Old video shared as recent attack on Kumbh Mela travellers
The Maha Kumbh Mela has commenced in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, drawing devotees and visitors from across the country. Media reported ( here and here ) a stone-pelting incident targeting a train carrying Kumbh Mela attendees in Maharashtra. Amid this, a video ( here , here and here ) has surfaced on social media claiming to show a train being attacked with stones while en route to the Kumbh Mela. The video, reportedly recorded by a passenger, shows individuals outside the train pelting stones at it. Lets uncover the truth behind this video. Claim : The viral video shows a stone-pelting incident targeting Kumbh Mela travellers from Jalgaon, Maharashtra. Fact : The viral video showing a mob targeting the Bhusawal-Nandurbar passenger train in Jalgaon is from 12 July 2024. This incident has no connection to the Kumbh Mela, which began on 13 January 2025. There are, however, reports of a stone-pelting incident from 12 January 2025, involving the Tapti Ganga Express in Jalgaon, which was carrying Kumbh Mela travellers. Therefore, the claim is MISLEADING . To verify the truth behind the viral video, we performed a reverse image search using a screenshot from the video. This led us to an Instagram post by the page The Trending Indian , where the same video was shared on 14 July 2024. The posts headline states, Train between Jalgaon and Nandurbar targeted by stone-pelting mob in Maharashtra. The description further specifies that the incident occurred on the Bhusawal-Nandurbar passenger train on 12 July 2024. Further investigation led us to the TV9 Marathi YouTube channel, which also reported the same video on 13 July 2024. According to these reports, a passenger train travelling from Bhusawal to Nandurbar was targeted with stones in Jalgaon after being stopped due to chain-pulling. This incident reportedly occurred on 12 July 2024. Further research into the incident led us to several reports ( here , here and here ) confirming that on 12 July 2024, a mob pelted stones at the Bhusawal-Nandurbar passenger train in Jalgaon, Maharashtra, causing panic among passengers. According to the report, a viral video captured the event, showing around 25 individuals throwing stones at the train as terrified passengers screamed and attempted to flee. Following the incident, the Government Railway Police (GRP) and Railway Protection Force (RPF) launched an investigation and filed a case under Railway Act 154. No formal complaints have been filed, and no injuries were reported. The motive behind the stone-pelting remains unclear. Meanwhile, on 12 January 2025, a stone pelting incident was reported near Jalgaon station in Maharashtra ( here and here ). According to the Indian Express , an unknown person threw a stone at a train en route to Uttar Pradesh carrying passengers to the Kumbh Mela. The stone cracked a window but caused no injuries. The Railway Protection Force (RPF) conducted an investigation, with the complaint filed by the ticket checker at Jalgaon. An offence under the Railway Act was registered, and the probe is ongoing. However, the viral video has no connection with the Maha Kumbh Mela and the recent stone pelting incident as it is from July 2024, much before the Kumbh Mela started. To sum up, an old 2024 video of a train stone-pelting incident has been shared as a recent attack on Kumbh Mela travellers.

3 More Arrested in Sarpanch Murder Case, Pressure Mounts for Mundes Ouster
Mumbai: Beed police has arrested two of the three absconding suspects in Sarpanch murder case. Sudarshan Chandrabhan Ghule (26) and Sudhir Sangle (23) have been handed over to the special investigation team (SIT). Meanwhile protests continued over the murder of Massjog village Sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh. Ajit Pawar-led NCP legislator Prakash Solanke also demanded ouster of his partys minister Dhananjay Munde to ensure impartial investigation into the murder case. While Ghule and Sangle were arrested from Pune, one Siddharth Sonawane was held from Kalyan in Thane district. Ghule and Sangle are named in the FIR for the murder. However, Sonawanes name surfaced during the investigation. Police suspect Sonawane, a resident of Massajog village, kept a tab on the movement of sarpanch Deshmukh and updated other accused. With the three new arrests, the total number of the arrested accused in the case has now increased to seven. Krushna Andhale, another suspect, is still absconding. Ghule, the main suspect in the case, has at least 10 serious criminal cases against him including murder, extortion and kidnapping. Sangle also has prior cases like assault and trespassing against him. Both of them have been remanded to 14-days police custody. Deshmukh was abducted and murdered on December 9 allegedly for opposing an extortion bid by Ghule and others, who had demanded money from a windmill company. The post-mortem report revealed that there were 56 injuries on Deshmukhs body. The accused persons allegedly used a gas cylinder pipe with iron wires around it, knuckle dusters and wooden batons to beat Deshmukh. The murder has triggered a major political upheaval in the Beed district where leaders from all parties have opened a united front against NCP minister Dhananjay Munde. They have alleged that Mr. Mundes right hand man Walmik Karad is the kingpin of the murder conspiracy. Karad has been arrested in connection with an extortion case, but not in the murder case. The police have said that they will charge Karad for murder if it is found that the extortion case, which was filed a few days before Deshmukhs killing, and the murder case are linked. An all-party march was held in the neighbouring Parbhani district on Saturday to demand thorough investigation in the Deshmukh murder case. Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange also participated in the protest march. NCP (SP) MLA Sandeep Khsirsagar demanded that the case should be tried before a fast track court. BJP MLA Suresh Dhas said that Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime should be invoked against the accused in the case. NCP legislator Prakash Solanke, who represents the Majalgaon assembly constituency in Beed district, said that Mr. Munde should not remain in the state cabinet so that a fair investigation can be carried out in the case. Mr. Munde should stay out of the cabinet to ensure a fair probe into the sarpanchs murder. If he is unwilling, the (NCP) leadership should ask him to do so. I have spoken to (Deputy CM) Ajit Pawar and (Chief Minister) Devendra Fadnavis, Mr. Solanke said.
Beed sarpanch murder: NCP MLA demands Dhananjay Munde's ouster from Maharashtra Cabinet
MUMBAI: NCP MLA Prakash Solanke on Saturday suggested that the party leader and minister Dhananjay Munde be ousted from the Maharashtra ministry to ensure a fair probe in the Beed sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh murder case. Solanke is the first Nationalist Congress Party leader and second from the Mahayuti coalition to target Munde, an MLA from Beed district. BJP MLA Suresh Dhas has also been criticising Munde, without taking his name, over the crime in Beed. When he was guardian minister of Beed for five years, Munde delegated all powers and authority to his close aide Walmik Karad who has been arrested in an extortion case (in connection with Deshmukh's murder), Solanke told reporters. He alleged Karad became an unconstitutional authority in Beed where lawlessness and extortion became rampant and anti-social elements called the shots. Munde should stay out of the cabinet to ensure a fair probe in the sarpanch's murder. If he is unwilling, the (NCP) leadership should ask him to do so. I have spoken to (Deputy CM) Ajit Pawar and (Chief Minister) Devendra Fadnavis, and also publicly, said Solanke, who represents the Majalgaon assembly constituency in Beed district. Santosh Deshmukh, the sarpanch of Massajog village, was abducted, tortured and murdered on December 9 for attempting to stop an extortion bid on an energy firm operating a windmill project in the region. Walmik Karad has been arrested in the extortion case in connection with the murder. Police so far arrested six out of seven persons named in the murder case.

When the driver of the vehicle honked and asked him to give a path, the man reportedly spoke to them rudely stating the road does not belong to anyones father. Following this, the ministers wife went home and informed her sons. According to the sources, the ministers sons came to the village to find out who the man was. The police pacified and counselled the ministers sons. However, a crowd gathered at Paladhi village and Budruk village. They vandalised 10 shops including foot wears and television shops.

NEW DELHI : The government on Monday approved a series of major projects, including the National Mission on Natural Farming (NMNF), two railway lines, and the One Nation One Subscription initiative for study resources for students and researchers. Announcing these decisions after a Union Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Information & Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw explained that the government had approved the launch of the NMNF as a standalone Centrally Sponsored Scheme under the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare. The scheme will have a total cost of Rs 2,481 crore, with the central share of Rs 1,584 crore and the state share of Rs 897 crore until the 15th Finance Commission (2025-26). The Minister added that farmers, rooted in traditional knowledge passed down through generations, will practice Natural Farming (NF), a chemical-free farming method that integrates local livestock, natural techniques, and diversified crops. NF follows agro-ecological principles tailored to local knowledge, location-specific technologies, and the region's unique agro-ecology. In another decision, the Union Cabinet approved three railway multitracking projects to enhance connectivity, reduce logistics costs, lower oil imports, and cut CO2 emissions. The total cost of these projects is approximately Rs 7,927 crore, with completion expected within four years. These projects are expected to create direct employment for about one lakh human-days during the construction period. The projects include the Jalgaon-Manmad 4th line (160 km), Bhusawal-Khandwa 3rd & 4th lines (131 km), and the Prayagraj (Iradatganj) - Manikpur 3rd Line (84 km). These upgrades will improve logistical efficiency by expanding existing line capacity, enhancing transportation networks, and streamlining supply chains, contributing to accelerated economic growth. The Cabinet also approved the One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) initiative, a new Central Sector Scheme to provide nationwide access to scholarly research articles and journal publications for students and researchers. The scheme will be administered through a simple, user-friendly, and fully digital process. It will offer a One Nation One Subscription facility for government higher education institutions and R&D laboratories of the central government. A total of about Rs 6,000 crore has been allocated for this initiative for the years 2025, 2026, and 2027, Vaishnaw said. One Nation One Subscription aims to build on and enhance the range of government initiatives in education to maximize access to quality higher education for Indias youth. The benefits of the scheme will be available to all higher educational institutions under the management of central or state governments, and to R&D institutions of the central government. The national subscription will be coordinated by the Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET), an autonomous inter-university center of the University Grants Commission (UGC). According to the government release, more than 6,300 institutions have been onboarded, which will benefit nearly 1.8 crore students, faculty, and researchers who will be able to access the resources. Additionally, the Cabinet approved an investment of Rs 1,750 crore for the construction of the Tato-I Hydro Electric Project (HEP) in Shi Yomi District, Arunachal Pradesh. The estimated completion period is 50 months. With an installed capacity of 186 MW (3 x 62 MW), the project will produce 802 million units (MU) of energy. The power generated will improve the supply in Arunachal Pradesh and contribute to balancing the national grid. In another decision, the Cabinet approved an investment of Rs 1,939 crore for the construction of the 240 MW Heo Hydro Electric Project in Shi Yomi District, Arunachal Pradesh, with a completion period of 50 months.

If MVA wins, Congress will send Maha money to Delhi, says Shah
MUMBAI: Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said if the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi won the November 20 Maharashtra assembly elections, the state would turn into an ATM (automated teller machine) for the Congress. Shah was in Chalisgaon in Jalgaon to campaign for BJP candidates. He alleged that the MVA would withdraw funds from Maharashtra by using the states resources and send them to Delhi. The Sonia Gandhi-Manmohan Singh government didnt act against Naxalism and terrorism for a decade due to vote-bank politics, Shah said, accusing the Congress of practising the politics of deception. They say that after the formation of the MahaYuti government, investment in Maharashtra has reduced. The truth is that after the formation of the government of Eknath Shinde and Devendra Fadnavis, our Maharashtra is number one in FDI in India, he said. He said if the BJP-led MahaYuti forms the government, the Modi administration will ensure greater development of the state. The BJP is going to form the government in Jharkhand, and the MahaYuti is going to retain power in Maharashtra, he said. He accused the Congress of making false promises. Rahul Gandhi was seen waving a copy of Babasaheb Ambedkars Constitution. He used the same copy while taking the oath in Parliament. When some journalists got their hands on the very copy, it had blank pages. By showing a fake Constitution, Rahul broke the trust of the people and insulted Babasaheb. It appears Rahul has never read the Constitution, he said.

Even if Indira Gandhi returns from heaven, Article 370 will not be restored: Amit Shah
PARBHANI/JALGAON/DHULE: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday asserted that Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, will not be restored even if Congress stalwart and late PM Indira Gandhi comes down from heaven. The BJP's star campaigner sought to corner the Congress over Muslim reservation and accused the main opposition party of deliberately stalling construction of a Ram temple at Ayodhya for years. With just a week left for the high-stakes assembly polls in Maharashtra, Shah stepped up his campaigning for the ruling Mahayuti front, of which the BJP is a member, and addressed three rallies in a day where he attacked the Congress and its Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) ally Shiv Sena (UBT). Addressing a rally at Dhule in North Maharashtra, Shah said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi should remember that even if his fourth generation were to come, Muslims won't get reservations meant for Dalits, tribals and other backward castes. A few days ago, Ulemas (Muslim scholars) met the president of Congress party and said Muslims should be given reservation (in jobs and education). If reservation has to be given to Muslims, then reservation for SCs/STs/OBCs will have to be cut. Rahul Baba, not only you but even if your four generations were to come, they cannot cut the quota meant for SCs/STs/OBCs and give it to Muslims, Shah insisted. The Union minister made it clear that Article 370, scrapped in 2019 by the BJP-led central government, won't be restored under any circumstances. PM Modi accuses Congress of 'dangerous intentions' on reservations, vows to protect 'roti, beti, maati' in Jharkhand Even if Indira Gandhi were to return from heaven, Article 370 won't be restored, the BJP stalwart told the gathering. Describing the opposition MVA grouping as an Aurangzeb Fan Club, Shah noted the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance abides by the ideals of Maratha warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and freedom fighter Veer Savarkar. At another election meeting in Jalgaon, also in North Maharashtra, the former BJP president averred that if the MVA wins the November 20 assembly polls, the state will turn into an ATM (automated teller machine) for the Congress. They (MVA) will withdraw funds from Maharashtra by using the state's resources and send the money to Delhi. In contrast, if the BJP-led Mahayuti forms a government, the Modi administration will ensure greater development for Maharashtra, Shah said at the meeting in Chalisgaon town. Targeting Gandhi, the Lok Sabha MP from Raebareli, he accused his party of making false promises and misleading people. Recently, Rahul Gandhi was seen waving a copy of Babasaheb Ambedkar's Constitution. He used the same copy while taking the oath in Parliament. When some journalists got their hands on the very copy, it had blank pages. By showing a fake Constitution, Rahul broke the trust of people and insulted Babasaheb. Apparently, you have never read the Constitution, Rahul baba, Shah said. The Sonia-Manmohan regime didn't act against Naxalism and terrorism for 10 years (2004-14) due to vote bank politics, the home minister opined. Supreme Court to Ajit Pawar's NCP: Stop using Sharad Pawar's photos, videos; Stand on your own legs The entire Congress politics runs on deception. They are saying that after the formation of the Mahayuti government (in June 2022), investment in Maharashtra has reduced. The truth is after the formation of the government of (CM) Eknath Shinde and (deputy CM) Devendra Fadnavis, our Maharashtra is No.1 state in FDI inflows in India, he said. A Mahayuti government post-polls will work more for the welfare of women, farmers and other sections of society, Shah maintained. Your one vote will not only form a Mahayuti government but your one vote will also deposit Rs 2,100 in the account of Maharashtra's beloved sisters. Your one vote will result in depositing Rs 15,000 instead of Rs 12,000 annually in farmers' account, he said. The BJP leader said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's guarantee is like 'patthar ki lakeer' (carved in stone), whereas the Congress reneged on pre-poll promises in Telangana, Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh after coming to power in these states. Targeting NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar, Shah said the senior politician served as Maharashtra CM and also as a Union minister for many years, but did not do anything to give classical language status to Marathi. At his third rally at Jintur in Parbhani district in the Marathwada region, Shah averred that Congress MP Gandhi, who has been campaigning for the MVA in Maharashtra, will fail once again. Sonia ji tried to land the plane named Rahul Baba 20 times and 20 times the plane crashed. Now again, an attempt is being made to land the plane for the 21st time in Maharashtra. Sonia ji, your Rahul plane is going to crash for the 21st time, the BJP leader opined. Shah accused the Congress of deliberately stalling construction of a Ram temple at Ayodhya for years. PM Modi built the Ram temple and also constructed the Kashi Vishwanath corridor (in Varanasi) which was demolished by (Mughal emperor) Aurangzeb. Now, you should be ready to visit Gujarat as the Somnath temple is also being made of gold, he told the gathering. Modi has made the country safe and prosperous, Shah said. I have visited all the places like Vidarbha, North Maharashtra, West Maharashtra, Konkan, Mumbai, Marathwada. Do you want to know the result of assembly polls? Listen to me, on November 23 (result day), the Maha Vikas Aghadi is going to be wiped out from Maharashtra, he declared. Shah said Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, a former BJP ally, is now in alliance with those who opposed renaming Aurangabad as Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.

In contrast, if the BJP-led Mahayuti forms the government, the Modi administration will ensure greater development for Maharashtra, Shah said. The BJP is going to form the government in Jharkhand, and the Mahayuti government is going to come to power in Maharashtra, Shah said. This is because Congress makes false promises and misleads people, he added. Recently, Rahul Gandhi was seen waving a copy of Babasaheb Ambedkar's Constitution. He used the same copy while taking the oath in the Parliament. When some journalists got their hands on the very copy, it had blank pages. By showing a fake Constitution, Rahul broke the trust of the people and insulted Babasaheb. Apparently, you have never read the Indian Constitution, Rahul baba, Shah said.

They are saying that after the formation of the Mahayuti government, investment in Maharashtra has reduced, he said. The truth is that after the formation of the government of Eknath Shinde and Devendra Fadnavis, our Maharashtra is number one in FDI in the whole of India, he said. Your one vote will not only form the Mahayuti government in Maharashtra but your one vote will also deposit Rs 2,100 in the account of Maharashtra's beloved sisters. Your one vote will result in depositing Rs 15,000 instead of Rs 12,000 annually in the farmers' account. Your one vote will strengthen the future of India, he said. Shah said PM Modi's guarantee is like 'patthar ki lakeer' (carved in stone), whereas the Congress has reneged on pre-poll promises in Telangana, Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh. Targeting senior politician Sharad Pawar, Shah said, Pawar was the chief minister and Union minister for so many years but did not do anything to give classical language status to Marathi.
BJP faces Maha ire as cotton price angers farmers
MUMBAI: BJPs assembly poll candidates are facing cotton farmers discontent over prices in north Maharashtra, a stronghold of the saffron party. BJP minister Girish Mahajan, a five-time MLA from Jamner in Jalgaon district and known as a trouble shooter for the party and, is finding the going tough this time in the constituency due to anger among cotton farmers, lack of irrigation facilities and unemployment. Mahajan had led a hunger strike in 2011 demanding Rs 6000 per quintal of cotton. After 13 years, cotton is sold at the same rate against the MSP of Rs 7500, leaving the farmers peeved. Besides the low cotton prices, this year crops were damaged due to heavy rain. We are unable to recover even the invested amount, said Sanjay Patil, a farmer from Shendurni in Jamner. He said against his investment of Rs 80,000 in cotton, he got a production worth Rs 60,000. Asked whether his wife received financial aid under the Ladki Bahin scheme, Patil said, Government is not doing us any favour; Rs 1500 is not enough to meet household expenses. Frankly, we do not need any such financial assistance, we want good rates for our produce. The mood in Jamner echoes in other assemblies in north. Most of the old textile mills are closed. This area was once known for high milk production but most of the diaries are shut now. There is no job for youth, said Ranjeet Shinde, a social activist.
BJPs troubleshooter in trouble in Jamner: Girish Mahajan faces rising discontent
MUMBAI: In the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections, BJP leader and Minister Girish Mahajan, often seen as the partys troubleshooter, faces an unexpected challenge in his Jamner constituency. Despite winning the seat five times, Mahajan is contending with rising discontent among cotton farmers, a lack of irrigation facilities, and high unemployment rates in the region. Mahajan, who once led a hunger strike in 2011 to demand a fair price of Rs 6,000 per quintal for cotton, now faces criticism after 13 years as the cotton is sold at the same rate against the MSP of Rs 7500 per quintal. Therefore, cotton belts in North Maharashtra are angry with the ruling party and are demanding fair prices for their crops. Sanjay Patil, a farmer from Shendurni in Jamner, Jalgaon district, planted cotton on his four-acre plot, investing Rs 80,000 in seeds, fertilisers, and labour. However, his yield was only worth Rs 60,000, resulting in a significant loss. This year has been a double blow, Patil said. Heavy rains severely reduced cotton production, and fair prices are hard to come by. We couldnt even recoup our investment. We hoped to recover expenses in the second season, but crops that looked promising were ultimately damaged by the pink bollworm infestation. When asked if his wife received financial aid under the Ladki Bahena scheme, Mr. Patil acknowledged it but immediately detailed the losses he faced this year. Firstly, the government isnt doing us any favour; Rs 1,500 isnt enough to cover household and rising expenses. Frankly, we dont need handouts like beggarswe need fair prices for our crops, Patil stated. In the 2024 state assembly elections, BJP leader Mahajan represents a broader trend across many constituencies, where BJP and its allies are facing significant discontent, primarily from farmers and unemployed youth, in North Maharashtraa region that has traditionally been a BJP stronghold. In the 2014 state polls, the BJP secured 15 out of 19 assembly seats across the Khandesh region, covering Jalgaon, Dhule, and Nandurbar districts, with the opposition holding only four seats (three for Congress and one for NCP, which is now with the ruling party). However, by the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, BJPs seat count dropped from four to two, reflecting a shift in voter support. In Jamner, Mahajan is up against former ally Dilip Khodpe this time , a prominent local leader and former Jalgaon District Panchayat president. Khodpe, belonging to the Maratha sub-caste Asami, is expected to draw support from Marathas, Banjaras, Dalits, and Muslimskey communities in the area. Analysts suggest this could lead to a surprising outcome, similar to recent upsets by opposition candidates in Ahmednagar and Beed in the Lok Sabha elections. If these communities vote sincerely, along with the anger of farmers and unemployed youth directed against Mahajan, Jamner could deliver a surprising result like those of NCPs Nilesh Lanke in Ahmednagar, Bhaskar Bhagae in Dindori, and Bajrang Sonawane in Beed, said a local journalist who wished to remain anonymous. A similar wave of anti-incumbency is affecting the ruling party MLAs. In many areas, BJP rebels have turned the contests triangular, adding pressure on Chief Minister Eknath Shindes Shiv Sena candidates in Pachora, Amalner, and Jalgaon Rural. In Lok Sabha elections, we vote based on the BJP, but in state polls, we look at the candidate and the work theyve done during their tenure. We want a candidate who is accessible, someone who can pick up our calls and help when needed. Khandesh produces high-quality cotton and bananas, yet theres no food processing or textile industry here. Most of the old textile mills have closed, and while this area once thrived in milk production, even the dairies have shut down. Qualified youth here are jobless, and that affects their prospects for marriage, creating a ripple effect in society. But no one seems to hear the people's voice, said Ranjeet Shinde, a social activist.
