  • Last week, a bakery owner asked a young girl to come to his bakery.

    He then tricked her into smelling chloroform and the girl lost consciousness: he sexually assaulted her and threatened to kill her if she informed anyone.

  • Outdoor air purifying units, 'WAYU' were inaugurated and installed in four locations in Mumbai.

    However, upon a site visit, they were found to be non-functional and according to traffic police, ineffective in purifying air.

    WAYU units, developed by IIT, are supposed to reduce air pollution at busy traffic junctions by 40-60%.

    However, constables said, WAYU units stopped working within a few days of installation.

  • In upcoming civic elections, MNS is going all out to retain Dadar, an MNS bastion.

    In 2012, MNS won all 7 seats in Dadar but with party in crisis, this seems difficult.

    Raj Thackeray has set up a war-room and a social media team.

    He refused to divulge plans but winning Dadar will be the focus as a loss there could make them irrelevant.
