Digital Desk | Pune Sep 21 (IANS) A social media influencer was forced to prostrate in front of Raj Thackerays photograph for allegedly mocking Raj Thackeray in one of his reels. According to a NDTV report, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena workers captured the influencer, Mahesh Mote, and forced him to prostrate before a photograph of Raj Thackeray with slippers on his head and black ink smeared on his face. He was recorded while he apologized on camera in the same position while doing sit-ups. The video showed tears flowing down Mote's cheeks while the latter apologising to Raj Thackeray and the MNS workers for alleged insult and also pleading before them to be forgiven and let off. I inadvertently said something wrong about Raj Saheb, and I also mistakenly spoke inappropriately about Shubham Dada and other MNS office-bearers. Today, I deeply regret my mistake. Because of this reel, I have found myself in this predicament. I sincerely apologise to the MNS party and to all of you, Mote pleaded, with wet eyes. According to reports, a sub-divisional president of Hardaspur Assembly constituency, Shubham Jagdale alleged that the influencer used abusive and offensive language against MNS chief Raj Thackeray in a video posted about 15 days ago. Previously, the influencer was in Keralam but as soon as he returned to Pune, MNS workers got information and brought him to an MNS Public relations office, where the apology video was recorded. Jagdale claimed that Mote was given mahaprasad, meaning that the latter was treated roughly. Boasting about the incident, the MNS worker said that anyone who would try to tarnish Raj Thackerays image would meet a similar fate. We brought him to our office and made him lie down before a portrait of the respected Raj Saheb Thackeray and demanded an apology, a MNS leader was heard saying. In further boasting, he stated, In true MNS style, we gave him a fitting reply in our own language - something you might even call 'Mahaprasad'. I believe that if anyone makes such remarks against Raj Saheb Thackeray, MNS will respond in exactly this manner. --sut/mr

Kerala: Man arrested over possession of banned narcotics in Kannur
Digital Desk | Kannur, Sep 20 (IANS) Police in Kerala's Kannur district have arrested a 39-year-old man for allegedly possessing the banned narcotic drug MDMA, officials said on Sunday. The accused was arrested from near the Kololam Road Junction in the district's Koodali area. Police recovered 1.277 grams of MDMA from his scooter while searching the accused. The arrested person has been identified as Siddique V.P. (39), a native of Kololam, in Kerala's Chalode. An official statement said that the arrest was carried out by a team led by Mattannur Police Station SI Rahul Raghunath, under the direction of Kannur City Police Commissioner B.V. Vijaya Bharat Reddy IPS. The team included CPOs Vigilmon, Rijil, Shamna and Nibin, along with DANSAAF team members ASI Ajith, ASI Mahesh and SCPO Sanish K. Earlier this month, a college guest lecturer, along with four other people, was arrested in connection with an alleged drug racket that was allegedly supplying MDMA and ganja to students and youngsters in Nilambur and neighbouring areas in Kerala's Malappuram district. The arrested include P. Suhail, a guest lecturer at a college in Mampad, along with Reena T.N., Vivek Vijayan, and Subrahmanyan. The arrests were made by a Nilambur police team led by Sub-Inspector Arshid K.M. following a tip-off about the alleged drug trade. Police initially detained Subrahmanyan and seized 0.4 grams of MDMA and 0.5 grams of ganja from him. During questioning, he allegedly provided information about the network and told investigators that he had been regularly supplying MDMA to Suhail, Vivek, and Reena. Acting on the information, police carried out further operations and arrested the three others. According to police, Suhail allegedly worked with the other accused to supply synthetic drugs to students and their acquaintances. The police action caused concern in the area, particularly over the alleged involvement of a person working as a lecturer in a drug distribution network targeting youngsters. The case assumes significance amid growing concern over the spread of synthetic drugs among young people in Kerala, with police intensifying action against local distribution networks and their suspected suppliers.
