35-year-old man arrested for making hoax bomb threat call in Mumbai
The control room has received the call from an unidentified caller on Thursday afternoon.
The technical investigation led the investigators to Vakola in the western suburbs where they nabbed the accused, Suraj Dharma Jadhav (35) for allegedly making the threat call. Police sources said that Jadhav has made similar threat calls in the past too.
The city police last year received around 50 threat calls which later turned out to be hoax. Many callers had made the calls under the influence of alcohol or for revenge.

Thane MACT awards Rs 20.49 lakh to family of pedestrian killed in 2013 accident
THANE: The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) in Thane has directed the owner of a container truck and its insurer to pay Rs 20.49 lakh as compensation to the family of a 35-year-old labourer who died after being run over in Bhiwandi in December 2013. Presiding officer R.V Mohite held that the accident occurred due to the rash and negligent driving of the container by its driver. According to the petition, on the night of December 8, 2013, the labourer was walking along the left side of the road near Oswal Tower, Anjur Phata, when the speeding container veered onto the side road and hit him. The vehicle's tyre ran over his leg, causing grievous injuries. He was rushed to Sion Hospital but succumbed to his injuries on December 14. The Narpoli police registered a case of rash driving and causing death by negligence against the driver. The tribunal rejected the defence that the vehicle and driver were falsely implicated, noting documentary evidence including salary vouchers and emails linking the driver to the vehicle at the time. Assessing his monthly income at Rs 9,000 and applying the multiplier method as per Supreme Court guidelines, the tribunal calculated the loss of future earnings at Rs 12.96 lakh, with an additional Rs 5.18 lakh towards future prospects. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mystical Forest Vase: Hot Sale topgadgetlife Shop Now Undo It also awarded amounts under heads such as loss of consortium, loss of estate, funeral expenses, and love and affection.

Encounter in Chhattisgarh: Security forces foil Maoists' ambush in Bastar; arms seized
RAIPUR: A late-night gun battle broke out between Maoists and security forces in Kondagaon district in Bastar division on Friday with an exchange of fire lasting for several minutes that left a villager injured. The condition of the village was stated to be stable and he was receiving treatment at a hospital. Security forces have recovered country-made weapons, Maoist uniforms and literature from the site of the encounter. According to Kondagaon SP Y Akshay Kumar, the encounter took place at Kohkameta village forest in Keshkal. There were specific inputs about the presence of Maoists in the Kanhargaon area and acting on the input, SP directed a joint anti-Maoist operation involving security personnel from Bastar Fighters, District Reserve Guard, and CRPF. Around late night, the security forces came under heavy fire from 10–12 armed Maoists who had laid an ambush. The insurgents, equipped with sophisticated automatic weapons, opened indiscriminate fire with the intent to loot weapons and inflict casualties on the security personnel, said officials. The joint team retaliated, leading to Maoists retreating into forests taking cover of dense trees and darkness. Police said that a villager who was in the nearby region inadvertently came under cross- firing and suffered a bullet injury. He was evacuated and rushed to a local hospital and later referred to Kondagaon district hospital. During a subsequent search of the encounter site, forces recovered two country-made firearms, Maoist uniforms, propaganda literature, bags and medicines. These items, officials said, indicate that the Maoists had been camping in the area and were preparing for an attack. SP Kumar said security forces have intensified the search operation in the forests of Kohkameta and Nalajhar. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
