Case Against Five For Illegal Drone Use During Kalachowki Mahaganpati Procession In Mumbai
Last Updated: The accused were reportedly using drones to capture visuals of the iconic Kalachowki cha Mahaganpati idol's arrival, despite prohibitory orders in place, said officials. Mumbai Police have registered a case against five individuals for allegedly operating drones without official clearance during the Mahaganpati Aagman procession in Lalbaug on Sunday. The accused were reportedly using drones to capture visuals of the iconic Kalachowki cha Mahaganpati idol's arrival, despite prohibitory orders in place, said officials. Kalachowki Police confirmed the seizure of three drones from the area near Rejoice Hotel, where they were being flown in violation of restrictions imposed for the high-security event. 'The five accused claimed they were recording the event, but drone activity was strictly prohibited. A case has been registered and further investigation is underway," a Mumbai Police official said. Mahaganpati Aagman The Mahaganpati Aagman procession is among the most prominent religious events in Mumbai's Lalbaug-Parel region, drawing large crowds each year. This year's procession witnessed thousands of devotees thronging the streets to welcome the idol with traditional dhol-tasha beats, conch shells, and chants of 'Ganpati Bappa Morya." Participants, including men, women, and children in traditional attire, took part with enthusiasm. The idol — representing Lord Ganesh in the form of Lord Shiva — was mounted on a flower-decked vehicle illuminated with vibrant lights, drawing admiration for its intricate craftsmanship. While most attendees used mobile phones to capture the celebrations, some individuals deployed drones in violation of security protocols. Authorities had previously declared a temporary ban on drone operations across key locations during the festive period, citing safety and crowd management concerns. As Mumbai prepares for Ganesh Chaturthi, similar security advisories have been issued across the city. The movement of large idols from workshops in Parel to pandals has begun, signalling the onset of the city's most celebrated religious and cultural festival. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

UP: Man convicted for 1976 theft after he confesses to crime in court
Jhansi (UP), Aug 5 (PTI) Nearly 50 years after a theft at a cooperative society here, the last surviving accused, now a frail 68-year-old man, has been found guilty — not through a lengthy trial but after his confession in court. The case, which dates back to March 1976, stretched on for over 49 years with countless hearings, bureaucratic delays and the deaths of two co-accused during the trial. But it was only last Saturday that Kanhaiya Lal, standing in the dock of the chief judicial magistrate's court here, admitted to his role in the crime. According to prosecution officer Akhilesh Kumar Maurya, the case was filed on March 31, 1976, by Bihari Lal Gautam, then secretary of the Large Scale Cooperative Society (LSS) in Tahrauli. The complainant alleged that on March 27, 1976, Kanhaiya Lal, then a Class IV employee, stole an official receipt book and a wristwatch worth Rs 150 from the office. Lal forged signatures in the receipt book and misappropriated over Rs 14,000 from society members. Two other men, Laxmi Prasad and Raghunath, were accused of issuing forged receipts in their own names and embezzling funds, Maurya said. He said all three were arrested shortly after but were later granted bail. What followed was an extraordinary judicial delay that stretched nearly five decades. Over the years, the slow wheels of justice saw hearings postponed, files changing hands, and the death of Laxmi Prasad and Raghunath. The case, State vs Kanhaiya Lal, finally saw formal charges framed against the primary accused on December 23, 2022. On Saturday, during one of the routine hearings, Lal, now a resident of Sharmafem Road, Hazira in Gwalior, confessed to the crime before Chief Judicial Magistrate Munna Lal, Maurya said. 'Kanhaiya Lal told the court he wished to confess due to his deteriorating health and old age," the lawyer said. He said the court accepted Lal's plea and sentenced him under Indian Penal Code sections 380 (theft), 409 (criminal breach of trust by public servant), 467 (forgery of valuable securities, wills, and other specified documents), 468 (forgery for cheating), 457 (house breaking), and 120B (criminal conspiracy). Since Lal already spent two separate terms of three months each in jail during the trial period, the court considered it as sufficient custodial punishment. In addition, he was fined Rs 300 under each section and Rs 500 under one. In case of failure to pay the fine, he will have to undergo an additional three days of imprisonment, according to the prosecutor.
