FIR against 16 for organising bullock cart race in village
Pune: The Bharati Vidyapeeth police have registered a case against 16 men for allegedly organising and participating in an illegal bullock cart race on Sunday afternoon at Gujar-Nimbalkarwadi village. According to senior inspector Rahul Khilare, the organisers had used social media to widely publicize the event, appealing people to turn up in large numbers. Acting on this information, a team from the Katraj police chowkey arrived at the scene around 2.25pm just as the race was beginning. Khilare said the personnel identified the organisers and ordered them to stop the race owing to the danger it posed to public safety. "However, they reportedly ignored the directives and continued the event in smaller groups," he said.

"In addition, the participants subjected the bullocks to severe cruelty," he said, adding a case relating to endangering life or public safety and disobedience to an order promulgated by a public servant, among other charges of the Bharatiya Nayaya Sanhita and Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, has been registered.

The incident was reported on July 26 at the Wondercity slum area in Katraj. According to the police, the complainant, who has twin daughters, alleged that one of them was abducted by unknown individuals during the night from their home. During their investigation, police analysed CCTV footage from 140 cameras spanning the Katraj to Pune Station area. This led them to identify the accused, who were reportedly from the Dharashiv district. A police team subsequently travelled to Dharashiv and, with the assistance of local authorities, arrested the accused on Tuesday. Rahulkumar Khilare, SPI at Bharati Vidyapeeth Police Station, stated, 'Preliminary investigations suggest that the accused had planned to use the abducted child for begging. However, the investigation is ongoing.' The accused have been charged under various sections of the Bombay Police Act (BNS) and have been granted police custody until August 2.

FIR against ex-PMC corporator, 30 others for protesting without police nod over bypass widening project
Pune: The Bharati Vidyapeeth police on Friday booked former Pune Municipal Corporation corporator Vasant More and around 30 of his supporters on the charge of staging an agitation without permission at Katraj Chowk. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The protesters demanded that PMC expedite the Katraj-Kondhwa Bypass widening project. The project, which aims to increase the road's width to 84 metres to alleviate traffic congestion and reduce accidents, includes the construction of a flyover and underpass. Land acquisition has been a challenge, but the civic body is working on solutions, including using transferable development rights. Senior police inspector Rahul Khilare on Saturday said PMC officials visited the bypass to take a review of the progress and other issues between Khadi Machine Chowk and Katraj Chowk. "More and his supporters began an agitation between 12.10pm and 12.40pm and created hindrances when the civic officials were reviewing the project work on the bypass measuring 4.1 km. The agitators demanded that their suggestions be considered while executing the project because they were local residents. A police team dispersed them to prevent a law and order problem," Khilare said. The agitators raised slogans against MLC Yogesh Tilekar, who later held a meeting with civic officials at Khadi Machine Chowk to expedite the project work, Khilare said. When contacted, More said protesting on social issues is their constitutional right. "Police have registered a case because of political pressure. What is more shocking is that a couple of names that police have mentioned in the FIR were not even present at the protest site," More, a Shiv Sena (UBT) politician, said. Khilare said an FIR was registered against More and his supporters for launching an agitation without police permission and forming an unlawful assembly by breaching a prohibitory order issued by the Pune police under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Maharashtra Police Act. "Notices will be served on the agitators captured on a video, directing them to cooperate with police in investigations because they were booked under bailable offences," the police officer added.
