Bouncer loses hand in attack at Thergaon
1 2 3 Pune: Three people assaulted Rahul Kanghare (30) — a bouncer — and chopped off his left palm from wrist in the early hours of Monday in Thergoan. The victim also suffered a deep cut on his right palm, police said. Prima facie investigations revealed that the bouncer was attacked over an old dispute involving his relative with a relative of one of the three suspects. The Wakad police registered a case of attempted murder against the three people — Rohan Nimaj (30), Shubham Pawar (20) and Prashant Sakat (22), all from Thergaon — and arrested them. But a court released all three of them on Tuesday citing insufficient reasons for their arrest. You Can Also Check: Pune AQI | Weather in Pune | Bank Holidays in Pune | Public Holidays in Pune Following the release of the three suspects, relatives of the victim staged a protest at the Wakad police station on Thursday and demanded immediate arrest of the trio. Deputy commissioner of police (Zone-II) Vishal Gaikwad told TOI, "We will rearrest them and produce them before the court again. We will provide all the evidence and seek their custodial remand again." In a conversation with TOI, the victim's mother, Lalita Kanghare, said, "When I learned that the suspects were released, my relatives and I went to the police station and demanded action. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

She said her brother (the injured bouncer's maternal uncle) and Nimaj, one of the three suspects, had a dispute over some trivial issue about one-and-a-half months ago. "Nimaj called my son in the early hours of Monday and told him that my brother was abusing him. My son and I decided to go and talk to my brother," the victim's mother said. She said, "While we walked towards my brother's house, Nimaj and two others picked my son up on their motorcycle and rode towards my brother's house. I walked behind them and saw all three of them assaulting my son with sharp weapons at some distance." The injured bouncer's mother said, "When two of the suspects attacked Rahul on his head, he tried to save himself with his hands. My son's left hand was chopped off from the wrist during his action to save himself. He also suffered a deep cut on the right palm. The suspects threatened everyone in the vicinity before leaving the spot." Kanghare, the mother of the victim, said her son was critical and underwent a major surgery on Thursday. The doctors said he would have to undergo one more surgery. "My son recently started working as a bouncer and has a wife and a daughter," she said. Earlier this month, the Hinjewadi police booked a man from Yavatmal for stabbing two brothers with a knife at Gaware Vasti in Hinjewadi. The incident was allegedly fallout of the suspect's illicit relationship with the duo's aunt.

South Asian-origin Brit named as man arrested at Disneyland Paris for mock wedding to 9-year-old
(Photo credit: Metropolitan Police) LONDON: A South Asian-origin British national called Jacky Jhaj has been named by UK media as the man arrested in Disneyland Paris last weekend for organising a mock wedding to a 9-year-old Ukrainian girl. Jaskarn, or Jacky Jhaj (39), was arrested last Saturday at the theme park when a 55-year-old actor who had been paid €12,000 to play the role of the father of the bride contacted police when he realised the bride was a child and she turned up looking 'scared and confused'. Jhaj is a convicted paedophile in Britain. He was jailed in 2016 for sexual activity with two 15-year-old girls and placed on the UK sex offenders register. Around 100 children and 200 adults had been paid to take part in the fake ceremony at the Sleeping Beauty castle. The mock wedding was to feature violinists, a cake, and chairs were laid out. TOI understands the plan was to create a video for social media. Jhaj had hired Disneyland Paris for several hours before it opened for the stunt, costing £110,000, allegedly using fake Latvian ID. He was going to play the role of groom to the child bride who could not walk in her bridal dress and heels and had to be carried. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like กำลังเทรดสกุลเงิน THB หรือ USD อยู่หรือเปล่า? IC Markets สมัคร Undo The 41-year-old Ukrainian mother of the girl, a 24-year-old Latvian woman who was to play the bride's sister, and the 55-year-old Latvian man acting as the groom were also arrested and have since been released. Jhaj appeared in front of a judge in Meaux, north-east Paris, on June 23 and was charged with fraud, breach of trust, money laundering, and identity theft. He remains in custody. He is a serial prankster behind scores of similar weird stunts. He hired hundreds of teenagers and children, some as young as six, to act as his fawning fans at a fake red carpet film premiere in Leicester Square in 2023 at which he pretended to be a film star, and last year he organised a fake funeral at London Oratory with a horse-drawn carriage and empty coffin, hiring extras as mourners. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: 'A 39-year-old man is wanted by the Met Police for breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and a breach of a Sex Offenders' Register notification requirement. We are aware the man has been arrested in France for other matters and officers are in contact with the French authorities.'

Kaushambi jail to launch 2nd phase of literacy programme for illiterate inmates
Prayagraj: As many as 60 inmates of Kaushambi district jail, who had never been to school, will learn to read and write and get trained in basic arithmetic by five 'literate prisoners' under the second phase of the Shiksha Plus campaign. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Under the campaign, the Shiv Nadar Foundation will provide digital training to five intermediate pass-out inmates, who will later teach other prisoners. The classes will start in first week of July. "It's a 90-day schedule, and regular classes will be conducted for the inmates from the first week of July. The classes will be held in two batches with 30 inmates in each. One batch will be for women inmates, and the other batches will have inmates below 25 years of age and above 40 years of age," Kaushambi district superintendent jail Ajitesh Mishra told TOI. Mishra said there are around 850 inmates lodged at Kaushambi district jail of which 60, who never went to school, were identified. "After carrying out a survey, we picked up 60 inmates who showed a keen interest in learning basic arithmetic," he said, adding , "Members of the Shiv Nadar Foundation will provide digital training on laptops to five inmates who are intermediate pass or have done graduation. They would later conduct classes for all 60 inmates in two batches." Each batch will be provided with books and stationery, and they will also be given homework sheets and tutorials. Regular tests will also be held, said Mishra. "The classes will have blackboards, and laptops will be given to teachers to help inmates gain basic knowledge of computers," Mishra said. Under the first phase of Shiksha Plus, 90 inmates were educated last year. "It will be the ongoing digital education atmosphere on the Kaushambi jail campus," he added. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now More inmates will be covered under the digital training programme in the future. Jail authorities said they have also set up a library for inmates who want to pursue graduation and post-graduation courses. The library has a collection of over 600 books on all subjects from primary to post-graduation. "This will go a long way in ensuring proper rehabilitation of inmates," Mishra added. The Shiksha Plus campaign is an adult literacy programme run by the Shiv Nadar Foundation. It focuses on teaching basic literacy skills – reading, writing, and arithmetic – to adults who have missed out on formal education, particularly those over 15 years old. The programme utilizes an ICT-based methodology to deliver its curriculum and has been implemented in various settings, including rural communities and even jails.
