Month: August 2026

One of the most shocking news in august was how how a 20 year old student from thane, nirmay madhav pakhare, allegedly kidnapped and assaulted a 16 year old 12th standard girl from nagpur in a rented flat in nagpur, after befriending her playing online games and on instagram
The parents of nirmay madhav pakhare are doctors, and his father is very famous and rich.
While the hindustan times carried the complete news of the incident,including the name of the thane BBA student,nirmay, times of india has not mentioned the name of the student in its coverage for the last few days.
On 6 August 2026, when the assault news was first published, both times of india and economic times had a front page advertisement each of the sugee group, promoting thane as the new commercial capital.
Allegedly the front page full page thane advertisement, may have influenced the editors of times of india not to mention the name of thane BBA student in their coverage of the incident, while hindustan times is usually mentioning all the names when high profile people are involved in illegal activities.
