Thane Anti-Corruption Bureau nabs CIDCO clerk taking Rs 1.5 lakh bribe for processing retired employee's dues
THANE: A junior clerk working with the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) was caught red-handed by the Thane unit of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) while accepting a bribe of Rs 1.5 lakh on behalf of his two senior colleagues for processing and clearing dues of a retired employee. The complainant recently retired from CIDCO in Navi Mumbai and was entitled to receive dues, including gratuity and interest, from the govt-owned organisation. However, to approve the disbursement of that amount, the employee needed to complete certain formalities, for which he approached the junior clerk, identified as Narendra Hire, for assistance. Much to the shock of the retired employee, the junior clerk allegedly demanded a bribe of Rs 4.5 lakh to assist with the formalities required for the disbursement of the amount. "The clerk demanded Rs 3 lakh on behalf of a senior administrative personnel, another Rs 1 lakh for the departmental inquiry officer to ensure freedom from any departmental inquiry required before clearance of the disbursal. In addition, the clerk sought Rs 50,000 for himself — totalling Rs 4.5 lakh," informed an ACB official. Irked by this demand, the complainant approached the Thane unit of the ACB, which initially ascertained the allegations and, upon verification, laid a trap on June 20 for the clerk. Hire was caught red-handed while accepting ₹1.5 lakh from the complainant. A case is now registered against him.

Air India plane crash: DNA test confirms Gujarat filmmaker Mahesh Jirawala's death; family 'not ready to believe'
Air India plane crash: What began as a desperate hope for the search for a 'missing' husband, ended up in a tragedy for Gujarat filmmaker Mahesh Jirawala's family after his death was officially confirmed a week after the deadly plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12. The confirmation came after DNA test results matched his family's samples. "They were not ready to believe his death," sources aware of the matter told NDTV. Earlier, a burnt Activa scooter belonging to Jirawala was recovered from the site, raising suspicion that he may have been struck by the crashing aircraft. The Gujarati filmmaker's wife had also shared that Jirawala's mobile phone's last known location was 700 m away from the crash site. Naroda-resident Mahesh Kalawadia, also known as Mahesh Jirawala, went to meet someone at Law Garden area on June 12 afternoon. Mahesh Jirawala's wife, Hetal told news agency PTI that her husband had called her up around 1:14 pm, informing her that his meeting was over. At 1:40 pm — a minute after the deadly crash — Jirawala's phone was switched off. Remains of the crashed Air India plane lie on a building, in Ahmedabad "His phone got switched off around 1:40pm. His scooter and mobile phone are missing. All this is unusual since he would never use that route (as per the last location) to come home. We have submitted DNA samples to check if he was one of those killed on the ground due to the crash," said Hetal. A Naroda-resident, Mahesh Kalawadia, also known as Mahesh Jirawala used to direct music albums. Mahesh Jirawala was a well-known name in Gujarat's music and short film circles. His directorial work spanned across various formats, but he was specially recognised for the 2019 Gujarati film Cocktail Premi: Paw of Revenge, which starred Asha Panchal and Vritti Thakkar, mentioned a report by Gujarat Samachar. All but one, aboard the ill fated Air India flight, and 29 others on ground were killed on Thursday, June 12 after the Boeing Dreamliner crashed into BJ Medical College Hostel's mess.
