"Magicians Active in Polls" says Bonde amid voter list row
Amravati, Aug 11 (UNI) BJP Rajya Sabha MP Dr. Anil Bonde criticised NCP chief Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut over their recent election-related statements, suggesting "magicians and technicians" become active during polls. Bonde termed as "ridiculous but true" Pawar's claim about individuals promising to arrange constituencies through "mantras" and manipulate voting machines. "Such fraudsters likely approached both Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray," Bonde stated, continuing that veteran leaders should immediately report such offers to police rather than disclose them months later. He referenced Pawar's recent comments on Rahul Gandhi's allegations as a "delayed response." The BJP leader also mocked Raut's media engagements: "Having no substantial work, he voices midnight thoughts through morning press conferences." Addressing election integrity concerns, Bonde highlighted the Election Commission's Special In-Depth Verification (SIR) process for voter lists. He questioned Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's contradictory stance: "While alleging inflated voter counts in Maharashtra, he opposes voter list re-verification. This confusion reflects Congress' disarray." UNI NAK SS

Man runs SUV over bike rider for not giving space to jump signal, arrested for attempted murder in Nashik
Nashik: The Gangapur police arrested a 30-year-old man on the charge of attempted murder after he allegedly tried to kill a motorcyclist by repeatedly hitting him with his SUV for not giving way at a traffic signal. The accused has been identified as Shahrukh Shaikh, a resident of Khadkali in Nashik city. After arresting Shaikh on Monday night, police produced him before a city court, which remanded him in three-day police custody. Police registered a case against him under sections 109 (attempt to commit murder), 281 ( rash driving ), and 125(A),(B) (act endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanahita (BNS), apart from other sections of the Motor Vehicle Act. Senior inspector Jagvendrasingh Rajput, of the Gangapur police station, said 21-year-old Prem Bonde, a resident of Untawadi Road, and his cousin had stopped their bike at a signal on the Trimbak Road around 9pm on Sunday. Shaikh, who was behind them at the signal, started continuously honking at them as he wanted to go past. Bonde, however, did not move as the signal had not turned green yet. This got Shaikh angry. Police said when the signal finally turned green, Shaikh started chasing Bonde's bike. Bonde lost control of his two-wheeler. Shaikh even hit the bike from behind, and the two youths on the bike fell down. Rajput said Bonde did not suffer any major injuries from the fall as he was wearing a helmet. However, Shaikh hit the youths repeatedly in an attempt to kill them. Police said both Bonde and his cousin managed to escape with moderate injuries. They reported the matter to police. Rajput said initially, they did not have the registration number of the vehicle. However, police went to the spot and found the broken registration number plate of Shaikh's car. After joining the broken pieces, they got the registration number, after which the accused was tracked down and arrested on Monday evening. The SUV is in the name of the accused man's brother. The accused calls himself an influencer on social media. He also has a restaurant in the Khadkali area of the city. Police are investigating the case further.
