. Determined not to be manipulated, Savi vowed to fight back and rescue Ridhi at any cost. Meanwhile, Neil updated Nitin on his investigation, revealing that Rajat's vehicle had turned up no new clues. When Nitin mocked him for the lack of progress, Neil reminded him that the case had been handed to him only after Nitin had failed. Back at home, Savi received a horrifying package. Inside was Ridhi's bloodstained dress—chilling proof that Ridhi was in serious danger.
