Fake Birth Certificate Scam: BMC Suspends Health Officer After Probe into 94 Illegally Issued Certificates. By UnderCover Editor News AgencyEditor: Mahesh Rathod In a major revelation, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has suspended the Health Officer and Registrar of M-East Ward (Govandi) after an internal investigation exposed the issuance of 94 fake birth certificates without proper verification or documentation. The civic action follows a detailed inquiry that uncovered serious irregularities in the M-East Ward’s birth registration system, where certificates were reportedly issued to individuals without valid medical or hospital records. The incident has raised major questions about accountability within the municipal administration. Letter Submitted to BMC Commissioner According to an official communication dated November 5, 2025, addressed to BMC Commissioner Dr. Bhushan Gagrani, it was highlighted that between 2024 and 2025, a total of 100 to 102 birth certificates were allegedly issued illegally from the M-East ward. The letter further noted that Health Officer Dr. Sanjay Funde and other civic officials were responsible for the approval of 94 such certificates, many of which were linked to individuals found to be foreign nationals living illegally. The correspondence also mentioned that in December 2024, it was discovered that several certificates had been issued for births that never took place at the hospitals named in the records. SIT and Departmental Action Recommended The Maharashtra Government had earlier formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to look into the issue of fraudulent birth and death certificates issued across different wards of Mumbai. The official communication requested that the BMC Commissioner immediately remove Dr. Funde and other responsible officers from their positions pending inquiry and to expand the scope of investigation to include all health officers under whose supervision such irregularities may have occurred. It also advised a thorough audit of all hospitals and ward-level offices involved in the issuance of birth certificates between 2024 and 2025. BMC’s Internal Action and Future Steps Following the internal probe, BMC headquarters has confirmed the suspension of Dr. Sanjay Funde, the Health Officer and Registrar of M-East Ward, along with the initiation of departmental proceedings against two assistant officials. Civic authorities have further stated that an FIR will be registered at Deonar Police Station under relevant sections for falsification of public records and misuse of government data. The civic body also assured that digital tracking and verification systems will be strengthened to prevent any such misuse of official birth records in the future. Call for Citywide Audit The BMC has been instructed to conduct a comprehensive audit of all birth and death records issued in the past two years across Mumbai. This citywide review aims to identify any additional irregularities, ensure proper record verification, and hold accountable any officials involved in malpractice or negligence. — Reported by UnderCover Editor News Agency Editor: Mahesh Rathod
📰 Mumbai Coastal Road Theft: Complainant Turns Out to Be the Main Accused By UnderCover Editor News Agency Revealing What Matters

Mumbai Coastal Road Theft: Complainant Turns Out to Be the Main Accused,

November 6, 2025
Mumbai Coastal Road Theft: Complainant Turns Out to Be the Main Accused In a surprising twist, the Worli Police have arrested a civil supervisor and two others in connection with the theft of nearly 150 kilograms of iron-concrete blocks from the ongoing Mumbai Coastal Road project. The most shocking revelation — the man who himself lodged the complaint was found to be the main accused behind the theft. According to police officials, the prime accused, Robin Kumar Vishnu Singh (27), worked as a civil supervisor for a private firm contracted by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for the prestigious Coastal Road project. Singh, who hails from Rampur village in Bihar, initially filed a complaint at Worli Police Station claiming that several construction materials were stolen from the project site.However, during the investigation, CCTV footage and witness statements revealed that Singh had orchestrated the entire theft himself. Police found that the missing iron-concrete blocks, each weighing several dozen kilograms, were loaded into a truck and sold as scrap. Two others, identified as driver Prakash Ledo Mahto (35) and scrap dealer Kumaluddin Khan (38), were also arrested for their involvement. Mahto allegedly transported the material from the site on Singh’s instructions, while Khan purchased the stolen goods. Police later recovered ₹10,000, the amount received from the sale, from Khan’s brother. A senior police officer from Worli Police Station stated, “The accused tried to act smart by posing as a complainant to divert suspicion, but detailed CCTV footage exposed his real role as the mastermind behind the theft.” The trio has been booked under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for theft, criminal breach of trust, and common intention. Investigators are now probing whether the group was involved in similar thefts at other sites of the Mumbai Coastal Road project. This case once again highlights how internal vigilance and quick investigative work by the Mumbai Police are crucial in protecting major public infrastructure projects from internal fraud and corruption.Reported by UnderCover Editor News Agency MumbaiNews #CrimeUpdate #CoastalRoad #WorliPolice #UnderCoverEditor #CityCrime #InfrastructureTheft #MumbaiCoastalRoad #UnderCoverEditorNews #RevealingWhatMatters

Demolition Drive on Government Land in Malvani, Malad West — The Truth Behind the Joint Action by Collector Office and BMC

Demolition Drive on Government Land in Malvani, Malad West — The Truth Behind the Joint Action by Collector Office and BMC

Demolition Drive on Government Land in Malvani, Malad West — The Truth Behind the Joint Action by Collector Office and BMC By UnderCover Editor News Agency News Contributor – Zaeem Rizvi. In a recent joint operation conducted on November 4, 2025, by the Collector’s Office and BMC P/North Ward, over 120–128 illegal huts constructed on government land near Ali Talao Road, Malvani, Malad West, Mumbai, were demolished. The demolition was part of an ongoing legal process to clear encroachments on government-owned land following directives from the Bombay High Court and subsequent orders from the Chief Secretary of Maharashtra. The action was not a sudden or isolated event but a continuation of a legal process that began with a Public Interest Litigation (PIL No. 54/2017) filed in the Bombay High Court against illegal encroachments on government lands across Maharashtra. On April 24, 2024, the Hon’ble High Court observed: “The office of the Collector is the custodian of the State property, which ultimately belongs to the people. It is the duty of the Collector to take appropriate steps, wherever and whenever required, to protect the same.” Following this, the Chief Secretary of Maharashtra, Mr. Nitin Kareer, on May 25, 2024, issued a directive to all district collectors to take strict and immediate action against encroachments on government land. Subsequently, the Divisional Commissioner, Mr. Radhakrishna Game, reinforced the directive, urging all district offices to act urgently in coordination with municipal bodies to remove illegal occupations. As part of this state-wide initiative, demolition drives have been carried out in multiple regions of Mumbai, including Chiko Wadi, Ambujwadi, Daruwali, and Malvani. Earlier, on May 29, 2025, a similar demolition was executed at the same site where 80–85 huts were cleared. However, after illegal reconstruction was observed, authorities conducted another demolition drive on November 4, 2025, led by Mr. Vinayak Vimal Tulsiram Padvi (Pro. Dy. Collector, Removal of Encroachments – Malad Division) along with BMC P/North officials. This action was carried out strictly in accordance with Bombay High Court and State Government orders to protect government land from illegal encroachments. Reporter’s Note News Contributor – Zaeem Rizvi “I want to make it clear that I have no political affiliation. My only goal is to bring forward the truth and stop the spread of misinformation. The demolition was carried out under legal orders issued by the High Court and the State Government, not under anyone’s personal instruction,” said Rizvi. Further documents and official letters supporting this action will be shared in the next report for public transparency. — Reported by UnderCover Editor News Agency #Malvani #DemolitionAction #MumbaiNews #UrbanDevelopment #UnderCoverEditor #RevealingWhatMatters

Work on ₹3,900-Crore Madh–Versova Bridge Set to Begin Within Two Months

November 5, 2025
Work on ₹3,900-Crore Madh–Versova Bridge Set to Begin Within Two Months — Undercover Editor News | “Truth, Courage, Clarity” — Undercover Editor News | “Truth, Courage, Clarity” Mumbai’s long-awaited Madh–Versova bridge project is finally set to take off, with construction likely to begin within the next two months. The ₹3,900-crore bridge is expected to significantly reduce travel time between Madh and Versova — cutting it down from nearly 90 minutes to just 10 minutes. Currently, commuters have to take a 21–22 km detour via Malad, which becomes heavily congested during peak hours. The new bridge will provide a direct route across the creek, offering huge relief to thousands of daily travellers. The project, led by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), had faced delays due to environmental clearance issues. While approvals have been granted by the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority and the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ), the final nod from the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests for mangrove cutting is still awaited. Once received, the BMC will approach the High Court for permission to begin groundwork. Officials estimate that the bridge will be completed within three years, including monsoon delays. However, local fishermen have raised objections, fearing disruptions to fishing routes and silt accumulation during construction. Despite these challenges, authorities remain confident that the much-anticipated Madh–Versova bridge will soon become a reality — transforming connectivity and easing traffic congestion across Mumbai’s western coastline.

Bengaluru Doctor’s Chilling Confession: “I Killed My Wife for You”

November 4, 2025
Bengaluru Doctor’s Chilling Confession: “I Killed My Wife for You” In a shocking turn of events, Bengaluru-based anesthetist Dr. Mahendra Reddy GS, accused of murdering his wife, Dr. Kruthika Reddy, reportedly sent disturbing messages to multiple women after the crime — claiming he killed his wife for them. According to investigators, Mahendra allegedly administered anesthesia to Kruthika, a 29-year-old dermatologist, on April 24, leading to her death. He was arrested on October 14 in Manipal, Udupi district. Following the incident, police discovered that Mahendra had reached out to at least four to five women, including one who had previously rejected his marriage proposal. In one message, sent through the PhonePe app after being blocked on social media, he chillingly wrote, “I killed my wife for you.” Police have seized Mahendra’s phone and laptop for forensic examination. Preliminary analysis confirmed he had been in touch with multiple women and even faked his death in 2023 to manipulate one of them. Authorities say the messages were part of Mahendra’s bizarre attempts to rekindle past relationships, while the investigation continues into the motive and timeline of the murder.

India’s Women’s World Cup Triumph Proves Equal Pay Is the Game Changer. UnderCover Editor News

November 3, 2025
India’s Women’s World Cup Triumph Proves Equal Pay Is the Game Changer. UnderCover Editor News Under the dazzling lights of Navi Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium, history was written. Harmanpreet Kaur’s final catch sealed India’s first-ever Women’s World Cup victory — a moment that wasn’t just about cricket, but about equality, perseverance, and vision. Three years ago, in 2022, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took a bold step — introducing equal pay for men and women cricketers. Critics called it impractical, arguing that women’s cricket didn’t generate equal revenue. But last night’s win proved them wrong. This triumph was more than a sporting achievement; it was the result of years of investment, belief, and policy reform. The Women’s Premier League (WPL) gave players international exposure and confidence, while pay parity gave them dignity and focus — letting them train and perform as professionals, not part-timers. As the nation celebrated, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah’s words echoed the sentiment: “The grit, resolve, and skill of our women have inspired the nation. Equal pay was just the beginning — belief made history.” India’s win isn’t just a cricket story; it’s a story of change. A reminder that equality isn’t a reward for success — it’s the foundation for it.  

Cyber Cops Warn Citizens of Fake Traffic E-Challan & SIM Hijack Frauds

November 2, 2025
Cyber Cops Warn Citizens of Fake Traffic E-Challan & SIM Hijack Frauds Mumbai: The Mumbai Cyber Crime Police have issued a strong advisory warning citizens about a new wave of online scams — from fake traffic e-challan messages on WhatsApp to SIM hijack frauds through bogus credit card offers.According to officials, cybercriminals are impersonating traffic police officers on WhatsApp, sending fake messages containing malicious links designed to trick users into downloading harmful files or revealing personal details.The advisory highlights several red flags citizens should watch for:Messages from unknown WhatsApp numbers claiming to be from traffic police.APK files with suspicious names like “Traffic Fine” or “RTO Challan”.Payment requests made through personal UPI handles.Links that don’t end with “.gov.in” or aren’t related to parivahan.gov.in.“Citizens must avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown files and should never transfer money through personal UPI handles,” the police advisory stated.In another alarming trend, cyber cops have also warned about SIM hijack frauds linked to fake credit card offers. Scammers contact victims posing as bank representatives, offering ‘lifetime free’ or ‘high-limit’ credit cards. They then collect sensitive identity details like PAN, Aadhaar, mobile number, and date of birth under the pretext of KYC verification.Once they have the information, fraudsters approach telecom providers claiming the user has lost their phone and initiate a SIM swap. With control over the victim’s mobile number, they gain access to bank OTPs, UPI verifications, and online transactions, swiftly draining funds from the victim’s account through mule accounts or digital wallets.Officials added that victims are often pressured into sharing data immediately or asked to verify details via fake bank websites or forms.The cyber police urge citizens to remain cautious and recognize early warning signs such as:Credit card offers received without any formal application.Requests for KYC verification via WhatsApp or phone calls.Sudden mobile network loss despite an active plan.Unauthorized OTPs or transactions from bank accounts.Public Advisory:If you receive such suspicious messages, do not respond or click any links. Report them immediately to the National Cyber Crime Portal (www.cybercrime.gov.in) or contact the local cyber police station.Cyber officials emphasize that awareness is the best defence against such digital frauds — urging Mumbai residents to verify all messages, stay alert, and never share personal information over insecure platforms.— Reported by UnderCover Editor News Agency CyberCrime #MumbaiNews #FakeChallan #SIMSwap #CyberAlert #UnderCoverEditor

CBI Arrests Key Member in Major Cybercrime Racket Targeting Japanese Citizens.

November 1, 2025
CBI Arrests Key Member in Major Cybercrime Racket Targeting Japanese Citizens. Undercover Editor | Revealing What Matters The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a major accused linked to an international cybercrime syndicate that defrauded Japanese citizens through sophisticated “tech support scams.” The action comes under the ongoing nationwide crackdown, Operation Chakra-V, aimed at dismantling global cybercriminal networks. The arrested individual, identified as Dwibendu Moharana, was detained at Bhubaneswar airport upon his return from the UAE on October 30, 2025. According to CBI officials, Moharana had fled India in May shortly after his illegal call centre in Noida — operating under the name VoIP Connect Private Limited — was raided by the agency. Investigations revealed that Moharana and his associates posed as technical support executives from reputed multinational companies, deceiving Japanese victims into making payments for fake services. The CBI stated that the racket used advanced social engineering tactics to manipulate targets and extract money under false pretences. Earlier this year, on May 28, coordinated raids across Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh led to the arrest of six operatives and the shutdown of two fake call centres. Those previously arrested include Ashu Singh (Delhi), Kapil Ghakhar (Panipat), Rohit Maurya (Ayodhya), Shubham Jaiswal, Vivek Raj, and Adarsh Kumar (Varanasi). After being brought to Delhi on a transit warrant, Moharana was produced before a special court and remanded to CBI custody for three days. The agency has now arrested seven accused in total and filed chargesheets against all of them. The CBI confirmed that the operation was conducted in close coordination with the National Police Agency of Japan and Microsoft Corporation, significantly disrupting one of the most active cybercrime networks targeting Japanese nationals.
