Shiv Sena (UBT) workers protest at KMC against corruption in development works in Kolhapur city
Kolhapur: Shiv Sena (UBT) workers held a Kolhapur Municipal Corporation gherao protest at noon on Monday, demanding explanations regarding the alleged massive corruption in development works executed by the civic body. The party workers encircled the main Kolhapur Municipal Corporation (KMC) building with two-wheelers and autorickshaws, blocking the entry and exit points. They protested against the drainage pipeline scam and substandard work in road projects undertaken with Rs 100 crore funds. Additionally, concerns were raised over corruption in the Gandhi Maidan cross drain and the installation of heritage-style musical street lamps around the Mahalaxmi temple. A written statement outlining various demands was submitted to KMC additional commissioner Ravikant Adsul. During the protest, Sena (UBT) district president Ravikiran Ingawale criticised the overall administration of the municipal corporation. Ravikiran Ingawale said, "A corruption competition has started in the municipal corporation. A situation has arisen where whoever commits the most corruption gets the most reward. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo The officials in the KMC have become corrupt, and they do not want local body elections. The scam of Rs 85 lakh was done in collusion by the people's representatives and officials of Kolhapur. The roads worth Rs 100 crore have been ruined. The accused in corruption cases are made complainants." Ingawale called for the suspension of corrupt officials involved in the drainage scam at Kasba Bawda. "If no action is taken, then it is wrong. The scam of Rs 85 lakh is not a joke. The siege imposed on the municipal corporation on Monday was to wake up the people of Kolhapur," he added. Meanwhile, though administrator K Manjulekshmi appointed an inquiry committee to investigate the entire drainage scam case and submitted a report, no significant action has been taken by the municipal administrator yet. Addressing the Shiv Sena (UBT) party workers, KMC additional commissioner Ravikant Adsul said, "The thorough investigation regarding the Rs 85 lakh fake bill corruption in the drainage pipeline is ongoing. The KMC administrator has already assured of taking strict and legal action against the culprits."

BDS student's suicide: Delayed Sharda University report hampers police probe
Greater Noida A five-member internal complaints committee's report from Sharda University in the suicide case of a 21-year-old second-year Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) student, that was to be submitted within five days, has been delayed by over 15 days, said police on Sunday, adding that the delay is also hampering the ongoing police investigation. We were informed that the committee submitted its report to the vice chancellor of the university. But it has not yet been handed over to the police. The university is delaying the report, citing its incompleteness, said a senior police officer. (Sunil Ghosh/HT Photos) On July 18, the second-year BDS student from Gurugram was found dead inside room 1209(C) on the 12th floor of Mandela hostel around 8.45 pm after a student in room 1209(B) received a call from the deceased's parents to check on her. The college authorities, without informing the police or parents for over 90 minutes, rushed the girl to Sharda Hospital, where doctors declared her dead and alerted Knowledge Park police via 112. 'We were informed that the committee submitted its report to the vice chancellor of the university. But it has not yet been handed over to the police. The university is delaying the report, citing its incompleteness,' said a senior police officer, requesting anonymity. 'We have recorded statements from more than 15 people so far but have yet to proceed further due to the absence of the report,' the officer said. 'In our investigation, it is confirmed that the university did not inform the police or parents for more than an hour after the incident. Later, they alleged that she was not performing well in her studies and had low attendance. If this was the case, they would not have issued an admit card to the student for annual exams,' said the officer, adding that they are examining the laptop, mobile, and other electronic gadgets to collect evidence. The statements of the deceased's parents were also recorded by the committee and the police. 'On August 1, we recorded our statements before Knowledge Park police and submitted all the evidence to the Supreme Court committee. We are also waiting for the report, but we were informed that the committee is unable to finalise it due to errors flagged by their legal team. They (university) are powerful and not ready to listen anything,' said the deceased's father. Greater Noida, additional deputy commissioner of police, Sudhir Kumar confirmed that the investigation is getting delayed due to a delay in the committee report. 'We are also waiting for the report,' he said. The arrested assistant professor Shairy Vashist and associate professor Mahinder Singh Chouhan remain behind bars, said the police, adding that a case under sections 108 (abetment to suicide), 238 (destruction of evidence), 79 (insulting modesty of a woman), 352 (insult), and 351(2) (criminal intimidation) was registered against five faculty members of the college, including the dean of the Dental department, at Knowledge Park police station. Dr Ajit Kumar, the director of public relations at Sharda University, did not revert to calls or messages by HT for a response.

Juniors report ragging during money collection for festival at Kurnool medical college
No ragging incident took place: KMC principal He stressed that such incidents tarnish the reputation of medical institutions, and promised strict action if the complaints were found to be genuine. The Health Minister also instructed the principal to submit the Anti-Ragging Committee's report without any delay. The government will not tolerate any form of harassment or misconduct by seniors in educational institutions, he asserted. However, in a press statement released on Saturday, medical college principal Dr K Chitti Narasamma made it clear that no ragging had occurred. Speaking on the findings of the internal probe, she said, 'There is no truth to the allegations of ragging. The college's Anti-Ragging Committee has conducted a detailed inquiry, including one-on-one discussions with students, and obtained written statements. Nowhere in the investigation did students confirm the occurrence of ragging.' The principal, however, clarified that the money collection was part of annual festival activities traditionally organised by students in the hostels, and not intended as a form of ragging. Further, she asserted that if any student was harassed or troubled under the guise of Ganesh celebrations, appropriate action will be taken. Apart from this, student groups and alumni have called for greater transparency, urging the college to prioritise student welfare and ensure that such festivals are voluntary, and inclusive, free from coercion or senior-junior tensions.
