Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut claims 35 MLAs from Shinde faction set to defect to BJP
MUMBAI: Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Monday claimed that as many as 35 MLAs from the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena camp are set to defect to the BJP after the local body elections in Maharashtra. Earlier, Maharashtra BJP president Ravindra Chavan had made a similar claim that after the local body polls, there would be a major political earthquake in the state. He even said that there is no importance to the number two position deputy chief minister in government, only the number one chief minister is important. He further said that he wants to keep the mahayuti alliance intact until December 2 of this year. Reacting to this, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut claimed that as many as 35 MLAs from Eknath Shindes camp are set to defect. He also said that Ravindra Chavan was appointed as the BJP state president solely for this purpose. He further said that Chavan has been targeting members of the Shinde faction to join the BJP, especially in Kalyan-Dombivali. Currently, the Kalyan-Dombivali Lok Sabha constituency is represented by Eknath Shindes son, Dr Shrikant Shinde. Eknath Shinde says friction between BJP and Shiv Sena a media creation, denies complaining to Amit Shah Raut said, Shinde thinks two leaders in Delhi are with him, but they are with no one. He added that just as top leaders once split the undivided Shiv Sena, the BJP will similarly dismantle the Shinde-led Sena without hesitation. According to Raut, no one will come to their rescue either. He also claimed that Shindes extended visit to Delhi is an attempt to find a way to prevent his party from collapsing, but the BJP is firm in its plans. In the coming days, there will be a lot of political activities in Maharashtra that will once again give major headlines, he said. However, Shinde has denied any such move by the BJP. He said that his party, the Shiv Sena, shares a strong ideological alliance with the BJP and that no such development is likely to take place. According to sources, the BJP is aiming to form its own government. To achieve this, they may ask the Shinde-led Sena MLAs to join the BJP in sufficient numbers so that the anti-defection law would not apply to them.

NEW DELHI : India has an estimated 25.61 lakh people living with HIV (PLHIV), the second largest number globally in 2024, although the annual HIV incidence rate remains very low in the country, according to a government report released on Monday to mark World AIDS Day. The India HIV Estimation 2025 technical report, released by Union Health Minister JP Nadda, states that in 202425, 73% of newly detected HIV-positive persons reported acquiring the infection through heterosexual transmission. This was followed by injecting drug use, which accounted for 11.5% of reported transmissions. Another 5.4% of cases were attributed to homosexual/bisexual transmission, while 3.5% were due to vertical transmission. The HIV epidemic in India continues to be low, with adult HIV prevalence at 0.20% in 2024. While overall prevalence is low, India has 25.61 lakh people living with HIV (PLHIV), the second largest PLHIV population globally. The annual HIV incidence rate also remains very low at 0.05 per 1,000 uninfected population, the report said. Of the total 25.61 lakh PLHIV, 13.97 lakh are males and 11.64 lakh are females. Maharashtra (3.99 lakh) has the highest PLHIV burden, followed by Andhra Pradesh (3.10 lakh) and Karnataka (2.91 lakh). Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Bihar, Gujarat and Punjab also have estimated PLHIV figures ranging from one lakh to two lakh. Together, these nine states account for 74% of the total PLHIV burden in India, the annual report said. It added that the total PLHIV population in India in 2024 contributed 6.3% to the global HIV burden of 4.08 crore and 37.1% of the 69 lakh cases in the Asia-Pacific region. In 2024, Indias population living with HIV was second only to South Africas 78 lakh, owing to its population size, the report noted. HIV burden in South-East Asia remains substantial; 88,000 newly infected in 2024: WHO In 2024, around 64,470 new HIV infections and 32,160 AIDS-related deaths were estimated nationally, marking declines of 48.69% and 81.42%, respectively, compared to 2010. These reductions far exceeded the global averages of 40% and 54%, the report added. Highlighting Indias sustained progress under the National AIDS and STD Control Programme (NACP), Nadda reaffirmed the governments commitment to a rights-based, stigma-free, and inclusive HIV response. He emphasised that under NACP-V, access to prevention, testing, and treatment services has continued to expand, demonstrating strong and sustained momentum across key programme areas. Nadda said that between 2010 and 2024, new HIV infections declined by 48.7%, AIDS-related deaths by 81.4%, and mother-to-child transmission by 74.6%. Testing coverage increased from 4.13 crore in 202021 to 6.62 crore in 202425, while the number of people on treatment rose from 14.94 lakh to 18.60 lakh. Viral load testing also expanded significantlyfrom 8.90 lakh to 15.98 lakh tests. He noted that these achievements surpass global averages for the same period and reflect strong political commitment, sustained domestic investment, evidence-based programme strategies, and consistent community engagement. The report also found that AIDS-related mortality was highest in Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland. However, it noted that AIDS-related deaths have declined between 2010 and 2024 in nearly all states and UTs except Chandigarh, Punjab, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura, where more PLHIV died of AIDS-related causes in 2024 compared to 2010. Globally, annual AIDS-related deaths declined by 54% between 2010 and 2024. The report stated that two statesMizoram and Nagalandhad an HIV prevalence of more than 1%. It also highlighted a noticeable increasing trend in the prevalence of new infections in the northeastern states of Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and Assam, as well as in the northern state of Punjab, primarily driven by the rise in new infections. Nationally, annual new cases were estimated to decline by around 48.70% between 2010 and 2024, but increased by more than 400% in Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura. Similarly, in Punjab and Meghalaya, the annual new infections estimated for 2024 have nearly doubled compared to 2010. In 2024, 30 districts were estimated to have an adult HIV prevalence of 1% or more, with 29 of these located in Nagaland (11 districts), Mizoram (10), Manipur (5), Meghalaya (2) and Arunachal Pradesh (1).

Maharashtra woman marries corpse after family kills her boyfriend over inter-caste relationship
MUMBAI: 21-year-old Aanchal Mamidwar married her deceased lover Saksham Tate in Nanded district of Maharashtra on Monday. Saksham was murdered by Aanchal's father and brother, who both disapproved of her relationship with a lower-caste man. Aanchal arrived at Saksham's house upon hearing of his death. In an act of defiance, she applied turmeric on her lover's corpse and vermillion on her forehead, publicly 'marrying' him at his funeral. Videos of Aanchal's marriage with Saksham's lifeless body went viral on social media. The woman decided to stay in her deceased husband's house for the rest of her life as their daughter-in-law. She declared that the solemn ceremony would make their love immortal. She stated that she married Saksham even though he was dead, because their love remains very much alive. Aanchal said, Our love won, even in Saksham's death; and my father and brothers lost. She demanded that her father and brothers be hanged for the cold-blooded murder. Aanchal had met Saksham through her brothers. However, the Mamidwar household disapproved of their relationship due to caste differences. Aanchal and Saksham had been in a relationship for the last three years. Police said, after Mamidwars learned that Aanchal was planning to marry Saksham, they had planned to kill him. The honour killing happened in the old Ganj area of Nanded. Saksham was with his friends when a dispute broke out between him and Aanchal's brother Himesh Mamidwar. Then, Himesh fired a gun at Saksham, piercing his ribs with a bullet. Immediately after, he smashed Saksham's head on a tile, killing him. Police soon arrested Himesh, his brother Sahil, and their father Gajanan Mamidwar. Police have filed a case of honour killing against all accused, and are probing further into the case.

ED raids 12 locations linked to religious institute in Maharashtra over money laundering allegation
NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at 12 locations on Monday across Maharashtra's Nandurbar and Mumbai in connection with a money laundering allegation against religious educational institute Jamia Islamia Ishaatul Uloom. Law enforcement agencies last year found that two Yemeni nationals were illegally residing at the institute premise in Akkalkuwa, leading to the probe. Agencies also found that there were irregularities at As-Salam Hospital, run by the same trust, including illegal occupancy and administrative lapses. It is alleged that the college was showing fake or inflated patient figures to obtain approvals and benefits. Additionally, it is alleged that tribal land in Akkalkuwa was taken under the guise of expansion. Agencies are still probing into the mater. During the probe, the local police found that the organisation has received donations from both domestic and foreign sources into the institutes bank accounts. This led to cancellation of the trust's Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act registration by Ministry of Home Affairs on July 15, 2024 for allegedly channelising foreign funds to non-registered NGOs. The probe is based on an FIR and chargesheet filed by Akkalkuwa Police in April 2025. The ED is looking into violations under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), a criminal law used to trace and prosecute money laundering activities, and Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) which regulates foreign exchange transactions. The agency is also looking into allotment of land and money trail for the same.
