Orry Grilled for 7 Hours in ₹252-Crore Drugs Case; May Be Summoned Again for “Non-Cooperation”: Sources A social media personality seen at a recent public appearance, amid ongoing investigations linked to the ₹252-crore drug case. (Undercover Editor News Agency) Undercover Editor News AgencyEditor – Mahesh Rathod Mumbai’s Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) continued its investigation into the ₹252-crore drug trafficking case on Wednesday, questioning social media personality Orhan Awatramani, widely known as Orry, for over seven hours. According to officials, the influencer was summoned after his name surfaced during the ongoing probe. Sources told UENA that Orry remained “largely uncooperative” during the interrogation and avoided giving clear answers. Investigators said he denied any role in drug consumption or knowledge of drug use at the high-profile parties he frequently attends. Orry’s Statement: “I Attend Many Events, I Can’t Recall Who Was There” During questioning, Orry reportedly told officers that he attends “several events in India and abroad” and does not remember who was present or what occurred at each gathering. He is said to have insisted that he is invited to parties only for photographs with celebrities, which he later shares on social media. Investigators also asked him about his alleged links to key accused Alishah Parkar. Orry is said to have denied knowing him and claimed he has no connection to any drug supply chain. However, officials familiar with the case say they are not fully satisfied with his explanations. Officials May Call Orry Again With gaps in his statements and what officers describe as “vague responses”, authorities have indicated that Orry could be called again for another round of questioning. A senior officer told UENA that several key inconsistencies remain unresolved. This is not Orry’s first brush with controversy. Earlier this year, he was among several individuals named in an FIR by Katra Police, after guests at a local hotel were allegedly found consuming alcohol in violation of rules at the Mata Vaishno Devi pilgrimage zone. Police had stated that alcohol and non-vegetarian food were strictly prohibited in the area. Siddhant Kapoor Also Questioned The ANC also questioned actor Siddhant Kapoor, brother of Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor, for nearly five hours in connection with the same case. Officials claim he too was “not cooperating” with investigators. Sources say Siddhant appeared with a new mobile phone, and when asked about it, he told officers his previous device had broken a few days earlier. Investigation Widens The ₹252-crore case has already led to multiple arrests and continues to widen as the ANC examines suspected links between drug suppliers, high-profile consumers, and event circuits across Mumbai. Officials say more individuals from the entertainment and influencer ecosystem may be summoned in the coming days. As the probe deepens, both Orry and Siddhant could face further questioning based on digital evidence, financial trails, and witness statements currently being analysed by investigators.  
26/11 Mumbai Attack: How Indian AI Startups Are Reshaping Counter-Terrorism for the Future

26/11 Mumbai Attack: How Indian AI Startups Are Reshaping Counter-Terrorism for the Future

November 26, 2025
26/11 Mumbai Attack: How Indian AI Startups Are Reshaping Counter-Terrorism for the Future Seventeen years after the attack, India’s tech ecosystem emerges as a new frontline in the war against terror Undercover Editor News AgencyEditor-in-Chief: Mahesh Rathod Seventeen years ago, on 26 November 2008, Mumbai witnessed one of the most horrifying nights in India’s history. The coordinated terror assault left deep scars, but it also transformed the nation’s approach to security and preparedness. Today, as the country remembers the victims, a new chapter is unfolding—India’s rapidly growing AI startup ecosystem is emerging as a crucial ally in modern counter-terrorism. These companies are building advanced systems designed to predict, detect, and neutralise threats long before they take shape. While traditional intelligence networks remain central to national security, AI-driven platforms now enhance them with real-time surveillance analytics, predictive modelling, cyber intelligence, counter-UAV technologies, and automated threat detection. Many of these systems are trained using declassified datasets from past attacks, including 26/11, making them sharper and more adaptive to evolving terror patterns. Below is a deep dive into India’s leading AI innovators working toward a safer future. Indian AI Startups Strengthening National Security 1. Staqu Technologies (Delhi) Staqu’s ‘Jarvis’ platform is a breakthrough in video analytics. Using artificial intelligence, it studies CCTV footage to detect suspicious activity—ranging from abnormal crowd movement to potential siege-like scenarios. With deployments across 500+ public locations, Jarvis is becoming a crucial tool in predictive policing. Staqu was also selected for the Government of India’s AI Accelerator Programme in Paris this year. 2. EyeROV (Kochi) EyeROV specialises in autonomous underwater drones capable of operating up to 300 metres deep. Equipped with sonar, cameras, and robotic arms, these drones help the Indian Navy conduct underwater inspections, secure coastal areas, and detect infiltration attempts — the same route used by the attackers in 26/11. 3. ideaForge (Mumbai) Born out of IIT Bombay, ideaForge is now India’s leading UAV (drone) manufacturer. Their ML-powered drones autonomously scan coastal and border regions to identify infiltration patterns. Their technology plays a key role in Maharashtra’s integrated drone surveillance policy. 4. Armory (Gurugram) Armory is focused on building AI-powered counter-drone systems. Their indigenous C-UAS (Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System), powered by the AI-driven Samaritan OS, can detect, track, and neutralise rogue drones—now a major component of global terror operations. 5. Vehere (Delhi) Vehere offers AI-enabled SIGINT (Signals Intelligence) and cyber-intelligence tools for Indian security agencies. Its counter-terror intelligence system monitors digital communication networks in real time, identifying suspicious coordination, encrypted chatter spikes, and cyber footprints linked to extremist activities. 6. CloudSEK (Bengaluru) CloudSEK’s XVigil platform monitors threat activity across social media, the dark web, forums, and open-source networks. By analysing chatter from an attacker’s perspective, it helps security forces detect early signs of radicalisation, event planning, or coordinated digital operations. AI: The New Nerve System of Urban Security India’s major metros are now connected through AI-enhanced surveillance networks analysing: These systems generate real-time threat scores, helping authorities act before a threat escalates into tragedy. However, experts caution that AI cannot replace human intelligence. Human vigilance, rapid reporting, and on-ground response continue to be essential for national security—especially in densely populated urban centres. A City That Turned Its Pain into Preparedness Seventeen years after the devastating attack, Mumbai stands not just as a symbol of resilience but as a blueprint for modern counter-terrorism. The city’s tragedy accelerated India’s technological evolution—one that now uses AI to secure millions of lives. AI may not be perfect, but when combined with human intelligence and strong governance, it becomes one of the most powerful defence shields of our time.
How India’s Anti-Corruption Law Punishes the Victims It Claims to Protect

How India’s Anti-Corruption Law Punishes the Victims It Claims to Protect

November 25, 2025
How India’s Anti-Corruption Law Punishes the Victims It Claims to Protect — A Ground Reality Check on Coerced Bribery and the Failures of Section 8 Undercover Editor News- Editor – Mahesh Rathod.Mumbai | November 25, 2025 India’s 2018 amendment to the Prevention of Corruption Act (PCA) was promoted as a major reform to empower citizens and tighten the fight against graft. But one key provision — Section 8, which supposedly offers immunity to a person who pays a bribe under compulsion — has today become one of the most misunderstood, misapplied, and practically useless protections in Indian law. As per this provision, a bribe giver is protected from prosecution only if they prove the payment was made under coercion and they report the incident to law-enforcement within seven days. On paper, the idea seems progressive. In reality, it sets up victims for failure, leaving them more vulnerable than before. An Unequal Fight: Victim vs. Official The law assumes an equal partnership between the one who takes a bribe and the one forced to give it. But anyone who has ever dealt with corruption in India knows the truth: To treat these two parties as equally culpable is to pretend the system is fair. It is not. A citizen who pays under threat is not a collaborator — they are a victim. Calling this “equal participation” is like blaming a robbery victim for handing over their wallet. The Seven-Day Window: A Legal Trap, Not Protection Perhaps the harshest flaw in Section 8 is its rigid seven-day reporting rule. The law expects a citizen who has just been threatened or extorted to: … all within a week. For millions of Indians, especially in rural and semi-urban areas, this is impossible. Even in cities, fear of retaliation stops victims from speaking out. Officials involved in corruption often have strong networks and influence. Reporting them may risk: Instead of providing protection, the law pushes victims to self-incriminate within an unrealistically short deadline. Most cases simply go unreported. What Counts as “Compulsion”? The Law Doesn’t Know Either Section 8 uses the word “compulsion”, but never explains what it means. Is compulsion only: Or does it include: Since the law provides no clarity, victims fear coming forward without solid proof. If their complaint is rejected, they themselves can be prosecuted for bribery. The law leaves victims guessing — and silent. Zero Protection for Whistleblowers For a bribe giver who reports extortion: Their identity becomes known to the same officials they accuse. Many get blacklisted, denied services, or targeted with further demands. In practice, immunity exists only on paper — not in the lives of real victims. How Other Countries Handle Coerced Bribery Globally, anti-corruption frameworks rarely criminalise coerced payers. India stands out by offering immunity with conditions so strict that almost no victim can meet them. A Flawed Framework That Needs Urgent Reform For Section 8 to truly support victims, India must: 🔹 1. Extend the reporting window to at least 30 days Recognising the fear, logistical delay, and emotional distress victims face. 🔹 2. Define “compulsion” broadly and clearly Including all forms of undue pressure — threats, delays, withholding services, and administrative manipulation. 🔹 3. Build safe, confidential reporting systems Anonymous channels, protected digital complaints, and independent anti-corruption units. 🔹 4. Implement real witness protection So citizens can report without fear of retaliation. Without these reforms, Section 8 is not a shield — it is a legal trap. Punishing the Powerless While the Powerful Walk Free India cannot fight corruption by criminalising the victims trapped inside it. Treating the bribe giver and bribe taker as equally guilty ignores the power imbalance at the heart of corruption. It forces citizens into an impossible race against time, turning them from complainants into accused if they miss the seven-day deadline. The law ends up strengthening the grip of corruption instead of dismantling it. Until India rethinks this flawed provision, the anti-corruption system will continue to do what it has always done — punish the powerless, protect the powerful, and silence those who need help the most.

Mumbai Set for Massive Underground Tunnel Revolution; CM Fadnavis Announces ‘Pathal Lok’ Vision to Transform City Traffic by 2032

Mumbai Set for Massive Underground Tunnel Revolution; CM Fadnavis Announces ‘Pathal Lok’ Vision to Transform City Traffic by 2032

November 24, 2025
Mumbai Set for Massive Underground Tunnel Revolution; CM Fadnavis Announces ‘Pathal Lok’ Vision to Transform City Traffic by 2032 Undercover Editor – Editor- Mahesh Rathod. Mumbai is preparing for one of its most ambitious infrastructure overhauls in recent history — a sprawling underground tunnel network aimed at eliminating the city’s crippling traffic congestion. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday announced that the government is creating a “Pathal Lok” — a comprehensive, underground mobility grid — that will change the way Mumbai moves in the next decade. Addressing thousands of youth at an event held at the Dome Arena in Worli, Fadnavis said the vision is to ensure that Mumbai’s average traffic speed reaches 80 kmph within the next seven years, a dramatic jump from the current 15–20 kmph gridlock experienced during peak hours. Western Express Highway: The Core of Mumbai’s Traffic Burden The Chief Minister highlighted that nearly 60% of Mumbai’s total road traffic burden falls solely on the Western Express Highway (WEH). “Unless the Western Express Highway is decongested, traffic in Mumbai cannot be fully resolved,” Fadnavis said, underscoring the need for alternative high-speed travel corridors. New Tunnels to Connect Bandra Sea Link, BKC and the Mumbai Airport A major highlight of the government’s “Pathal Lok” blueprint includes a tunnel originating from the Bandra Sea Link, offering two critical high-speed connections: These tunnels intend to divert the traffic load away from core arterial roads, reduce surface congestion and cut airport travel time drastically. “Our aim is to decongest BKC and ensure that citizens reach the airport in the minimum possible time,” Fadnavis added. Target Year 2032: “All Projects Will Be Delivered” When asked by attendees whether these infrastructural dreams will materialize, Fadnavis offered a clear assurance: “All the promises we have made, and all the projects we have started to decongest Mumbai, will be completed by 2032.” This includes tunnel networks, road realignments, decongestion projects, and mobility reforms. Local Trains to Become Metro-Like With Close-Door Coaches Fadnavis also announced a major shift in Mumbai’s suburban railway system: All local trains will gradually adopt close-door rakes, currently used only in select AC locals. “Train services will be like the metro — safer, faster, and more efficient — and without any hike in ticket fares,” he promised. This is expected to reduce accidents, improve punctuality, and modernize the century-old suburban rail experience. BJP to Prioritize Youth in Upcoming Civic Elections Speaking on political participation, the CM emphasized that the BJP will introduce new, young candidates in the upcoming municipal elections. “I can’t comment on other parties, but for the BJP, people will certainly witness new and young faces getting party tickets,” he said, encouraging youth to step forward and participate in governance. “Zero Corruption Under Modi Government” — Fadnavis Responding to a question on corruption, Fadnavis strongly defended the Central Government. “In the last 11 years, not a single charge of corruption has been levelled against Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” he stated. He contrasted this with pre-2014 governments that faced multiple corruption allegations and instability. “Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi ji, people are witnessing a stable and corruption-free government.” A Transformative Vision for Mumbai’s Next Decade With underground tunnels, metro-style trains, and new mobility corridors, the government claims that Mumbai will enter a new era of fast, reliable transportation. However, experts and citizens alike will be watching closely to see how efficiently these promises are executed over the next seven years. For now, the vision of “Pathal Lok” — a city beneath the city — has captured the imagination of a traffic-weary Mumbai.

“You Have Votes, I Have Funds”: Ajit Pawar’s Remark Sparks Major Political Storm in Maharashtra

“You Have Votes, I Have Funds”: Ajit Pawar’s Remark Sparks Major Political Storm in Maharashtra

November 22, 2025
“You Have Votes, I Have Funds”: Ajit Pawar’s Remark Sparks Major Political Storm in Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar addresses a campaign rally in Malegaon, where his remark linking public funds to electoral support sparked sharp political reactions. UnderCover Editor NewsEditor – Mahesh Rathod Mumbai / Malegaon: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has triggered a fresh controversy after openly telling voters in Malegaon that while “they have votes,” he “has funds,” and that financial support would flow only if all candidates of his faction of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) were elected. The remarks, made during a campaign speech for the upcoming Malegaon Nagar Panchayat elections, have drawn widespread criticism and raised questions about political pressure, voter influence and ethical conduct during elections. Ajit Pawar’s Statement Raises Eyebrows Addressing a public gathering, Pawar said: “I will ensure there is no shortage of funds if you elect all 18 NCP candidates. If you reject, I will also reject. You have votes, I have funds.” The statement implied that government funding and development work could be withheld if voters did not support NCP candidates—a claim opposition parties say violates democratic principles and amounts to intimidation. Pawar currently handles Maharashtra’s finance portfolio in the BJP–NCP–Shiv Sena alliance government, giving his comments even greater political weight. Opposition Slams Pawar: ‘Threat to Democracy’ The statement immediately drew sharp reactions from the opposition. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Ambadas Danve accused Pawar of threatening voters and misusing his authority. Danve said: “Funds come from taxpayers, not from Ajit Pawar’s personal pocket. If a minister threatens voters like this, what is the Election Commission doing?” Opposition leaders claim Pawar’s comments amount to coercion and violate the Model Code of Conduct, even though civic elections are not directly governed by the same framework as state or national polls. Political Context: Malegaon Civic Polls on December 2 The Pawar-led NCP has partnered with a BJP-backed panel for the December 2 Malegaon Nagar Panchayat elections. Malegaon—known for closely contested political battles—has 18 NCP candidates in the fray. Pawar’s comments were aimed at consolidating votes for the entire panel, but critics say the tone crossed the line into political pressure. ECI’s Silence Questioned Several opposition voices have demanded that the Election Commission of India (ECI) take note of Pawar’s remarks, calling for investigation or censure. Legal experts suggest that any attempt to link government funds with electoral outcomes could fall under undue influence, a punishable offence under the Representation of the People Act, 1951. What Happens Next? While Ajit Pawar has not clarified or withdrawn his remarks, political observers believe the issue may escalate further in the coming days. With civic elections just days away, the controversy has added a new dimension to the campaign—putting the spotlight on the ethics of political speech and the fine line between promises and pressure. UnderCover Editor News will continue tracking this high-voltage political episode.
🔥 Mumbai: Major Fire Erupts in Dharavi; Train Services Between Mahim & Bandra Halted

🔥 Mumbai: Major Fire Erupts in Dharavi; Train Services Between Mahim & Bandra Halted

November 22, 2025
🔥 Mumbai: Major Fire Erupts in Dharavi; Train Services Between Mahim & Bandra Halted Fire brigade teams battle a Level-II blaze at Navrang Compound, Dharavi, as smoke forces Western Railway to halt train movement between Mahim and Bandra. UnderCover Editor News | Editor – Mahesh Rathod Mumbai witnessed yet another infrastructural emergency on Saturday afternoon when a Level-II fire broke out at the Navrang Compound near Mahim Fatak, close to the Sion–Mahim Link Road in Dharavi. The incident triggered a massive response from fire officials and caused significant disruption to Western Railway operations. Fire Started in Hutment Structure; Cause Unknown According to the Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB), the first call was received at 12:29 pm. The blaze originated inside a ground-plus-one hutment located near the railway phatak and Noor Restaurant at 60-Feet Road. Within minutes, smoke engulfed the area, prompting the dispatch of engines from Dadar, BKC, Bandra, and Shivaji Park fire stations. Police teams, 108 ambulance services, and ward-level staff also reached the spot as precautionary deployment. At 1:18 pm, the fire was officially escalated to Level-II, indicating a more serious and resource-intensive firefighting operation. Officials confirmed that no injuries have been reported so far, but the cause of the fire is still under investigation. Train Services Thrown Out of Gear The fire’s close proximity to tracks forced Western Railway to halt multiple train services between Mahim and Bandra, leading to cascading delays across the suburban network. A Western Railway spokesperson confirmed: “Five trains have been regulated and are currently waiting between Mahim and Bandra stations. No injuries have been reported.” Harbour Line services towards CSMT were also suspended from 12:43 pm, intensifying travel disruptions during the busy afternoon period. Road Traffic Also Affected Road movement along 60-Feet Road slowed down as fire engines, rescue vans, and police barricades occupied the stretch. Local residents and shopkeepers gathered outside as thick smoke hovered above the hutments. Fire brigade officials said the priority is to completely douse the flames and prevent them from spreading to nearby structures, especially given the congestion of the area. Authorities Monitoring Situation As firefighting operations continue, senior officials from the fire brigade and Western Railway remain on site to assess further risks and coordinate emergency measures. More updates are expected as the situation develops.

Charkop Firing Case: CCTV Captures Shocking Moment Realtor Freddy D’Lima Was Shot; Mastermind Arrested, Hunt for Shooters Intensifies CCTV grab showing the attacker approaching realtor Freddy D’Lima moments before firing two close-range shots in Charkop, Kandivali West. By: UnderCover Editor News | Editor – Mahesh Rathod Mumbai: The investigation into the chilling broad-daylight shooting of Kandivali-based real-estate agent Freddy D’Lima has gained major momentum after CCTV footage surfaced, clearly capturing the exact moments leading up to the attack. The Charkop Police have arrested 34-year-old Munna Mayuddin Shaikh, believed to be the mastermind who coordinated the hit, while three armed assailants remain on the run. CCTV Footage Reveals the Attack Second-by-Second The CCTV clip, now the most crucial piece of evidence in the case, shows Freddy D’Lima stepping out of a gate with a friend and walking toward a parked car. Within seconds, a man—identified as one of the shooters—moves swiftly toward Freddy and fires two shots from extremely close range. The attacker immediately bolted, while his two accomplices waited on a motorcycle a short distance away. Police said the trio had been circling the area for several minutes, tracking Freddy’s movements and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Investigators are now using CCTV footage from surrounding lanes to trace the killers’ escape route in Charkop and Kandivali West. How the Attack Unfolded The firing took place around 2 pm on Wednesday, near Father Susai School in Charkop Sector 3. Freddy, 42, had just stepped out of a friend’s shop and was heading toward his car when the triple-seat motorcycle approached. The shooter, wearing a helmet to hide his identity, fired twice before the bike accelerated away at high speed. Local residents immediately rushed Freddy to Oscar Hospital, where doctors performed emergency surgery and removed both bullets. As of now, he remains unconscious and under intensive care. Mastermind Arrested – Motive Still a Mystery Police say the arrested accused, Munna Shaikh, is the key conspirator who coordinated the operation. However, officers admit the motive remains unclear. The three shooters have not yet been identified. “Shaikh’s interrogation will help us trace the attackers and determine why Freddy D’Lima was targeted,” an investigating officer said. Senior officials, including DCP Zone XI Sandeep Jadhav, visited the crime scene and reviewed the investigation progress The weapon used—suspected to be a country-made revolver—has not yet been recovered. Full-Scale Manhunt Launched Multiple police teams are verifying: Authorities say they are confident the attackers will be traced soon. The case continues to unfold, and UnderCover Editor News will bring every major update.

Mumbai | UnderCover Editor NewsEditor – Mahesh Rathod In a major breakthrough in the ₹252-crore drug manufacturing and trafficking case, the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) of Mumbai Police has summoned popular social media influencer Orry (Orhan Awatramani) for questioning. The summons follows explosive disclosures by arrested drug supplier Mohammed Salim Sohail Shaikh, alias Lavish, who has emerged as a crucial link in the multi-state narcotics network. ‘Lavish’ deported from Dubai; alleges participation of Bollywood celebrities Shaikh, recently deported from Dubai for his suspected involvement in the massive mephedrone seizure in Sangli in March 2024, reportedly told investigators that he organised high-profile rave parties in India and overseas, claiming that several Bollywood celebrities attended these events. According to police, Shaikh had been staying in Dubai for the past three years and was allegedly coordinating raw material procurement, supply chains, and financial movements for drug manufacturing units across Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Rajasthan. ₹252-crore mephedrone racket under probe Officials believe Shaikh was connected to the illegal drug production units dismantled in the Sangli raid. The seized mephedrone, financial trails, and associated transactions are valued at nearly ₹252 crore, making it one of the largest busts in Maharashtra in recent years. The ANC is now widening the investigation, scrutinising digital evidence, money trails, and communication networks linked to the accused. Orry summoned for routine questioning, say police Authorities stress that the summons to Orry does not imply guilt, but is part of the ongoing process to question individuals named during interrogation. Orry will be required to clarify his connection, if any, with the accused or the activities mentioned by Shaikh. More high-profile names likely to come under ANC scrutiny Sources suggest that as investigators analyse electronic devices, chats, travel histories, and financial data, more notable personalities could be questioned. Officials say that additional summons may be issued as the probe progresses.
