Thane police seized 10.5 tonnes of Khair wood valued at ₹31.72 lakh, arresting the truck driver Anilkumar Gupta. A larger smuggling operation is suspected.

Police seized 10.5 tonnes of khair wood, valued at Rs 31 lakh, from a truck in Thane and arrested its driver, a crime branch official said on Wednesday.

"The market value of the wood is estimated at Rs 31,72,500. In addition, police also seized the truck used in transportation, valued at Rs 10 lakh," he said.
Police arrested the truck driver, identified as Anilkumar Gupta (54), a resident of Dhule, under section 303(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and relevant sections of the Indian Forest Act.

12 individuals in Thane face charges for electricity theft amounting to Rs 12 lakh

In Thane, 12 individuals face charges for stealing electricity worth over Rs 12 lakh, discovered during inspections by MSEDCL. The theft happened over two years. The investigation continues with no arrests yet.

Police in Maharashtra's Thane district have filed charges against 12 individuals for allegedly pilfering power worth over Rs 12 lakh. The authorities uncovered this illegal activity following inspections conducted by the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) in the Kongaon area of Bhiwandi.
On Saturday, MSEDCL officials discovered that numerous consumers had tampered with power supply lines. It was found that several individuals had bypassed their electricity meters, illegally drawing power directly from the main wires attached to electric poles, according to an official from the Shanti Nagar police station.
The estimated value of the stolen electricity amounts to Rs 12.21 lakh, with the alleged theft occurring over a two-year period from October 2022 to December 2024. This revelation has prompted the registration of a case under the Electricity Act against the 12 accused parties.
Despite the serious nature of the charges, no arrests have been made yet. "The investigation is still ongoing," said a police official. "We are diligently verifying the extent of each individual's involvement as detailed in the complaint."
The incident underscores ongoing efforts by MSEDCL and local law enforcement to curb power theft, a pervasive issue that impacts revenue and service delivery. As investigative work continues, authorities assure that all resources are being deployed to ascertain the full scope of the network involved in this illegal activity.

A Thane court sentenced a man for kidnapping a minor, refuting rape charges due to lack of evidence, highlighting legal challenges in proving such cases.

Thane Man Sentenced for Kidnapping Minor

In a notable judgment, a Thane court sentenced a man for kidnapping a minor, dismissing rape charges over lack of evidence, underscoring challenges in proving such cases.

A Thane court sentenced a man for kidnapping a minor, refuting rape charges

A Thane court sentenced a man for kidnapping a minor but acquitted him of rape due to lack of evidence. The case reveals the legal intricacies of proving sexual assault against minors.

A court in Maharashtra&rsquo;s Thane district has convicted a 47-year-old man for kidnapping a minor girl and sentenced him to 7 years in jail.
Additional Sessions Judge (Kalyan) P R Ashturkar, however, dropped rape charges pressed against Deepak, alias Ganesh Bhanudas Bhuktar, citing lack of evidence.
A copy of the order passed on April 8 was made available on Friday.
Ambernath resident Bhuktar was booked in March 2018 after being accused of kidnapping the 13-year-old girl and taking her to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, then Aurangabad.
Judge Ashturkar held that the minor&rsquo;s lack of consent or resistance was irrelevant in a kidnapping case. The court also said that Bhuktar had secretly given her a phone, which was &ldquo;indicative of malicious intent&rdquo;.
The kidnapping charge has been proved beyond reasonable doubt, the court held.
However, the court found the rape allegations lacked specific and clear evidence. It said the girl and her mother failed to provide any specific details regarding the alleged sexual assault, including date, time, or place.
Furthermore, the medical evidence did not support forceful sexual assault, the court said, acquitting Bhuktar of rape charges under the Indian Penal Code (IP) and Protection of Children From Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The court then convicted Bhuktar of kidnapping and sentenced him to seven years in jail and imposed a fine of Rs 3,000 on him.
Additional Public Prosecutor Sachin Kulkarni said six prosecution witnesses, including the teenager and her mother, were examined during the trial.

Authorities Push for Fast-Track Trial to Ensure Swift Justice
A chargesheet will be filed within the next week in connection with the brutal rape, torture, and murder of a 12-year-old girl in Maharashtra&rsquo;s Thane district, a senior official confirmed on Thursday.
The accused, Vishal Gawli, allegedly abducted the girl with the assistance of his wife, Sakshi Gawli, from the Chakki Naka area of Kalyan on December 23, 2024, while she was playing outside her home. According to police reports, Vishal Gawli then raped and murdered the child. The couple subsequently transported the victim&rsquo;s body in an auto-rickshaw to Bapgaon on Kalyan-Padgha Road and dumped it there.
The girl&rsquo;s body was discovered on December 24, leading to the immediate arrest of Sakshi Gawli the same night. Vishal Gawli was apprehended the following day in Buldhana district. He is a resident of Kolsewadi in Kalyan tehsil, while his wife Sakshi, who works in a bank, is reportedly his third wife. Both accused are currently in judicial custody.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone III Kalyan) Atul Zende stated that the investigation is in its final stages, with all efforts being made to ensure a strong case without any loopholes. Authorities are also consulting senior lawyer Ujjwal Nikam to reinforce the case and ensure a watertight prosecution.
Officials are working towards having the case tried in a fast-track court to expedite justice for the victim&rsquo;s family. The commitment to swift legal action aims to bring the perpetrators to justice and prevent similar crimes in the future.

A tailor was arrested on Monday for allegedly kidnapping a nine-year-old boy for ransom of Rs 23 lakh with which he wanted to build a house and murdering him in Thane district of Maharashtra, police said.
The boy, identified only as Ibadat, went missing when he was returning from a mosque in Goregaon village where he had gone for evening prayers on Sunday.
Prima facie, the accused is known to the victim. He probably lured the victim to accompany him under some pretext, a Badlapur police station official said.
Police are investigating the exact circumstances under which the boy was kidnapped.
"The kidnapper called up the family of the boy and demanded Rs 23 lakh for releasing him. He told them that he wanted money to build a house. Strangely, he disconnected the call abruptly," the official said.
Police launched a search for the boy after receiving the complaint on Sunday but failed to trace him or the kidnapper.
"On Monday afternoon, Ibadat's body was found stuffed in a sack hidden in the home of a villager," the official said.
However, it is not clear whether the arrested accused was the same villager or someone else.
Police have registered an FIR under section 364 (Kidnapping or abducting in order to murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), said Badlapur police station assistant inspector Govind Patil.
He said the accused is a tailor from the same locality of Goregaon village in Badalpur of Thane district.
