Conman steals a diamond-studded gold ring from a fitness instructor

A conman utilized the fallen currency scam to distract his focus and fled with his luggage stowed in his car’s back seat, according to a 39-year-old fitness coach at D.Y.Patil Sports Club living in Kopar Khairane. A diamond-studded gold ring and an expensive speaker, both valued at Rs 66,000, were found in the luggage. The incident happened on April 13 morning on the street opposite Prashant Jewellers in Sector 9, Vashi, while fitness coach Abhay Waghmare (39), was sitting in his car and waiting for a buddy, according to the FIR.
Waghmare received a call from a buddy about 11.40 a.m., while he was heading home from the sports club in Nerul, telling him to meet near Prashant Jewellers in sector 9, Vashi. Waghmare’s diamond-studded gold ring and BOSE speaker were kept in a bag on the back seat of the automobile. Waghmare arrived at the meeting location in ten minutes and was sitting in his car, talking on his phone, when a stranger banged on the driver’s side window glass and informed him that money had dropped outside his car. Waghmare observed a few Rs 10 notes fall near his car when he opened it and came out to examine.
When the visitor inquired about the amount, Waghmare questioned whether the money belonged to him. However, the stranger walked away without saying anything. Waghmare did not take the money and sat in the car, only to discover that his luggage had been taken from the back seat. Wagmare realised the stranger had deceived him by employing the dropped money method, which he remembered from one of his friends. Waghmare filed a theft complaint at the Vashi police station on April 22 due to his hectic work schedule. “It appears that the gang utilising the fallen money trick has been active again after two years,” said Ramesh Chavan, senior inspector of Vashi.
While one gang member uses a falling money trick to divert the attention of the parked car’s driver, another gang member standing on the opposite side of the car flicks the valuables placed in the car’s back seat as soon as the driver unlocks the car to exit. We’re looking for CCTV video from the neighbourhood to track down the burglar.”

MNS Demands Strict Enforcement of School Bus Policy After Seawoods Assault Case

The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has called for immediate and strict implementation of the School Bus Policy 2011 across all schools in Navi Mumbai, following the alleged sexual assault of a 4-year-old student by a school bus driver at a reputed school in Seawoods.
In a meeting with the Sub-Regional Transport Officer, an MNS delegation, led by city president Gajanan Kale and student wing leader Sandesh Dongre, accused private schools of negligence and ignoring state-mandated transport safety norms. The party cited widespread regulatory lapses that continue to endanger student safety.
According to the School Bus Policy 2011, every school must form a transport committee that includes the principal, parent representatives, traffic and police officials, education department representatives, and bus contractors. This committee is responsible for verifying essential documents like vehicle registration, fitness certificates, permits, insurance, PUCs, and ensuring safety measures such as fire extinguishers and first-aid kits in every school transport vehicle.
The MNS also demanded a strict ban on unauthorized vehicles like private autos and taxis from operating within 100 meters of school gates. They stressed that school principals must be held directly accountable for the safety of all students using school-provided transport.
“If immediate action is not taken, the MNS will launch protests in its signature style,” warned the party. In response, Transport Officer Datta Sangolkar assured the delegation that school bus inspections will commence without delay.

Bomb Threats to Mumbai-Ahmedabad Flight and Airport Spark Panic; No Explosives Found

Panic gripped authorities on Wednesday afternoon after Navi Mumbai Police received two separate bomb threats. One caller claimed that a bomb had been planted on a flight from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, while the other warned of a blast at Mumbai’s international airport scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
The calls were received between 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., prompting immediate action from security agencies. The aircraft mentioned in the threat and various areas of the airport were thoroughly searched. Fortunately, no suspicious objects or explosives were found during the checks.

Investigators have already traced the phone numbers used to make the threatening calls and are working to identify and locate the individuals responsible. While no arrests have been made yet, the police have confirmed that a detailed probe is underway.
Authorities have assured the public that all safety protocols were followed and that air travel operations were not significantly affected.
The incident highlights the growing concern over fake threats, which not only cause public panic but also strain emergency response resources. Security forces remain on high alert, and further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
