This is India.
₹6.41 crore paid as salaries to 10 people who didn't even exist.
These 10 fake employees were on the Mumbai Police payroll and received money between 2019 and 2020.
10 fake employee names:
1. Ramdas Bhogle
2. Sudhakar Kadam
3. Sarju Yadav
4. Bhagwat Bhosale
5. Gunaji Khavkar
6. Mahadev Haldankar
7. Rajendra Sonar
8. Uttam Thorat
9. Suryakant Patil
10. Pandurang Kadam
This scam stayed hidden for around 6 years.
And this happened inside a police department.
Without insider involvement, it would not be possible to create, approve, and pay salaries.
The Supreme Court of India declared the right to walk safely on footpaths a fundamental right under Article 21 and Article 19(1)(d) of the Constitution.
@mybmc@MumbaiPolice Are you guys going to take any action?
A heated argument inside a Mumbai local train’s first-class compartment has gone viral after office-goers allegedly threatened college students despite them holding valid first-class tickets. The dispute reportedly began when the students were told certain seats were “reserved” for a regular group of commuters.
When the students questioned the claim, the confrontation escalated, with one commuter allegedly saying, “Come tomorrow, I'll show you what I can do.”
🚆A video circulating on social media shows a passenger performing prayers on the upper berth of an AC train coach while lighting incense sticks and an oil lamp.
A fellow passenger reportedly intervened, explaining that such acts can be dangerous. Smoke may trigger the train's fire alarm, while an open flame inside a moving train poses a serious fire risk.
The message isn't against any religion or faith. It is a reminder that public safety must come first.

Malappuram, Keralam: CCTV footage from the site of a bus accident shows the vehicle losing control, skidding for over 25 metres, and overturning after hitting a divider on a service road.
While I was reporting for @Article14live on Facial Recognition Technology used by Delhi police, I found myself on their monitor. Delhi police was caught on camera surveilling a journalist on duty. When I confronted them, this is what they had to say.
This dirty cop’s name is constable Pravin Sangle. He has been suspended courtesy this brave kid.
@AUThackeray@rubenmasc opposition should demand a time bound judicial inquiry to open the lid on this racket. Surely he is not acting independently.
Demand booking him under NDPS as well. File an RTI for records of all drug cases filed by him and the stations he has been posted at.
Pick up the thread @richapintoi@mashrujeet@fpjindia@IndianExpress@ShivAroor
Dear @CPMumbaiPolice@MumbaiPolice
This officer is blatantly threatening kids to implicate them in a false drug case.
For what? Because they were walking out to protest, as is their constitutional right?
It’s on video
There’s nothing to discuss
This is a disgrace!
He needs to be summarily fired from the force.
Mumbai Police was, in my youth, famously compared to Scotland Yard.
My grand uncle Shri M.S. Kasbekar once served as Mumbai’s Commissioner
My wife’s uncle, Shri K.P. Medhekar served as well as the Commissioner and the first DGP of Maharashtra
It is a matter of personal and family pride to have these fine decorated officers in our ancestry.
Pls weed out these officers that stain the honour and pride of this fine force.
Whatever the case may be, threatening to frame students on false narcotics charges is not acceptable. No one is above the law. We demand strict legal action against this police officer.
