‘No locker breach': SBI denies jewellery theft allegation by Bengaluru woman
The State Bank of India (SBI) has refuted allegations of missing valuables from a locker at its Dollars Colony branch in Bengaluru, stating that all items reported as lost were later found during a police-led inspection. The clarification comes after a 54-year-old homemaker, Bindu CD, filed a complaint alleging that 145 grams of gold and diamond jewellery stored in her bank locker had gone missing. The complaint prompted a police investigation and a First Information Report (FIR) under Section 305(a) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, pertaining to theft from a dwelling or secure place. (Also Read: Bengaluru woman alleges gold, diamond theft from SBI locker, police book bank officials: Report) According to SBI's official statement, the Sadashivanagar police conducted a mahazar (panchnama) at the bank in the presence of Bindu, bank staff, and independent witnesses. During the inspection, Bindu opened her locker and found the jewellery intact. The bank said that certain items had been 'inadvertently overlooked' by the complainant as they were stored deep within the locker. The entire process was videographed by authorities to ensure transparency. Following standard procedure, the locker contents were temporarily taken into police custody, the statement said.

Maharashtra FDA books Mumbai-based firm for reselling expired food products after repackaging
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently initiated legal proceedings against a Mumbai-based firm, Khushi Trading, for allegedly repackaging expired food products and reselling them in the market. The firm in Ghatkopar has also been accused of operating without a valid food safety licence and violating prior stop-business orders. According to FDA officials, the crackdown was conducted following inputs from Minister of State for FDA Yogesh Kadam and under the supervision of Joint Commissioner (Food) Mangesh Mane. An official said a surprise inspection on May 22 at the firm's premises in Cozmongie Estate, Ghatkopar (West), uncovered serious lapses, including the absence of an FSSAI licence, unhygienic storage conditions, and evidence of procurement of expired and near-expiry goods from retail giant D-Mart, which were allegedly being repackaged for fresh sale. 'This poses a direct threat to public health… The firm was found flouting multiple provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, including hygiene norms laid out in Schedule 4,' said a senior FDA official. Despite being issued a stop-business order by Food Safety Officer Abhinandan Randive on May 22, a follow-up inspection on May 29, conducted along with Assistant Commissioner (Food) Anupamaa Balasaheb Patil, revealed that the firm had resumed operations without permission, in violation of regulatory directives. Following this, an FIR was registered at the Ghatkopar police station under Section 223 (disobedience of lawful orders) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Section 55 (penalties for failing to comply with the food safety officer's directions) of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. FDA officials have confirmed that an internal investigation is ongoing to determine the extent of D-Mart's involvement, particularly branches in Navi Mumbai and Bhiwandi, from where Khushi Trading allegedly sourced expired stock. D-Mart's comment is awaited on the matter. The FDA has reiterated its warning to all food business operators to adhere to food safety laws strictly and stated that failure to do so will result in stringent legal action. The FDA recently also suspended the food business license of Kiranakart Technologies, the parent company of the quick-commerce platform Zepto, following an inspection that revealed unhygienic storage practices for food items at its Dharavi facility in Mumbai.

2 kids die in cylinder blast at Northeast Delhi godown; 3rd sibling critical
Image used is for representational purposes only NEW DELHI: Two of the three minor siblings, Abbas and Sakib, injured in a CNG cylinder explosion at a godown in northeast Delhi's Sunder Nagri on Saturday succumbed to their injuries during the treatment, police said on Sunday. The explosion occurred on the ground floor of a residential building, where an unauthorised gas cylinder storage unit was being run. According to police, the three brothers, aged between 3 and 7 years, lived with their family in Nand Nagri. The two elder children, aged 4 and 7 years, sustained burns covering 90% and 85% of their bodies and died during treatment. Their three-year-old brother, Raja, with similar injuries, is in a critical condition. A worker, identified as Arshad, present at the time, too sustained 70% burns. Preliminary investigations confirmed that storing LPG cylinders in a residential area violates safety regulations. "Operating such a facility is illegal. We are compiling a detailed report to submit to the sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) for further action," said a senior police officer, adding, a case has been registered against the owners of the building and godown. No arrests have been made so far and the search is on for the suspects, he said. The children's father, who worked as a tailor, resided with the family in Nand Nagri. The incident has sparked outrage in the neighbourhood, with locals demanding strict action against those responsible. A case has been registered under sections 106(1) (causing death by negligence), 287 (negligent conduct with respect to fire or combustible matter), 125A (act endangering life or personal safety of others), and 326(G) (mischief by fire or explosive substances) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Police received the first call about the blast at 4.33 pm on Saturday, after which two fire tenders and 12 firefighters were dispatched to the location. The explosion occurred at a godown on street number 6. During a repair operation, a CNG cylinder reportedly blew up, the force of which shattered the iron gate. The children, who were playing nearby, were caught in the blast and severely injured. "We are examining whether any gas remained in the cylinder. It's possible a grinder used during repairs caused a spark that triggered the fire," a police official stated.
