Maratha quota protest: Mumbai police ask Jarange to vacate Azad Maidan

Mumbai Police on Tuesday issued a notice to activist Manoj Jarange and his team, asking them to vacate Azad Maidan at the earliest, as his hunger strike over the Maratha quota demand entered its fifth day, officials said. Though permission was granted earlier for a gathering of 5,000 protesters at Azad Maidan in south Mumbai, more than 40,000 agitators arrived from various parts of Maharashtra, the police said in the notice. The protesters blocked roads in south Mumbai over the last few days by gathering in large numbers and also parked more than 5,000 vehicles on roads connecting to the Azad Maidan and nearby areas, which led to heavy traffic congestion, they said. The protesters cooked food on roads, took bath, danced and played cricket in the public areas, violating the conditions laid down earlier for the quota agitation, the police noted. Civic personnel on Monday night washed the square outside Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), located just a few metres away from A

Mumbai Police plans to regulate visitors at Salman Khan's apartment

The Mumbai police are planning to regulate the entry and exit of visitors at Galaxy Apartments, the residence of Bollywood actor Salman Khan in Bandra, following incidents of trespassing on the premises, officials said on Friday. The actor, who has received threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, has already been provided Y-plus security cover. Earlier this week, the police arrested a man and a woman for allegedly separately trespassing at Khan's building. The official said considering threats the actor has received and trespassing incidents, the police are thinking of regulating the entry of visitors and improving the security arrangements. He said since it is a private building, checking every visitor can be a challenge. According to sources, new visitors will be required to confirm their identity from the residents of the building to gain entry. The police said on Thursday that they had apprehended one Jeetendra Singh and Isha Chabria on the charges of house trespassing in sep
