Bawankule takes dig at Uddhav Thackeray in Nagpur
States » West Nagpur, Aug 11(UNI) Maharashtra Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Monday launched a scathing attack on Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, accusing him of protecting individuals involved in an alleged Rs100 crore extortion racket during the Maha Vikas Aghadi regime. Bawankule remarked "Uddhavji, the people know who the real leader of extortionists' is" and went on to accuse him of shielding individuals involved in an alleged Rs 100 crore extortion racket during his time as chief minister. On Thackeray's tenure as CM, Bawankule remarked "as CM, you strangled democracy and morality. Questions were raised about the decisions you made, the administration you ran and your governance." "Today, instead of attacking the honest, development-oriented, and transparent leadership of Devendra Fadnavis, it's imperative to look at yourself in the mirror", Bawankule said. "In the Assembly elections, Maharashtra also witnessed who was the 'Chief Minister' and who was the 'Thief Minister', The senior" BJP leader said sarcastically. Bawankule advised Thackeray to self-reflect before criticizing Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, asserting that public trust lies with Fadnavis while Thackeray has lost public confidence. Bawankule termed Fadnavis' leadership as 'honest, development-oriented, and transparent', painting them in direct contrast with Thackeray, whom he accused of undermining democratic and moral values.

This is how four men carried out a heist to the tune of Rs 50 lakhs inside a house in East Delhi's Laxmi Nagar on Saturday. The house was empty as the occupants were out to celebrate Raksha Bandhan, the police said. According to the police, the incident happened around 4:30 am on Saturday, when four men entered a residential building in FF block of Laxmi Nagar. The men were wearing mufflers and raincoats to hide their faces, while donning gloves to avoid fingerprint marks, an officer said. The suspects then moved to the first floor of the building, and noticed one locked house with all lights switched off, the officer said. According to the police, the house belonged to Apratim Jaiswal, who along with his wife, were out since Friday, as they had gone to their relative's place to celebrate Raksha Bandhan. Setting their eyes on the target, the men, fearing interruption, proceeded to put locks on all the houses in the building, except Jaiswal's home before breaking inside his house by busting the lock of the main door. Then, the suspects proceeded to rob Rs 1 lakh in cash, and several gold, diamond alongside other jewellery amounting to Rs 40 lakh.

Myth that boys are not vulnerable to sexual assault: Court gives man 15 year jail term for raping minor boy
Observing that boys are equally vulnerable to sexual assault as girls, a Delhi court recently sentenced a man to 15 years of imprisonment for raping a minor boy in 2019. 'Boys are as vulnerable to the sexual abuse and exploitation as that of girls and they are equally susceptible to the heinous crime of penetrative sexual assault. It is generally presumed that only girls can be subjected to penetrative sexual assault,' noted Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Anu Aggarwal of Saket court in her order dated July 31. 'However, this is a myth and the POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act has been designed to cover all the children irrespective of their gender as children are at the risk of being sexually assaulted,' she added. 'POCSO Act is a gender neutral act qua (in the capacity of) the accused and the victim. It was enacted to provide the children with protection from the offence of sexual assault, sexual harassment and pornography. The Act has been designed to protect all the children under the age of 18 from sexual abuse, regardless of their gender,' the court said. ASJ Aggarwal was hearing arguments on sentencing against the man, who was convicted under Section 6 (aggravated penetrative sexual assault) of the POCSO Act, and under Section 377 (unnatural offences) of IPC (Indian Penal Code) on July 23. Additional Public Prosecutor (APP) Arun K V, who represented the state cited a report by the Union Ministry of Women and Child Development, which mentioned that approximately 54.68% of child sexual assault victims are boys. The APP also mentioned that male children were equally vulnerable to sexual abuse comparable to their female counterparts. 'The mental trauma that the sexually abused boy experiences is the same as that of other sexually abused survivors. They experience fear, flashbacks and undergo post-traumatic stress disorder,' the court said. It added that boys feel ashamed due to the 'societal framework'. The court also directed the man to pay Rs 2 lakh to the survivor, who was in class 4, when the offence was committed. The state was also directed to pay Rs 10.5 lakh as compensation to the survivor.
