Over the past two days, civic officers checked whether there were any illegal alterations or additions to the structure. The demand for inspection was also made by the Jain temple trustees.
Meanwhile, a hearing was held at the minority commission, attended by civic officials on Thursday, in which the BMC was asked to put forth its say regarding the demolition of the temple on April 16.
"We presented the facts before the commission on why the action was taken," said a civic official.
Over the past weekend, the BMC had transferred its ward officer, Navnath Ghadge, following an uproar over the demolition of the temple.

Pocso case: Proceedings against Indian Institute of Science assistant prof to continue
Bengaluru: The high court has refused to quash legal proceedings against an assistant professor at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, who is facing trial under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act. The case stems from an incident on Sept 30, 2018, during a birthday party of the accused's daughter. It is alleged that during a 'Ghost House' game held in a dark room, the professor inappropriately touched a 10-year-old girl who was among the guests. Following a complaint from the child's father, Jalahalli police filed a chargesheet against him. The accused has denied the allegations, claiming that he merely stepped in to control the children's play. He argued that the complaint was lodged to harass him and cited several procedural flaws in the investigation. These included the similarity of witness statements, alleged irregularities in the court's cognisance of the case, the absence of a medical examination of the child, and inordinate delays in the trial process. However, the additional state public prosecutor countered that around eight children had come forward with similar accounts of inappropriate conduct by the accused, underscoring the need for a full trial. A fter reviewing the case materials, Justice M Nagaprasanna acknowledged the uniformity in the witness statements recorded under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Yet, he held that even a single credible account is sufficient to warrant a trial under the Pocso Act. He also stated that the lack of medical examination does not invalidate the prosecution's case if other substantial evidence is available. The court underlined that Sections 7 and 8 of the Act define sexual assault as involving inappropriate touching of a child's private parts. It concluded that, if proven, the allegations against the accused would fall squarely within these legal provisions. The court added that the consistency in witness statements is an issue to be addressed during the trial, not a valid reason for dismissing the case at the pre-trial stage. Given that the matter has been pending since 2018, the high court directed the trial court to expedite the case and complete proceedings within three months.

Meghalaya honeymoon murder: Sonam may be actual mastermind, Investigators say
INDORE: Investigators in honeymoon murder case involving Sonam Raghuvanshi and her alleged lover Raj Kushwaha, are now suspecting that Sonam may have been the actual mastermind behind the entire plot and Raj was just used to commit the crime. Senior police officials closely monitoring interrogation of all accused said that Sonam appears to have manipulated each one of them, luring Raj through promises of love and possibly enticing others with financial gains. Contrary to earlier speculations that Raj was the main conspirator, sources now suggest he might have been used as a pawn in a bigger plan. They suspect that Sonam was planning to elope with someone else and Raj, unaware of the larger game, ended up facilitating her escape. Senior police officials claimed that Raj made payments to cab driver who dropped Sonam in UP on June 6. Crime branch officials believe that Sonam had premeditated her hideout and had even arranged for a flat in Indore where she intended to stay for a few days after executing the plan. She selected the location, made necessary payments, and kept her stay under wraps. Interestingly, no one apart from Sonam seems to know where this flat is. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 35 & Earning?

Officials now suspect that Sonam remained in Indore for most of the time while police teams and her family searched for her, with her kin even staging protests against the Meghalaya government. When she realized that their plan was falling apart, she allegedly asked Raj to book her a cab and fled to Uttar Pradesh, where she was finally traced on June 8. Indore crime branch officials have confirmed that they currently do not have address of the flat where Sonam stayed during her disappearance. They, however, said that Meghalaya police plan to bring her back to Indore for evidence verification. "Meghalaya officials will bring the accused to Indore to collect evidence and Indore police will provide all logistical and technical help. It is expected that Sonam will be brought back," said additional DCP Rajesh Dandotiya. .

17-year-old boy critical after suicide-theme reel goes wrong Maharashtra
Nashik: A Nepalese teenager sustained a severe neck injury while attempting to create a suicide-themed social media reel. The 17-year-old, who works as a waiter at a restaurant on Karmala Road in Jamkhed, is in a critical condition and currently undergoing treatment at a private hospital, said Jamkhed police. On Tuesday morning, the boy and a friend of similar age went to an isolated location, approximately a kilometre from Karmala Road. At 7.45 am, the boy tried to record a staged suicide scene. He fashioned a noose from cloth, secured it to a low tree branch, and instructed his friend to record the scene. According to social worker Sanjay Kothari, during the filming, the bent branch suddenly straightened, causing the Nepalese boy to lose consciousness from strangulation, despite standing on the ground. His friend promptly removed the noose and alerted the restaurant owner at 8am. Believing the 17-year-old had died, the owner contacted Kothari to transport the body via his free ambulance service. Upon arrival, Kothari noticed signs of life and immediately took the boy to a private hospital in Jamkhed. "The boy's condition is improving. I visited him twice on Tuesday and also on Wednesday," Kothari told TOI. Inspector Mahesh Patil, of the Jamkhed police station, said, "It was a case of an accident. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo No offence can be made out of it."
