A civil court in Mumbai on Friday rejected the interim plea of a 25-year-old woman seeking a DNA test on BJP's Gorakhpur MP Ravi Kishan to prove her claim that the actor-politician is her biological father. Shinova had filed a suit before a civil court here urging it to declare that she is the biological daughter of Kishan born out of his relationship with Aparna Soni. The suit, filed through advocate Ashok Sarogi and Jay Yadav, as an interim measure had also sought DNA test to prove the woman's claim that Kishan is her father. However, the court on Friday refused to grant any interim relief. It then issued summons to the respondents, seeking their response on the main suit of the woman. The matter will be next heard on July 23. The woman, in her suit, said Soni came across various people belonging to the film fraternity, including Ravi Kishan, in her capacity as a journalist. As per the plea, Soni and Kishan entered into a relationship and got married in 1991, though they could not reside together for long due to some personal problems. Shinova, in the plea, said she was born on October 19, 1998, by which time it had come to light that Kishan was already married. Considering these facts, it seems Kishan and Soni decided among themselves that their child would call the actor 'uncle', the plea said, adding that the duo took necessary care of her. However, recently when Shinova and Soni visited the BJP leader to offer best wishes for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, he misbehaved and refused to meet them, the plea alleged. Following this, they held a press conference to tell the public about the rights of Shinova in her capacity as the biological daughter of Kishan, the plea said. Nothing incriminating was mentioned in the press conference, despite which Kishan's wife Shukla filed an FIR against them, Shinova said in the plea.

26 April,2024 06:20 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentEknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde has hit out at rival Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray for disparaging remarks about his father and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, saying it reflects the ex-minister's upbringing, reported the PTI. Aaditya Thackeray is a bitter critic of CM Eknath Shinde, whose revolt in 2022 had led to the toppling of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in the state and split the original Shiv Sena, then headed by his father Uddhav Thackeray, as per the PTI. Referring to Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde, Aaditya Thackeray had recently called him a 'shameless and despicable' person. "He (Aaditya Thackeray) has been brought up with these values, one who only curses, and badmouths (opponents). We have been taught to talk good. People will teach those who have been taught to talk ill," Shrikant Shinde told reporters in Maharashtra's Kalyan on Thursday, the news agency reported on Friday. Shrikant Shinde is contesting from the Kalyan Lok Sabha constituency for the third time. "The act of muddying the atmosphere in Maharashtra, cursing and badmouthing, and doing politics by stooping so low stems out of frustration," he added. Lok Sabha elections are a fight between dictatorship and democracy: Uddhav Thackeray The Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday said the Lok Sabha elections 2024 are a fight between dictatorship and democracy, reported the PTI. Addressing a campaign rally in Parbhani city of Maharashtra for Shiv Sena (UBT) nominee and sitting MP Sanjay Jadhav, Uddhav Thackeray targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on a host of issues including dynastic politics, as per the PTI. "This election in Parbhani is not local. This is a fight between dictatorship and democracy," he said. Sanjay Jadhav is pitted against Mahadev Jankar of Rashtriya Samaj Paksha, who is the joint candidate of the Mahayuti alliance of the Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, BJP, and the Ajit Pawar-led NCP, and Panjabrao Dakh of the Prakash Ambedkar's Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) from Parbhani Lok Sabha constituency. Uddhav Thackeray alleged that ministers in the Maharashtra cabinet are disrespecting women by using foul language on television channels, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah keep mum, according to the PTI.

In Nanded, BJP MP Pratap Chikhalikar is pitted against Congress nominee Vasant Chavan. (with PTI inputs)
26 April,2024 04:20 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAs many foreigners come to India for treatment of their health treatment, there are many inspiring stories of successful surgeries and one of them has come out of Mumbai. A 72-year-old American man, weighing 193 kg, has successfully undergone a Total Knee Replacement (TKR) procedure, doctors said on Thursday. "This is the heaviest-weighed patient for the surgery of total knee replacement in the world," claimed the surgeons from the Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre in Mumbai. TKR is a life-changing procedure for individuals suffering from debilitating knee pain, restoring mobility and enhancing their quality of life. However, overweight individuals often encounter barriers in accessing this treatment due to increased surgical risks and technical complexities. "Every patient is different, and it's crucial to adapt our surgical techniques to address their specific circumstances. By customising our approach and collaborating closely with our colleagues, we were able to overcome the challenges posed by the patient's weight and achieve a successful outcome," said Dr. Rajesh Nawalkar, Senior Consultant, Orthopaedics. One of the primary challenges in TKR for overweight patients is anaesthesia risk and the heightened potential for embolism. Additionally, the use of a tourniquet -- a standard practice in TKR surgeries, poses technical difficulties due to the larger thigh circumference, increasing the risk of tissue damage and complications. To address these concerns, Dr. Nawalkar collaborated with instrument manufacturers to design specialised instruments tailored to the patient's unique anatomy, ensuring optimal surgical outcomes. Moreover, extensive preoperative evaluations and consultations were conducted to ensure patient readiness and informed consent. The patient, Richard Koszarek, underwent the surgery on January 7, 2024, with no complications reported during the procedure. However, the journey to recovery was equally crucial, with rehabilitation playing a pivotal role in achieving successful outcomes. "Most of the doctors in India and overseas did not agree to perform surgery because of my overweight," said the patient, Richard, thanking the doctors for operating on him and enabling him to be "back on his feet".

26 April,2024 03:00 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentThe Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has successfully installed a massive 25,000-ton girder connecting the southbound lane of Mumbai Coastal Road to the Bandra Worli Sea Link. The civic body issued a statement announcing the achievement. The installation of the 136-metre-long bow-string-arch-type girder at Worli began at 2 am and was completed by 3.25 am. This engineering feat is the first of its sort in India, involving installation at sea, reported PTI. According to the report, the girder, which is 18 to 21 metres wide, would connect the 10.5-kilometer section of coastal road to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. The southbound corridor of the coastal road between Worli and Marine Lines opened for traffic on March 11 of this year, but it was not connected to the sea link until now. Furthermore, another girder measuring 143 metres long and 26-29 metres broad for the coastline road's northbound sector has arrived at Nhava Sheva port. Its installation is scheduled for the end of May, following the launch of the first girder, the report added. 🌉Celebrating another milestone for the Mumbai Coastal Road Project!📢BMC's ambitious Mumbai Coastal Road Project has successfully installed the first giant Girder (bow arch string girder), seamlessly connecting the Mumbai Coastal Road with the Bandra-Worli Sea Link route in… pic.twitter.com/In5kO8bNLA — माझी Mumbai, आपली BMC (@mybmc) April 26, 2024 "Another 143-meter long, 26-29 meter wide girder of the coastal road's northbound corridor has also reached Nhava Sheva port and its launch is planned for May-end.
