Land Dispute Turns Ugly: Man Pulls Knife On 2 Outside Bar, Arrested
1 2 Nagpur: A simmering dispute over a land deal flared up into a near-deadly showdown outside a bar in Beltarodi late Tuesday night when a 42-year-old man pulled a knife on two acquaintances in what police are calling a serious threat to life. At around 10.30pm, Shrikant Rangnath Bodkhe (37), a resident of Diwan Layout, Manewada, was standing outside a bar with his friend Gajanan Kadu when Gaurav Vijay Shendurnikar, a familiar face with a not-so-friendly past, showed up. Shendurnikar, known to both men, exchanged a few words with Bodkhe before heading into the bar for a drink. That's when Kadu mentioned that Shendurnikar still owed him money from a previous land deal — money he'd been dodging for a while. A few minutes later, Shendurnikar invited the duo inside the bar for a drink. But instead of burying the hatchet, Shendurnikar started hurling abuses at Bodkhe, rehashing an old quarrel. Things escalated fast. In a dramatic move, Shendurnikar stormed out of the bar, walked to his car parked nearby, pulled out a knife and started threatening to kill both Bodkhe and Kadu. The two men didn't wait to see if he meant it — they fled and went straight to the police. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Beltarodi police swung into action.

Sex in Navi Mumbai bus: Couple traced, fined by court
Navi Mumbai: A young couple who were caught on camera having sex in the back row of a fairly empty civic-run AC bus in Navi Mumbai last month were recently traced and fined Rs 2,000 each by a local court. They expressed remorse in court. The video had prompted the civic body to suspend the bus conductor for not being alert and failing to take action against the couple. He was later reinstated. The clip was shot by a motorist who spotted the couple—a delivery agent and a medical laboratory assistant—from a window of the bus. The conductor was said to have been seated in the front, along with a few passengers, and, therefore, didn't spot them. After Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation's transport wing filed a complaint at Kamothe police station, an FIR was lodged under Section 296 of BNS and Sections 110 and 117 of Maharashtra Police Act for obscenity in public and the couple were traced based on the video, said police inspector Prashant Tayade.
