Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, whose relations with the government have not been exactly warm, tried his own brand of ice breaker with Uddhav Thackeray when the CM paid him a visit as part of a government delegation to talk about the Maratha reservation issue.

During lockdown, especially in recent months, it is fear of the coronavirus that fraudsters have effectively used to cheat people. In normal times, it is the attraction of getting things at a discount or for free that leads to people being duped.

Sachin Waze was dismissed from service by Mumbai Police Commissioner under Article 311 (2) (b) without a departmental enquiry. What is the process of a departmental enquiry, and can the dismissal be challenged?

Sachin Waze, a 1990-batch officer, was suspended soon after National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested him on March 13 in connection with the Ambani terror scare and Manuskh Hiran murder case.

An official from the state Home Department said that since the majority of the allegations in Jalan's complaint were already referred to the state CID by the DGP, the ACB will not be conducting investigations into it. Jalan had sent his complaint letter to the DGP office and ACB earlier.

The case was controversial since the senior inspector of Gamdevi police station, Anup Dange, who had registered the case, was later suspended when Param Bir Singh became Mumbai Police Commissioner.

The probes, known in ACB parlance as “discreet inquiries”, are based on allegations of corruption contained in the complaints received against Singh from the two officers and the bookie.

Who is Sunil Mane, how is he linked to the Ambani terror scare case and what has NIA investigation in the case so far revealed?

The NIA sought Sunil Mane's custody claiming that it wants to obtain his electronic devices and call data records alleging that he has a role in the conspiracy to kill businessman Mansukh Hiran.

The businessman is known to some of the suspects questioned in the case. He is also part of a government project that would require usage of gelatin sticks, sources in the agency said.

The police had information that the company had allegedly been hoarding Remdesivir, which has been in high demand in the state for Covid-19 treatment.

Senior cabinet members from the Nationalist Congress Party and the Congress attacked Fadnavis for procuring the medicine on his own, questioned his intentions, and accused him of interfering in the work of the police.

In all, 251 adults were arrested and 15 juveniles held in the case. Among those arrested, 75 who allegedly played a major role in the incident are still behind bars.

The NIA has learnt that 62 unaccounted bullets, which they found during a search of Waze's residence, were likely meant to be given to two history sheeters who were to drive a vehicle with explosives to the Ambani residence as per this original plan.
