Mumbai Confidential: Dropping a chit

While drawing a chit to decide the name of newborn tiger cubs at Siddharth zoo in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar dropped a chit that had the name Aaditya, as it was the name of opposition leader Aaditya Thackeray. The CM and his deputy decided to draw another chit that had the name Vikram. Finally the two male cubs were named Vikram and Kanha while the female cub was named Shravani.

A Comeback

The quashing of the two FIRs against IPS officer Rashmi Shukla by the Bombay High Court last week was the talking point among IPS officers in the state last week. The development is seen as a confirmation of the officer’s return to the state from central deputation. However, the pertinent question is, will she come back as DGP of state police or be rewarded with a much sought after role, such as heading a major police Commissionerate like Mumbai.
