A self-styled godman, who was arrested for harassing a man and abetting his suicide in Maharashtra's Jalna, allegedly wanted the victim to hand over his five-year-old daughter for an occult ritual, police said on Tuesday. The Jalna police arrested the accused, Ganesh Lokhande (45), on March 6 in connection with the death of Dnyaneshwar Aher (30), a resident of Walsa Wadla village in Bhokardan tehsil, inspector Kiran Bidve said. He said Aher hanged himself from a tree on March 3. The official said a probe has revealed that the accused was pressuring Aher to hand over his daughter for an occult ritual, which he planned to perform to unearth a hidden treasure. He said the police have invoked the Anti-Superstition and Black Magic Act against Lokhande.
According to the police, Aher and his wife had visited a temple in Dhamangaon, Buldhana district, where they met with Lokhande, who started harassing them.

The official said investigations revealed that Lokhande had bought an abandoned house in Dhamangaon 15 months ago and dug a 20-foot pit inside to perform a ritual. Literature on black magic and other occult practices were found on the premises, he said.&nbsp;"We discovered a pit inside the house, where Lokhande allegedly planned to perform occult rituals, which is why he was pressuring Aher to hand over his daughter for a sacrificial ritual," he said.&nbsp;The official said further investigations are underway to find out if more people were involved in the conspiracy.

Mumbai News LIVE Updates: New slum takes root on Bandra railway land as WR looks away
A slum colony that could rival the scale of clusters of shanties in Bandra East is quietly mushrooming on railway premises under the nose of Western Railway (WR).

Mumbai News LIVE Updates: City to experience clear skies, but AQI deteriorates
According to the meteorological report, heavy temperature changes have already made their presence known around the vicinity of Mumbai by burning away all remnants of cold weather. On March 11, light winds projected at 5km/h will accompany clear skies while the sun will increasingly become sharper during the day due to the humidity levels of 42&#37. Unfortunately, as the month proclaims, temperature changes are a constantly growing sore that must be dealt with. The IMD has gone ahead and predicted warm winds to appear, peaking at 34 degrees and the city's population is already familiar with the warmth as it rises grossly every week. Seeing the sun comes through the cracks of the clouds at 6:51 AM will be a blessing and it&rsquo;ll go down at 6:47 PM. It's kind of surprising to see that even in winter, Mumbai is blessed with elevated temperatures than prior weeks and will likely sustain it for the next week too.
