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. Police noted that Saksham and Himesh were once close friends and are both history-sheeters. The mother of the deceased boy questioned the police's claim that her son had a criminal background. She demanded a fair and impartial probe into this incident.

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.

After Delhi blast connection, Nuh linked to MP cybercrimes
BHOPAL: Haryanas Nuh district, which is under glare as an operational base of the white-collar terror module linked to 10/11 Delhi blast case, has also come out as the nucleus of Madhya Pradeshs biggest-ever inter-state cybercrime ring. MP polices cybercrime unit has traced masterminds of the racket to Nuh. The cyber fraud ring involved over 1000 bank accounts of people in Vindhya and Mahakoshal region of MP, being used as mule accounts to park and circulate fraud money. More than 25 people from MP, Haryana and Bihar have been arrested and charge-sheeted. As the investigations progress, its becoming clear that operatives based in Nuh are the masterminds of the racket. They sourced SIM cards and mule accounts mostly from MP and used them for their inter-state racket, said a MP police involved in the probe. The men in Nuh operated an illegal call centre at a flat in Gurugram, which was used to make calls to people for duping them. The SIM cards, sourced by operatives in MP and other states, reached the kingpins through middlemen based in Patna. The mule bank accounts served as the pipeline through which more than Rs 3,000 crore was routed. The funds were actually proceeds of cybercrimes committed in various parts of the country, religious charity money as well as money from unknown sources suspected to have been used possibly for terror funding. Large sum of money was routed through mule accounts to the Middle East, the officer added. The fraudsters also operated shell companies in Hyderabad and parts of Maharashtra. The 25-plus men arrested over the last 11 months have been charge-sheeted. Now we are going to zero in on the racket masterminds in Nuh, he said. Years back it was Jamtara in Jharkhand, but crackdown saw newer hotspots in West Bengal. Over last couple of years Nuh and adjoining Rajasthan districts have emerged as the cybercrime hub, SP (cybercrime cell) Pranay Nagwanshi said.
