Dissmissed Beed cop Ranjit Kasale booked again for an objectionable post, this time against Fadnavis
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Dismissed sub-inspector Ranjit Kasale, who is already embroiled in several criminal cases, has been slapped with additional charges from the Beed cybercrime branch for allegedly posting derogatory and defamatory content against Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on social media platforms. The latest FIR, registered on Monday, stems from a complaint lodged by BJP IT cell's state co-convenor Sambhaji Surve. The complaint alleges that Kasale published content deemed defamatory to Fadnavis and of an objectionable nature, resulting in police intervention. Police have applied sections 197 and 353(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) alongside section 66 of the Information Technology Act, 2000. These new allegations are expected to intensify the legal challenges for the former policeman, who is currently under police detention for a different case. A Mumbai crime branch team recently caught Kasale in Delhi and transported him to Mumbai for questioning. Following his court appearance before a magistrate, he received two days of police custody. This detention concluded on Monday, June 2, after which he appeared before the Fort court. Earlier, Kasale faced arrest for allegedly attempting to create communal discord and making offensive remarks against elected representatives. The current case adds to a growing list of complaints against him. Before these events, police had registered two separate FIRs against Kasale at Beed's Shivajinagar police station and the district's cyber police station, following complaints from social activist Mohan Aghav. Additionally, Kasale faces charges in Mumbai for similar violations involving provocative social media content directed at political figures and communities. According to police sources, Kasale's online activities demonstrate consistent behaviour aimed at causing discord and damaging the reputations of public officials.

Beed: Retired teacher falls prey to digital arrest con, loses 83L
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: A retired teacher from Ambajogai in Beed district has been defrauded of over Rs83 lakh in another instance of the "digital arrest" scam. The victim reported being tricked into believing she was under scrutiny for alleged involvement in money laundering and terror funding. Superintendent of police Navneet Kanwat has acknowledged the incident and ordered an urgent investigation to swiftly resolve the case. An officer from the Beed cybercrime branch confirmed that the retired schoolteacher was coerced into parting with the money after being falsely accused during a simulated "digital arrest" conducted via a WhatsApp video call. Cybercrime officials said the 62-year-old woman received a call from an unidentified person posing as a police officer from Mumbai. To win her trust, the caller even cited the name of an additional director general of police, currently serving in the state police, and claimed that the senior police officer "specially requested" assistance in her case. The teacher said the suspect caller claimed a SIM card registered on her Aadhaar number was used for illegal activities and that she was under investigation for funding terrorist organisations and laundering money. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pés inchados: Experimente isso para ajudar a drenar o fluído do edema A arte do herbalismo Undo The fraudster, who identified himself as Sanjay Pise, made a WhatsApp video call showing fake police credentials.

MCOCA against dacoits who targeted windmill site in Beed
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Beed district police have invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against a gang of dacoits involved in a high-profile theft on April 7 when they looted equipment worth ₹12.9 lakh from Avada company's wind turbine installation site at Vida village in Kej taluka. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The site's watchman, Akash Bhaskar Jadhav (26), and his colleague, Abhijit Dundhav, filed a complaint in this regard. Jadhav said the incident occurred on April 7. Around 11.45pm, 14 unidentified people arrived at the location. When the complainants confronted them, four of them assaulted the duo with wooden sticks and tied them up. The remaining 10 climbed up a ladder into the wind turbine's structure and stole key components — including a rotor cable (Rs2 lakh), starter cable (Rs8.1 lakh) and earthing cable (Rs2.8 lakh) — together worth Rs12.9 lakh. An FIR was filed under IPC section 310 (2) at Kej police station and a detailed investigation launched. On April 14, the Kej police and Beed's local crime branch teams arrested four of the accused — Baban Sardar Shinde (40) of Nandurghat, Dhanaji Ravji Kale (23) of Terkheda in Dharashiv, Mohan Hari Kale (30) and Lalasahab Sakharam Pawar (26) of Dasmegaon. Six other members of the gang have been identified and are absconding. Police recovered stolen property — including copper wire and a four-wheeler — worth Rs9 lakh from the arrested men. Beed superintendent of police Navneet Kanwat said, "Investigations revealed that the gang has carried out 11 serious crimes in Beed and Dharashiv districts, including armed robberies, burglaries and grievous assaults within Kej, Neknur, Dhoki and Vashi police station limits." Kej police inspector Vaibhav Patil prepared a proposal to invoke MCOCA based on the criminal history and organised nature of the gang. The proposal was submitted to Kanwat on May 13 and forwarded to special IG Virendra Mishra at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, who granted the sanction on May 29. "Subsequently, MCOCA sections 3 (1) (ii), 3 (2) and 3 (4) were invoked. The case has been transferred to assistant SP Kamlesh Meena of Kej for further investigation," said Kanwat.

No diversion of funds from any dept for Ladki Bahin scheme: Fadnavis
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis clarified on Thursday that no funds from any govt department were diverted towards Mukhyamantri Ladki Bahin scheme. A section of ruling party leaders as well as the opposition had criticized the state govt for alleged diversion of funds from key departments to sustain the scheme. "The Ladki Bahin scheme is of individual interest. If any funding is made for such a scheme, the money has to be disbursed from the exchequer to that particular department, such as tribal welfare, social justice or other departments. This is the method of accounting for the state's annual budget. Those who fail to understand should come to me as I have already written a book on how to read the annual budget," Fadnavis told newspersons at Parbhani. He said funds for tribal people and scheduled castes, among other weaker sections, need to be reserved as per their percentage of population, but schemes of individual interest get priority while reserving such funds. "Deputy CM Ajit Pawar (who is also the finance minister) has already offered elaborate explanations on the issue," the CM said. Fadnavis, who was in Parbhani to lay the foundation of the new Government Medical College and Hospital, among other public works, also addressed a public rally in which he announced that the state govt would soon launch as many as 1,200 public services on WhatsApp. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo "Right from paying money towards these services to getting the desired documents, everything will be on WhatsApp. We are committed to transparent, pro-people, and speedy governance," he said. Referring to the FDI data released by the RBI, Fadnavis said that Maharashtra had alone bagged 40% of the total investment in the country. "FDI attracted by Maharashtra is more than such investments in Karnataka and Gujarat among other states taken together. Even foreign investors have reposed faith in the double engine govt in Maharashtra and made our state their first choice," he said. Fadnavis also criticised Congress for allegedly raising doubts over 'Operation Sindoor'. "Minds of Congressmen have become 'Pakistan occupied' just like PoK. They are raising doubts over the bravery of our armed forces," he said. The CM said Indian armed forces destroyed nine terror hideouts and killed 150 militants, including family members of terrorist leader Masood Azhar within "23 minutes". Earlier, addressing an event at Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Agricultural University in Parbhani, Fadnavis said that honorary scientist awards will be given to farmers engaged in successful farming and cropping experiments.
