Fight breaks out at vada pav stall in Borivli, four wounded with knife injuries
Mumbai: Two groups clashed at a vada-pav stall adjacent to MHB Colony Police station at Borivli West on Tuesday, leaving four people wounded with knife injuries. MHB Colony Police are in the process of registering cases against both groups. The vada-pav stall is run by a Yadav family. The family had employed one Pavan Dubey as a helper at the stall as he belonged to the same hometown as them. Subsequently, Dubey left the job when he did not wish to do it anymore. Last week, a dispute broke out after one of the members of the Yadav family uploaded on Facebook the photograph of a woman related to Dubey. This enraged Dubey and he asked the family to delete the post.

In turn, one of the members of the Yadav family snatched the knife and stabbed Dubey. The police was informed immediately and the four injured men were rushed to the Babasaheb Ambedkar Hospital in Kandivli. They were given treatment and are out of danger.

Think your landlord's house insurance covers you? Here's the truth
In 2022, Ravi Mehta, a tech professional in Whitefield, Bengaluru, suffered a setback when a short circuit led to a fire in his rented house. He lost electronics, furniture, and clothes worth Rs 5-6 lakh. Mehta had thought the landlord's insurance would cover it. It didn't. 'A content policy costing just Rs 207/year could have covered it,' says Ashwini Dubey, business head-home insurance at Many of us living in rented accommodations assume that their landlord's home insurance will cover them during an unfortunate event. But as several such incidents show, this misconception could leave tenants vulnerable to financial losses running into lakhs. What landlord insurance does and doesn't cover 'Landlord insurance typically covers the building's structure, walls, roof, fixtures, and fittings, for risks such as fire, earthquake, flood, short circuits, or riots,' says Ashwini Dubey, business head-home insurance at If the property becomes uninhabitable, it may also cover the landlord's loss of rent. Some plans even include terrorism-related damages. But the crucial gap is this, tenant possessions are not covered. 'These policies won't protect the tenant's personal items like electronics, furniture or jewellery. Nor do they include liability for accidental damage caused by the tenant,' Dubey adds. Why tenants need contents insurance, even for a rented house A fire, flood, or burglary can wipe out everything a tenant owns. And replacing it all from scratch isn't cheap. 'Contents insurance protects tenants' valuables, furniture, clothes, electronics, appliances, from risks like fire, theft, or water leakage,' explains Pankaj Verma, chief technical officer, products & underwriting at Zurich Kotak General Insurance. Verma also highlights the value of tenant liability cover. 'It helps if a tenant unintentionally damages the landlord's property. It's an often-overlooked but crucial protection,' he said. Some policies even offer temporary accommodation costs if your rented home becomes unlivable. Coverage and cost: Surprisingly affordable Dubey notes that tenant policies, often called 'contents-only insurance' can cover up to ~5 lakh worth of items for as little as ~200–300 annually. The process is largely digital, requires no inspections, and offers instant coverage. Common exclusions include: Wear and tear or depreciation Damage due to war, nuclear risks Unoccupied homes for long periods Undeclared high-value jewellery Bottom line: Landlord insurance covers the building, not your belongings. For tenants, a low-cost home content policy is a smart move to avoid big surprises during life's unexpected turns.

An engineering student of Central University of Jammu (CUJ), from Bihar, who was arrested last month for his involvement in illegal arms trade has revealed that he supplied at least nearly a dozen firearms to gangsters in Jammu, said officials on Tuesday. The arrest of Kaif Ahmed, who is pursuing B Tech from the Central University of Jammu, followed an investigation into a firing incident outside a hotel in Miran Sahib during a function on February 23, a police spokesman said. (File) 'A major arms supply racket has been busted in Jammu with his arrest,' said a senior police officer. Kaif Ahmad from Siwan in Bihar was pursuing BTech at the CUJ. He was arrested by the Miran Sahib police. 'During interrogation, he admitted to have supplied at least 11 firearms to gangsters. He used to bring weapons from Bihar and sold them for up to ₹1 lakh,' said the officer. The arrest of Kaif Ahmed, who is pursuing B Tech from the Central University of Jammu, followed an investigation into a firing incident outside a hotel in Miran Sahib during a function on February 23, a police spokesman said. While two gangsters -- Rajat Raina and Raghunandan Kesar -- were arrested allegedly along with two pistols on the day of the firing, their third associate Balwinder Singh alias Goru Jatt of Vijaypur in Samba was nabbed allegedly with a pistol and some live cartridges after a hunt of six months, the spokesman said. One alleged gangster, identified as Manik from Suchani, who bought a weapon from Kaif, is still on the run, the officials said. Kaif was held on July 12. The accused had been orchestrating illegal trafficking of firearms and transporting weapons—specifically pistols and katta (country made pistols) from Bihar and selling them to local criminals.
