The Bombay High Court on Thursday set aside the bail granted to former Mumbai police officer Sachin Waze, the main accused in the Antilia explosives scare case involving a Scorpio vehicle carrying gelatin sticks found parked near industrialist Mukesh Ambani's residence in Mumbai, officials said.

What links Ayushmann Khurrana's extortion scare to Salman Khan?

Highlights Ayushmann Khurrana allegedly received a threatening message demanding a huge ransom. A Bengaluru-based engineer has been arrested for allegedly targeting Bollywood celebrities using the Lawrence Bishnoi gang's name. The case has renewed attention on Salman Khan, who has faced repeated threats allegedly linked to the gangster. Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana has become the latest celebrity to receive an extortion threat in the name of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, raising concerns about safety of film personalities. The Mumbai Crime Branch arrested a 30-year-old Bengaluru-based IT engineer, identified as Vaibhav Mishra, on November 4 for allegedly sending threatening messages to several actors, including Khurrana and Tusshar Kapoor. The accused reportedly demanded a huge sum from Khurrana while claiming links to the Bishnoi gang. Investigations have found no evidence connecting Mishra to the criminal network. The development has drawn comparisons with Salman Khan's long-running security concerns. The actor has faced repeated threats allegedly linked to Bishnoi, with the gangster's hostility reportedly stemming from the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. In April 2024, gunmen also opened fire outside Khan's Mumbai residence. The connection has become relevant as the Bishnoi gang's name has surfaced in several incidents involving Bollywood personalities. These include the October 18 shooting targeting Tiger Shroff's car in Mumbai and a separate extortion threat against Tusshar Kapoor, in which the caller allegedly demanded 400,000. Police investigations into the latest threats are ongoing, with officers examining the messages and the accused's possible motives.

Keenan-Reuben double murder: HC upholds key convicts murder conviction, reduces lifer to 20 years

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 5 (IANS) The Bombay High Court on Thursday upheld the conviction of Jitendra Rana, the prime accused in the 2011 Keenan Santos and Ruben Fernandes double murder in Mumbais Amboli, and acquitted two co-accused of the murder charge for lack of evidence. A division bench of Justice M.S. Karnik and Justice Sandesh Patil offered some relief to key convict Rana alias Chaina (40) by reducing his sentence from life imprisonment to 20 years in jail, without remission, considering his age. The High Court delivered the verdict on appeals filed against the 2016 verdict delivered by a Special Womens Court, which had sentenced all four to life imprisonment for the murders. The High Court acquitted co-convicts Sunil Bhot alias Chota and Deepak Tival of murder charges but upheld their sentences for other offences. The fourth accused in the case, Satish Dulgaj, died last year during the hearing on appeals. Keenan Santos (24) and Reuben Fernandez (29) were fatally attacked with weapons in Mumbai's Amboli in October 20 2011 after allegedly confronting men harassing their female friends with whom they had gone for a party at Amboli Bar and Kitchen Restaurant in Andheri West. Earlier, Advocates Sudeep Pasbola and Yug Chaudhry, representing the accused, argued that the alleged molestation incident did not occur and that the prosecution had failed to prove the reason and motive behind the attack. The defence also argued that it was a mutual fight that occurred after grave and sudden provocation and, therefore, should be treated as culpable homicide under the exception to Section 300 of the Indian Penal Code, and not a case of murder. Meanwhile, Special Public Prosecutor Aabad Ponda argued that witness statements, forensic evidence, and eyewitness testimony prove the attack was premeditated. He rejected the defence's argument, saying that after one of the accused was slapped, he left the scene threatening to kill and later returned with a knife, a cricket stump, and a large bamboo stick. Ponda told the court that Keenan's body had deep wounds caused by a sharp-edged weapon and that he died from excessive bleeding due to the knife attack. While Keenan died the same day, Reuben succumbed to his injuries 10 days later. The trial court in May 2016 convicted all four convicts for murder and multiple charges under the Indian Penal Code and the Bombay Police Act and sentenced them to life imprisonment for the remainder of their lives. The other charges slapped by the police included outraging modesty (Sections 354, 509), causing hurt with dangerous weapons (Section 324), criminal intimidation (Section 506), and mischief (Section 434). The trial of the high-profile double murder, which sparked public outrage, took several twists and turns, including the murder of Avinash Bali, a key witness in the case, in August 2018.

Bikaji Foods' Q2 profit falls 11 pc to Rs 71 crore

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 5 (IANS) Bikaji Foods International Limited on Thursday reported an 11.3 per cent year-on-year (YoY) decline in net profit to Rs 70.78 crore for the quarter ended September 2026 (Q2 FY27), compared with Rs 79.77 crore in the corresponding period last financial year (Q2 FY26). The decline in earnings came despite robust revenue growth during the quarter. Revenue from operations rose 13.1 per cent to Rs 921.44 crore from Rs 814.9 crore a year ago, according to its stock exchange filing. However, profitability remained under pressure as EBITDA declined 7 per cent year-on-year to Rs 119 crore from Rs 128 crore. Consequently, EBITDA margin narrowed to 13 per cent from 15 per cent in the year-ago quarter. Among business segments, the company's core ethnic snacks business delivered strong performance, with revenue growing 19.7 per cent year-on-year. The western snacks segment also recorded sharp growth of 44.2 per cent, as per its regulatory filing. The packaged sweets segment, however, witnessed an 11.3 per cent decline in revenue. The company attributed the weakness primarily to the timing of the Diwali festive season, which is scheduled in the subsequent quarter this year. Revenue from the papad segment declined 6.3 per cent due to supply-chain challenges affecting handmade papad production. For the first half of FY27, Bikaji Foods reported a 12.8 per cent year-on-year increase in revenue from operations to Rs 1,672.8 crore, supported by volume growth of 6.2 per cent. EBITDA during the period stood at Rs 217.7 crore, with a margin of 13 per cent, while profit after tax came in at Rs 128.4 crore. Earnings per share stood at Rs 5.22. Commenting on the performance, Deepak Agarwal, Chairman and Managing Director of Bikaji Foods International, said the company witnessed healthy volume and value growth in both the ethnic snacks and western snacks categories during the quarter. Shares of Bikaji Foods International closed 3.4 per cent higher at Rs 489 apiece on the NSE ahead of the earnings announcement.

ED raids 13 premises in Tripura, Bengal and Maharashtra over alleged fake govt tender racket

Digital Desk | New Delhi/Agartala, Nov 5 (IANS) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted search and seizure operations at 13 premises across Tripura, West Bengal and Maharashtra in connection with an alleged fake government tender racket operated through a fictitious entity named the 'Directorate of Higher Education'. The central probe agency said on Thursday that the searches were carried out under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, targeting individuals and entities allegedly linked to the racket. The searches were conducted by the ED's Agartala Sub-Zonal office on Wednesday, in connection with an ongoing money-laundering investigation arising from FIR registered at Capital Complex Police station in Agartala, the probe agency said in a statement. It said that the FIR was registered on the complaint of Nagpur based M/s S.K. Sales Corporation, against Abhishek Chandra, a Tripura cadre IAS officer, and co-conspirators, alleging that the firm was fraudulently induced to pay Earnest Money Deposits (EMDs) of around Rs 14.55 crore between September 2024 and February 2025 against purported tenders of the of Tripura government in the mid-day meal and power sectors, which were never floated. The offences registered under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, relating to criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, cheating, cheating by personation and forgery, are scheduled offences under the PMLA, 2002. Accordingly, the ED recorded an ECIR (Enforcement Case Information Report) and initiated investigation under the PMLA, 2002. Investigation has revealed that Abhishek Chandra (presently under suspension) represented himself as the officer controlling tender processes in the Tripura government and introduced the complainant to one Utpal Kumar Chowdhury as the official responsible for processing payments. The EMDs were paid through demand drafts in favour of 'Directorate of Higher Education', which was, in fact, a proprietary concern of Utpal Kumar Chowdhury bearing a name deceptively similar to the genuine government department. Forged tender notices and work orders were allegedly used, and a joint venture with Krishna Chakraborty, represented by her husband Sudip Paul, was used to structure the collection of funds. Partial 'refunds' were made at critical junctures to sustain the confidence of the victim and induce further payments. The ED said that the funds credited into the fictitious entity's accounts were allegedly layered within days, and in some instances within 24 hours, through a network of shell entities, several of which are registered in the names of domestic staff and associates of Utpal Kumar Chowdhury. The proceeds of crime were allegedly utilised for acquisition of immovable properties, including flats in a housing project and a residential property in Mumbai's Shivaji Park in the names of family members of Abhishek Chandra, as well as for foreign travel and luxury goods. Funds were also allegedly routed through an alleged hawala conduit based in Kolkata. The ED is already investigating Utpal Kumar Chowdhury and others, arising out of five FIRs registered in West Bengal and Tripura, wherein the same fictitious entity and modus operandi were used to defraud multiple victims of an aggregate amount exceeding Rs 44 crore. In that case, provisional attachment orders on January 22, 2026 and July 31, 2026, have already been issued. The search proceedings were conducted in the residential premises of Abhishek Chandra and hawala operators and also in the office premises of several companies/entities connected to the money trail, the ED statement said. During the course of search proceedings, voluminous documentary evidences of hawala transactions, several high value property details and other evidences indicating suspicious control over corporate entities were found and seized. Digital devices and records belonging to various accused persons crucial to the current investigation were also seized. Further investigation is underway.

2021 Antilia bomb-scare: Bombay HC cancels Mumbai ex-cop Sachin Vaze's bail

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 5 (IANS) In a setback to controversial Mumbai ex-cop Sachin Vaze, the Bombay High Court on Thursday cancelled bail granted to him by a lower court in the 2021 Antilia bomb-scare and Mansukh Hiran murder cases. A bench of Justices Girish Kulkarni and Neela Gokhale passed the order while accepting an appeal filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), against the September 29 order of a special court granting bail to Vaze. The impugned order of the special court is quashed and set aside. The appeal by the NIA is allowed, the High Court order said. Vaze is an accused in the Antilia bomb scare case, wherein an SUV laden with explosives was recovered near industrialist Mukesh Ambani's Mumbai residence in February 2021. Hiren was one of a possible witness in the case who was later found murdered. The High Court had earlier imposed an interim stay on the bail granted to the former Assistant Police Inspector Vaze by the Special NIA Court, resulting in Vaze remaining in judicial custody in Thane Central Prison where he has been lodged for the past five years. The NIA had opposed the controversial dismissed cop's bail, claiming that Vaze could tamper with witnesses and destroy evidence. He (Vaze) was earlier charged in a fake encounter case. He was a police officer who had the duty of protecting the public. But he himself indulged in criminal activities where he not just tried to instill fear and terror but he murdered a person, the NIA's lawyer said. Earlier while hearing the NIA's appeal in October, the High Court expressed surprise over Vaze's lifestyle, including the use of high-end cars. The bench also flagged Vaze's extended stay of about 100 days in a room booked at the Oberoi hotel, asking how an officer of the rank of Assistant Police Inspector could afford to drive high-end vehicles. The High Court said that these aspects of Vaze's financial situation, conduct, and professional record were relevant to assessing the charges against him. Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh, representing the NIA, shared with the High Court witness statements that mentioned that Vaze used expensive and luxury vehicles while he was an Assistant Police Inspector. During the hearing, Anil Singh read out a witness statement, which said that Vaze travelled in a black Mercedes and asked those accompanying him to turn off their mobile phones. The court then asked whether the Mercedes belonged to Vaze and whether there was any evidence that the vehicle was registered in his name. After the NIA responded in the affirmative, the court asked whether it was normal for an Assistant Police Inspector to own such an expensive car. The court remarked, Since we have not yet seen an Assistant Police Inspector driving a Mercedes... The court also sought information from the NIA regarding Vaze's other vehicles and reviewed a list of five vehicles he used while serving as Assistant Police Inspector. This list included a white BMW, a black Volvo, a white Mercedes, a white Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, and another black Mercedes. Seeing the number of vehicles, the court said, He (Sachin Vaze) owns five vehicles... The court noted that, according to statements submitted by the NIA, Vaze travelled in a high-end Mercedes to the Mumbai Police Commissioner's office and the Maharashtra Chief Minister's residence, 'Varsha'. NIA's lawyer Anil Singh also told the court that Vaze had stayed at a seven-star hotel in South Mumbai for around 100 days. The court asked how a police officer, earning a monthly salary of around Rs 90,000 at the time, could afford such an expensive lifestyle. The NIA said that these vehicles owned and used by Vaze are being linked to alleged extortion in the case.

Kieron Pollard Set To Step Down As MI London Head Coach In The Hundred

Former West Indies: Former West Indies cricketer Kieron Pollard is set to step down as MI London's head coach after earning a promotion with the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in the same role. Pollard was in charge of MI London for the 2026 season, where he took his team to a fourth-place finish. They missed out on qualifying for the knockouts by virtue of having an inferior NRR after they were tied on points with Manchester Super Giants and Sunrisers Leeds. A report in Cricinfo stated that Pollard is now set to leave MI London to get some time off, as The Hundred franchise will have a new head coach now. This leaves The Oval with two roles open for the head coach. Earlier, Surrey head coach Gareth Batty left his role with the English club to take over as assistant coach at Chennai Super Kings. Surrey co-owns MI London with Reliance Industries Limited, and the Oval is the home ground for both Surrey and MI London. Surrey are likely to invite interested candidates for their head coach role, and the successful candidate can be allowed to work with MI London, the report added. Late last month, Pollard was promoted to MI's head coach in the IPL. He served as the batting coach in recent years and takes over the head coach role from Mahela Jayawardene. Surrey are likely to invite interested candidates for their head coach role, and the successful candidate can be allowed to work with MI London, the report added.

IIT Bombay suicide case: Sahil Wakode's parents meet Rahul Gandhi

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) Parents of the deceased IIT Bombay student Sahil Wakode met the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, here on Thursday in order to seek justice for their son. The second-year student was found dead on the IIT Powai campus in September. This reportedly came after he was caught using a mobile phone during an examination by the authorities. Speaking to IANS after meeting Gandhi, his father Ravindra Wakode said: My son died by suicide on September 18, 2026. We filed an FIR on the 19th (of September)... yet, no arrests have been made. He alleged that the Mumbai Police have failed to carry out a serious probe. We are not getting the adequate support from police and have hence filed a petition in the High Court. After that, we sought an appointment and came to meet Rahul Gandhi. He spoke with us for about an hour and a half and assured us that he stands with our family, he father added. The student's mother, Sonali Wakode, demanded immediate police action against Professor Suryanarayana Doolla, who was earlier sacked from his post as Dean, Students Welfare at IIT Bombay, and the institute's Director, Professor Shireesh B. Kedare. I demand that Kedare and Professor Suryanarayana Doolla be apprehended as soon as possible. My child must receive justice; no other 'Sahil' should ever have to suffer like this. A mother is crying out for justice for her child, she told IANS. The parents expressed disappointment, saying that they are unable to ensure justice for their son despite him being their only child. Earlier, Wakode's parents moved the Bombay High Court seeking a fair and independent investigation into his death by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or a Special Investigation Team (SIT). They had also filed an application before a special court assigned to hear cases under the Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act for a court-monitored investigation into his death. Previously, the Mumbai Crime Branch recorded the statement of Professor Doolla in connection with the alleged suicide case. The professor was questioned for approximately eight hours earlier this month, during which his statement was recorded. He denied all allegations levelled against him. Meanwhile, Congress MP Varsha Gaikwad said that Rahul Gandhi also met the family of Aniket Ambore on Thursday, who allegedly died by suicide at the IIT Bombay campus in 2014, adding that the LoP has assured support to both families.

Dawood link: ED attaches Mumbai property, bank balances worth Rs 4 crore

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 5 (IANS) The ED attached assets, including properties and bank balances, worth Rs 4 crore in a case of extortion and conspiracy to acquire a property by coercing the owners in the name of fugitive don Dawood Ibrahim and his aide Salim Iqbal Qureshi alias Salim Fruit, brother-in-law of Chhota Shakeel, an official said on Thursday. Based on the investigation, the ED provisionally attached Dongris Lambat Building, presently held in the name of Shazia Salim Iqbal Qureshi, wife of Salim Fruit, along with bank balances held by Aslam Abdul Rehman Patni and other accused. The total value of properties provisionally attached is Rs 4 crore, the ED said. The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Mumbai Zonal Office, provisionally attached the movable and immovable properties under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. These properties include movable properties in the form of bank balances and also one immovable property, the ED said. The ED investigation was initiated on the basis of an FIR registered at Dadar Police Station and subsequently investigated by the Anti-Extortion Cell, Crime Branch, Mumbai Police. The FIR pertains to allegations of criminal conspiracy, cheating, criminal breach of trust, forgery and use of forged documents. The investigation revealed that the accused, including Shabbir Ahmed Hassan Karolia and Yusuf Ahmed Hassen Karolia, allegedly conspired to illegally acquire an immovable property named Lambat Building by impersonating the original owner and fabricating documents, including a deed of conveyance, the ED said. The ED investigation revealed that Aslam Abdul Rehman Patni allegedly acquired a 50 per cent share of Lambat Building belonging to Yasmin Mohammed Ahmed and Late Sherzada Jangrez Khan in 2019 by threatening and coercing them in the name of the D-Company, Dawood Ibrahim and Salim Iqbal Qureshi and Salim Fruit. The original owners were dispossessed of their share without any payment of consideration. Subsequently, the property was transferred by Aslam Patni to Shazia Salim Iqbal Qureshi, wife of Salim Fruit, thereby facilitating its acquisition and retention in the name of the latters family, the ED said. The investigation indicated that the successive transactions were structured to give a semblance of legitimate transfer to a property allegedly acquired through extortion and coercion, with the property ultimately coming to be held in the name of the wife of Salim Fruit, the ED said.
