CISF head constable in Dantewada dies by 'accidental gunshot' while cleaning rifle
Digital Desk | Raipur/Bacheli (Chhattisgarh), Sep 10 (IANS) A Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Head Constable died after sustaining serious injuries from an accidental gunshot while cleaning his service weapon at a camp in Chhattisgarh's Bacheli, police officials said on Thursday. According to the officials, the incident occurred on Wednesday. Head Constable Dattatraya, son of Shivaji B Wangne and a resident of Maharashtra's Ahilyanagar, was cleaning an AK-47 rifle inside his porta cabin at the CISF Camp Bacheli when two rounds were suddenly discharged from it, causing serious injuries to the jawan. He was immediately rushed to Apollo Hospital in Bacheli, where doctors examined him and declared him dead. The body was kept in the mortuary of Apollo Hospital, NMDC Bacheli, before being sent to the District Hospital in Dantewada for necessary legal formalities and post-mortem examination. The deceaseds family members have arrived in Bacheli following the tragedy. Police Station Bacheli has taken cognisance of the matter and is conducting the required legal proceedings and investigation into the circumstances of the incident. Police officials said that the exact cause of the accidental firing will be determined only after a thorough probe. This includes a detailed investigation by the police, Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) examination of the scene and the weapon, and the findings of the post-mortem report. The incident has cast a sombre mood over the CISF camp. Security forces personnel often handle weapons as part of their routine duties, and strict protocols are in place for cleaning and maintenance of firearms. The sudden discharge of rounds during cleaning has raised questions that investigators are now examining closely. Police have assured that all aspects of the case are being looked into carefully to establish the sequence of events leading to the fatal injuries. Further details are expected once the forensic and medical reports are received.

Nagma on co-actor Sanjay Dutts Marathi row: I dont think we should say anything on freedom of speech
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) Veteran actress Nagma has shared her perspective on the ongoing discussion surrounding actor Sanjay Dutts recent remarks about not knowing Marathi despite having spent several years in Maharashtra. Reflecting on her own experience, she said she learned Marathi in school and also spoke the language with people around her. The Suhaag actress explained that learning or speaking a particular language depends on an individuals circumstances and what they feel is necessary. Nagma told IANS, When we were in school, a language was added to the curriculum. That's why we had to learn Marathi while living in Maharashtra. We were taught in school. My mother is also from Maharashtra. That's why I know Marathi. My house help was also from Maharashtra, and so we used to talk to her in Marathi. I have also made a Marathi film. I don't think we should say anything on freedom of speech. Her remarks come after Sanjay Dutt found himself at the centre of a controversy following his refusal to speak in Marathi at a recent Dahi Handi event in Thane. Dutt, who was a guest at the event organized by the Shiv Sena, began addressing the gathering in Hindi. When Shiv Sena leader Pratap Sarnaik requested him to speak in Marathi, the actor reportedly laughed and declined, saying, I spent 6 years in Yerwada Jail, but still I could not learn Marathi.

Digital Desk | Pune, Sep 10 (IANS) A group of people have approached the Pune Police seeking action against social media users who allegedly posted derogatory and objectionable comments targeting a woman who had lodged a complaint against social media influencer Santosh Pandit, police said on Thursday. Pandit has been accused of making allegedly derogatory remarks against Maharashtra Minister Chandrakant Patil and Pune Municipal Corporation corporator Mitali Kuldeep Salvekar. Following a complaint filed by Sarika Kamble, who works with the Pune Municipal Corporation, a case was registered against Pandit at the Kothrud police station. The issue took a further turn after members of the Bhau Foundation approached the Kothrud police station on Monday, seeking action against social media users who allegedly targeted Kamble after she filed the complaint against the influencer. The organisation alleged that Kamble became the target of derogatory remarks and abusive comments on social media simply because she approached the police over remarks that she considered offensive and objectionable. Tanisha Patil of Bhau Foundation condemned the derogatory and objectionable comments made against Kamble through social media and sought strict action against the trolls. We condemn the manner in which derogatory comments have been made through social media. Police should take strict action against such trolls. We will also lodge a complaint with Meta in this regard, Patil said. The organisation said that individuals should not be subjected to online abuse or personal attacks for approaching law enforcement authorities and raising concerns over remarks they find offensive. It urged the police to take appropriate action against the social media users involved in the alleged online harassment of Kamble. The Bhau Foundation said it would also pursue the matter with Meta, the parent company of social media platforms including Facebook and Instagram, seeking action over the allegedly objectionable content targeting Kamble. Santosh Pandit was arrested from his residence in Pune on September 3 in connection with a case of posting obscene and sexually suggestive content targeting Minister Patil and corporator Mitali Kuldeep Salvekar. According to the complaint, Pandit allegedly uploaded objectionable posts and videos on his YouTube account, '@SantoshPandit6278', targeting Chandrakant Patil and Mitali Salvekar. Officials said that legal proceedings are underway, and further details are awaited.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) In a massive exercise to clean up Maharashtras voter database, the Election Commissions ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) drive has uncovered data discrepancies and technical anomalies in the enumeration forms of over 1.22 crore voters currently listed in the states draft electoral roll. Electoral authorities have initiated the issuance of formal notices to all affected individuals, requiring them to submit valid documentary proof to confirm their voter status. Concurrently, to prevent partisan misuse and safeguard against targeted mass deletions, State Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) S. Chockalingam has issued strict administrative directives barring any objections filed by individuals residing outside the targeted Assembly Constituency. Authorities have issued formal notices to all affected individuals, requiring them to submit supporting documentary proof to validate their status. Prior to the launch of the SIR drive, Maharashtras registered voter base stood at 9,78,54,049. Following field verification of enumeration forms, the Election Commission published the draft electoral roll on August 31, retaining 7,71,65,562 voters -- representing 78.86 per cent of the original total. Demographic breakdown of the retained electorate includes male voters: 3,95,89,905; female voters: 3,75,72,570; transgender voters: 3,087; and total retained: 7,71,65,562. Nearly 2,06,88,487 voters (21.14 per cent of the previous roll) were excluded from the draft list. Major factors behind the deletions include the removal of approximately 34 lakh deceased voters and 17 lakh duplicate entries spread across multiple constituencies. Of the 7.71 crore voters retained in the draft list, technical discrepancies were flagged in the enumeration records of 1,22,24,000 individuals, comprising inconsistent relative information for 62,48,281 voters and unmapped relatives for 59,75,626 voters. More than 1,00,000 data discrepancies were flagged per constituency in key areas including Malad, Dharavi, Panvel, Ovala-Majiwada, Kalyan Rural, Khadakwasla, Chinchwad, Hadapsar, Solapur South, Nagpur East, Nagpur West, Nagpur North, Hingna, and Badnera. Sources within the Election Commission confirmed that notices have been served to these individuals, and their voter status will only be confirmed upon the verification of additional evidence. Taking serious note of concerns raised by political parties regarding targeted mass objections aimed at deleting voters belonging to specific communities, the election machinery has introduced strict procedural safeguards. Following reports from Jharkhand where systematic mass applications were submitted by party representatives to drop specific names, the State CEO has directed the Mumbai Municipal Commissioner and all District Collectors to exercise extreme caution while processing claims and objections. Voters currently on the draft list have already undergone basic residential verification and are deemed eligible. While Form-7 remains available to challenge or request removal of an entry, objections will be accepted only from registered voters residing within the same Assembly constituency. Any individual raising an objection must submit valid proof of the challenged voter's ineligibility along with the application. The challenged voter must be granted a formal opportunity to appear at a hearing and present supporting evidence before any final decision is made, the sources said.

MMRDA declares airport-adjacent structure illegal; Kirit Somaiya demands immediate demolition
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) Tensions have escalated near Mumbais Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (Terminal 2) after the Maharashtra Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) confirmed that a religious structure operating near the high-security zone lacks statutory planning permissions and is unauthorised. Former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kirit Somaiya has alleged a deliberate attempt at unauthorised land occupation -- characterising the structure as Land Jihad -- and has pressed state authorities and site operators to initiate criminal action against the trustees and individuals responsible. Following complaints regarding unauthorised construction near sensitive airport land, MMRDA verified that no official approvals, building sanctions, or permissions were ever granted for the religious structure. MMRDA has issued formal notices to Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) directing the immediate removal and demolition of the unauthorised structure to ensure the perimeter remains clear. Somaiya has formally requested both MMRDA and MIAL to go beyond physical clearance by registering a First Information Report (FIR) against the managing trustees and individuals associated with the illegal construction. The controversy highlights ongoing scrutiny surrounding unauthorised encroachments adjacent to critical national infrastructure. Officials note that unregulated structures near VIP corridors, taxi parking lanes, and terminal facilities pose significant security hazards. The matter aligns with previous judicial observations where courts have emphasised that public safety and secure zones near international hubs supersede unauthorised religious claims or structures erected without explicit administrative approvals. Authorities from MIAL and local police departments are currently reviewing directives provided by MMRDA regarding execution steps and necessary security arrangements during the scheduled clearance drive.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, September 10 (IANS) Veteran actress Helen expressed her gratitude on behalf of her husband and celebrated screenwriter Salim Khan after he was honoured with the prestigious Raj Kapoor Lifetime Achievement Award, on Wednesday. Speaking to the media after accepting the honour on Salim Khans behalf, Helen said the award was a special moment for the veteran writer and filmmaker, who has made an incredible contribution to Hindi cinema. This award that I am receiving today is on behalf of Salim Saab. You all know who Salim Saab is, Helen said. Asked about Salim Khans reaction after learning that he had been honoured, Helen said he was thankful to all those who have continued to love and support him. He said, Thank you very much. All who love me, people who love me, trailing him and following him, she recalled. She added that she was grateful to receive the honour on his behalf and said, I am grateful for this award for Salim Sahab. All his films are my favourite. His health is very good. He is a very strong man and sends his good wishes to all of you, to entire Maharashtra and India too. Talking about Helen and Salim Khan, they first crossed paths professionally in the 1963 film Kabli Khan, in which Helen played the female lead while Salim appeared as the antagonist. For the uninitiated, Helen in her old interviews had recalled that they barely spoke to each other during the making of the film. Years later, the two reunited during the making of Don in 1978, the Amitabh Bachchan-starrer which written by Salim-Javed. Helen played Kamini in the film and featured in the iconic song Yeh Mera Dil Yaar Ka Diwana. It was apparently during the making of Don that the two grew considerably closer. Their relationship eventually led to marriage in 1981. For the uninitiated, Salim Khan was already married to Salma Khan and had four children at the time. The relationship initially had met with resistance and rejection from the family, but over the years Helen became an integral part of the Khan family. Professionally, Salim Khan and Helen also shared a connection through films like Dostana and Sholay, in which Helen had memorable appearances. Salim Khan, on the professional front, remains one of the most influential screenwriters in Hindi cinema. Along with legendary poet and writer Javed Akhtar, he co-wrote landmark films including Zanjeer, Deewaar, Sholay, Don, Trishul and Dostana amongst many more.
