The Agri community, along with like-minded associations, has convened a special meeting to reinforce their demand for naming the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport after social activist D.B. Patil.

The meeting, organized by the All Party Action Committee and Akhil Agri Samaj Parishad, will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday at the Navi Mumbai Sports Association.

“This meeting aims to reiterate the long-standing demand of the local residents. D.B. Patil was a revered leader who fought for farmers’ rights, particularly during the government’s land acquisitions in the 1970s,” said an official.

The demand to name the airport after D.B. Patil has received widespread support. A resolution proposing the name D.B. Patil International Airport was previously passed and submitted to the Union government. While the Centre has approved the proposal, a formal notification is still awaited.

The meeting will focus on strategies to expedite the official announcement and ensure that the resolution is implemented without further delay.

The Agri community and supporting organizations remain firm in their stance, emphasizing that the airport should honor the legacy of a leader who championed the cause of local farmers.

Navi Mumbai Director Duped of ₹60 Lakh in WhatsApp DP Fraud

Published

on

A 52-year-old director of a Thane-based private company lost Rs60 lakh to a fraudster who impersonated another director by using his photograph as a WhatsApp display picture (DP).

According to the police, the complainant, a Navi Mumbai resident, is one of the three directors of the company. On February 5, he received a WhatsApp message from an unknown number, with the sender claiming to be another director, who was in Dubai, and stating that it was his new number.

The next day, the fraudster inquired about the company’s account balance. Believing he was communicating with his colleague—whose photo appeared as the WhatsApp DP—the complainant provided the details. The fraudster then requested an urgent transfer of Rs60 lakh, citing funding needs for a project.

Without suspecting foul play, the complainant instructed the company’s accountant to transfer the amount to the account provided by the fraudster. However, after the transaction, the real director in Dubai contacted him, inquiring about the large sum. Shocked, the complainant realized he had been duped through WhatsApp DP fraud.

The police have registered a case and are investigating the matter. Officials have warned the public to verify fund transfer requests and avoid relying solely on WhatsApp display pictures for identity confirmation.
