MVA govt collapsed as MLAs honey-trapped with hidden cameras, Pegasus-like system: Sena (UBT)
Hidden cameras and a Pegasus-like surveillance system were used to honeytrap Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) MLAs and MPs, leading to the collapse of the Uddhav Thackeray-led government in 2022, the Shiv Sena (UBT) claimed on Tuesday. A Saamana editorial stated that some MLAs of the undivided Shiv Sena and the NCP switched loyalties due to pressure from Central agencies. At least 18 MLAs and four MPs were "honeytrapped", prompting them to join hands with the BJP to save their image.

It is now clear that the MVA government collapsed due to this (honey) trapping," the editorial said. Pegasus is a spyware developed by Israeli cyber-arms company NSO Group. Live Events The BJP had a system to honeytrap, and even policemen conducted surveillance on the opposition, the Saamana said. When a pen drive containing evidence of honeytrapping, which involved Shiv Sena MPs and MLAs, was handed over to Eknath Shinde , they set out on their journey to Surat, Guwahati and then to Goa. This is all like a suspense thriller, the editorial said. The Sena (UBT) was alluding to the split engineered by Shinde in the undivided Shiv Sena in 2022. The Saamana stated that Shinde initially lacked the numerical strength and had the backing of only nine or ten MLAs at the time. However, the people from the home department and the then leader of the opposition, Devendra Fadnavis, blackmailed MPs and MLAs. The editorial stated that Shiv Sena ministers Sanjay Shirsat, Yogesh Kadam and Dada Bhuse, and their NCP colleague Manik Kokate should be sacked from the state cabinet. Some ministers were honeytrapped, and they will also have to go. The conduct of some ministers indicates that a cabinet reshuffle is on the cards in Maharashtra, the Saamana added.

Joe Burrow's home got robbed and the pawn shop owner just pleaded guilty
(Photo/Jeff Dean/AP) You think you're safe at home while you're out throwing touchdowns? Not if you're Joe Burrow. Turns out, while the Bengals QB was doing his thing in Dallas last December, a crew of international thieves was breaking into his home and walking off with high-end watches, jewelry, and more. But here's the twist: the loot ended up in a Manhattan pawn shop. And now, the man who bought and sold it all just pled guilty. Yep, a New York City pawn shop owner is at the center of a massive federal case after he was caught fencing stolen luxury goods, many from Burrow's home. It's not just a robbery story. The pawn shop owner admitted he bought stolen luxury goods tied to a national burglary ring Dimitriy Nezhinskiy, 43, just pleaded guilty in Brooklyn federal court to conspiring to receive stolen property and the items in question? High-end luxury watches, designer bags, and jewelry taken from some of the biggest names in sports. According to federal prosecutors, Nezhinskiy knowingly bought these items from an international theft crew, one that specifically targeted pro athletes while they were away playing games. Burrow's home was burglarized while he was in Dallas for a Bengals game in December 2024. And the guy buying his stuff was sitting pretty behind a Manhattan storefront. Nezhinskiy didn't act alone. He and business partner Juan Villar ran the fencing operation out of their pawn shop and New Jersey storage units. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo Villar pled guilty earlier in June. This was no random smash-and-grab, it was a slick, international theft operation The burglary of Burrow's home wasn't isolated. Prosecutors say the same crew hit homes belonging to Patrick Mahomes , Travis Kelce , Luka Dončić, and Mike Conley. These weren't amateurs. This was a South American-based criminal ring that timed their robberies to games, using high-tech tools to break into mansions while players were out on the field. The pawn shop duo's role? They provided a black market pipeline for the stolen goods, quickly flipping designer items for profit and laundering the inventory through pawn shop sales and private resellers. When the FBI raided the shop and storage units earlier this year, they recovered a trove of goods: everything from fine wine and luxury watches to handbags and even sports memorabilia. Joe Burrow called the burglary deeply personal and 'unsettling' on Netflix's Quarterback Burrow opened up about the break-in on the Netflix docuseries Quarterback , saying: 'I just get very uncomfortable… Your house is one of those [things].' His tone said it all: this wasn't just about missing items, it was about trust, safety, and the sense of being watched. Nezhinskiy faces up to five years in prison, $2.5 million in restitution, and the forfeiture of assets. He could also be deported, depending on final rulings. His business partner is already awaiting sentencing, and prosecutors say this is just the beginning. Multiple arrests have already been made in the wider burglary ring, and more indictments are expected. The case has put a spotlight on just how vulnerable high-profile athletes are when they travel and how professional these crime rings have become.

Derabassi surpasses Mohali in waste management, cleanliness
Mohali: In a notable shift in urban sanitation rankings, Derabassi—a satellite town of Mohali—has outperformed Mohali city in key cleanliness parameters, particularly in door-to-door garbage collection and source segregation. According to the latest results released by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Derabassi scored a perfect 100% in five categories, while Mohali managed full marks in only four. Derabassi emerged as the top performer in door-to-door garbage collection (100%) and source segregation (60%), the highest scores among all Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in the district. In stark contrast, Mohali Municipal Corporation recorded the lowest scores in these two crucial areas—32% in garbage collection and 24% in segregation. Derabassi MC president Asha Upneja attributed the success to a well-coordinated fleet of garbage collectors and sustained public awareness efforts. "Our teams actively encourage residents to segregate waste at the source. Door-to-door collection is carried out diligently, which helped us achieve 100% in Swachh Survekshan," she said. In addition to its waste management success, Derabassi also scored 100% in the cleanliness of residential areas, market zones, and water bodies, reinforcing its commitment to holistic urban hygiene.
