Two men killed as bike falls off under-construction bridge in Khargone
The incident came to light on Wednesday morning when locals out for a walk discovered the bodies lying under the bridge, along with a damaged motorcycle and a mobile phone. It is suspected that in the darkness, they missed the service lane and drove onto the under-construction bridge, from where the bike plunged down, leading to a fatal fall.
Sanawad police station in-charge Rameshwar Thakur told TOI that Sanjay Dhakse, 35, and Dharmendra Kohre, 30, residents of Chhapra, died after falling from the under-construction bridge.
Police said that they were identified based on the Aadhaar card found with them, following which the families were informed.
He said on the basis of a preliminary enquiry that both of them left for Sanawad from Chhapra on Tuesday evening and were returning home at night. Thakur said that the company constructing the bridge blocked the road by placing concrete blocks, despite this they crossed the gap and fell down. He said that necessary indicators were not found on the spot.
Thakur said that both were not wearing helmets and suffered severe head injuries. Their bodies were sent for postmortem examination and handed over to the family members. A primary probe revealed that both were drunk but officials said that they were awaiting the autopsy report for confirmation. Thakur said that they are in the process of summoning the concerned contractor and recording the statements of the family members.
Local leaders and residents alleged that the bridge is incomplete even after the construction period has passed and indicators have not been installed at many places.

His actions were exposed when a female employee spotted suspicious activity on Monday.

The woman who reported the incident in the First Information Report (FIR) said that she saw Nagesh filming her from the next cubicle while using the washroom, panicked, and raised an alarm.

2 constables with MBVV arrested for abetting suicide of Nalasopara builder
VASAI: Two constables attached with the Mira Bhayandar Vasai Virar (MBVV) commissionerate were arrested by the Achole cops (Nalasopara) on Wednesday early morning under charges of abetment of suicide and criminal intimidation. They were sent to five days of police remand after they were produced in the Vasai court on Wednesday afternoon. They were allegedly pressuring a Nalasopara developer to vacate a project he was working on, in which the cops had financed him. In the FIR, daughter of the deceased, mentioned that her father, Jayprakash Chauhan who was a developer by profession, was developing a property Om Shree Ji Cooperative Housing Society since 2015 in Nalasopara east and had constructed six floors and the work was not going ahead due to funds crunch. Hence, Chauhan took finance from these two cops in January of around four to five lakhs and then in April of around 20 - 25 lakhs. She claimed that the finance taken was around 33 lakhs from these constables Rajesh Mahajan and Shyam Shinde. In the second week of June, while having food with the family Chauhan mentioned that Mahajan and Shinde were pressuring him and had threatened him to leave the project as they have already decided who will continue this project and he was tensed. Again after a week he revealed that these cops had threatened him to book him in a false case and apply a series of BNS sections which will force him to rot in the jail. He also mentioned that these two cops were promised a couple of flats against their finance of 33 lakhs but now wanted the whole project. Post this, Chauhan switched off his cell phone due to fear and left his home and started living at a different flat. It was on the night of June 30 around 9:30 that things went out of hand when a broker, Lala Lajpat, who is the third accused in this case, reached his house, threatened him, and told him to leave the project. Next day when he wasn't reachable , the family went to the flat he was staying, and found him hanging from the ceiling. He was taken to the hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival. This is when the family went to take Chauhans Aadhaar card from his car, that they found his suicide note mentioning names of Mahajan and Shyam Shinde. The Achole cops didn't wait for a moment and first filed an accidental death report (ADR) on Tuesday late night and then filed the FIR at 5 in the morning and arrested both the cops by taking them into custody.
