Five booked on charge of cheating govt of Rs5 lakh
Nashik: Satpur police have registered a cheating case against five people for causing financial loss of over Rs5 lakh to govt. The case was filed under various sections of the BNS, including 318(4) (cheating), 340(2) (using a forged document as genuine) and 316(2) (criminal breach of trust). According to the police, two of the accused forged documents to benefit from a scheme by the Annasaheb Patil Economic Development Corporation. They uploaded these fake documents on the corporation's portal and after receiving the eligibility certificate, they used the forged papers to apply for a bank loan. This allowed them to receive an interest refund of Rs3.82 lakh from the corporation. Three more people, who have been accused in this case, had prepared a WhatsApp group in the name of Annasaheb Patil Corporation. The trio used the name of the corporation and a picture of Narendra Patil, Chairman of the corporation, as the display picture (DP) of the group. Later, they uploaded a fake advertisement and took money from people from the non-Maratha community on the pretext of helping them get benefits under the corporation's scheme. This way, they cheated the beneficiaries and the govt to the tune of Rs 1.8 lakh. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Jarange's upcoming Mumbai protest may create unrest: OBC leader
'Jarange burnt Beed city and now wants to do the same in Mumbai. The date he has chosen for his march coincides with the Ganesh festival. His only agenda is to reach Mumbai during the festival and cause riots,' Hake told reporters. Mobs had attacked residential houses and offices of two MLAs in Beed city in October 2023 and torched them during the Maratha quota agitations. Mumbai, Aug 12 (PTI) OBC leader Laxman Hake on Tuesday alleged that Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange was responsible for violence that erupted in Beed in 2023 and intended to create similar unrest in Mumbai during the upcoming Ganesh festival. Speaking to reporters in Jalna, Jarange said a Ganpati procession would be taken to Mumbai on August 27. 'No one can stop us…Mumbai is ours, so is the sea and the culture. This procession will be unprecedented, and on August 29, we will celebrate victory,' he said. Hake appealed to the Maharashtra Home Department to take note of intelligence reports on Jarange's planned August 29 march to Mumbai and to stop him from entering the city. 'Let him protest or fast in Antarwali in Jalna district, but prevent any attempt to disturb the festive atmosphere in the state,' Hake said, adding that he had also conveyed this request to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. He further alleged that the plan to disrupt peace in Maharashtra was jointly conceived by NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar and Jarange, warning that the OBC community would respond if the administration yielded to 'mobocracy'. Hake demanded that a case be registered against Jarange for his 'provocative' statements and that he be jailed. 'Why is he being indulged despite making illegal demands? He should also study Hindi before making such remarks,' the OBC leader added. Jarange has announced that he will lead a massive rally in Mumbai on August 29 to press for the Maratha quota, vowing not to leave the city until the demand is met. The protest date falls on the third day of Ganeshotsav, a period when Mumbai already witnesses large gatherings, raising concerns over traffic congestion and law-and-order issues.

Mumbai: St Xavier's College cancels Stan Swamy lecture after ABVP protests
St Xavier's College in Mumbai has cancelled its annual Stan Swamy Memorial Lecture, which was to be held on Saturday, after protests by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, reported The Free Press Journal. The ABVP is the student wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the parent organisation of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. Swamy was among a group of 16 lawyers and activists who had been accused of instigating caste violence between Maratha and Dalit groups in the Bhima Koregaon case in 2018 and was charged under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act. He died on July 5, 2021, nearly nine months after he was arrested. The 84-year-old had suffered from several ailments, including Parkinson's disease and had contracted the coronavirus infection at the Taloja prison in Navi Mumbai. In December 2022, a report by a United States-based digital forensics firm said that a hacker planted evidence on a device owned by Swamy. On Tuesday, the ABVP unit in Mumbai said a group of its workers had met with the principal of St Xavier's College and submitted a letter demanding the 'immediate cancellation' of the Stan Swamy Memorial Lecture. 'ABVP firmly believes that organising a lecture in memory of a person accused in the Elgar Parishad–Bhima Koregaon case, facing UAPA charges for links with banned Maoist groups, is an attempt to glorify urban Naxalism on campus,' said the Hindutva group. It also urged the authorities in Maharashtra to take 'strict action' against such events being held under the 'guise of academic freedom'. Of the 16 persons who have been arrested in the Bhima Koregaon case, seven have secured bail over the last six years, namely Gautam Navlakha, Sudha Bharadwaj, Anand Teltumbde, Vernon Gonsalves, Arun Ferreira, Varavara Rao and Shoma Sen.
