Mumbai: A first information report (FIR) would be registered on a complaint regarding the sale of 16 shops belonging to a Worli housing society without the collector's nod and payment of transfer charges, the state recently told the Bombay high court. On Dec 13, a bench of Justices Revati Mohite-Dere and Shivkumar Dige heard a petition by Rajendra Desai, an advocate and resident of Worli Sagar Cooperative Housing Society on Pochkhanawala Road, which is the address of many politicians. His petition said 23,000 sq m of land was allotted for housing MPs and MLAs to Worli Sagar CHS. Six buildings were constructed. His petition referred to 16 shops in Bhima and Vaitarna buildings that were owned by Enkay Technologies Pvt Ltd. They were allegedly purchased over five years ago by Prowess Financial Services Pvt Ltd owned by the society's then chairman Satish Chaturvedi. Desai's petition said that after he learnt about the purchase, he wrote to the society's secretary, but was not given information about the transaction. In Aug 2023, he wrote to the joint commissioner of police (crime) and senior inspector (SI) at Worli police station. Two months later, he met the local deputy commissioner of police to no avail. In Aug 2024, Desai finally moved HC. His petition said the transaction was done without following rules and a notification which govern the sale and purchase of commercial properties on state-owned lands leased by the collector. Residential premises and shops cannot be sold and transferred without the collector's permission and payment of transfer charges. Also, "a cognisable offence is made out for grabbing public property and cheating the exchequer of lakhs of rupees", the petition claimed. On Nov 14, after hearing advocates Kuldeep Patil and Akshay Pawar for Desai, the judges directed the SI to remain present. On Dec 13, the prosecutor, on taking instructions from the SI, said an FIR will be "registered latest by tomorrow (Dec 14)". The judges accepted the statement, disposed of the petition and directed Worli police "to conduct the investigation impartially...and take the same to its logical end".

Then Wednesday's targeted fatal shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO on a midtown Manhattan sidewalk thrust the executive and his business into the national spotlight. Thompson, who was 50, had worked at the giant UnitedHealth Group Inc for 20 years and run the insurance arm since 2021 after running its Medicare and retirement business. As CEO, Thompson led a firm that provides health coverage to more than 49 million Americans — more than the population of Spain. United is the largest provider of Medicare Advantage plans, the privately run versions of the U.S. government’s Medicare program for people age 65 and older. The company also sells individual insurance and administers health-insurance coverage for thousands of employers and state-and federally funded Medicaid programs. The business run by Thompson brought in $281 billion in revenue last year, making it the largest subsidiary of the Minnetonka, Minnesota-based UnitedHealth Group. His $10.2 million annual pay package, including salary, bonus and stock options awards, made him one of the company's highest-paid executives. The University of Iowa graduate began his career as a certified public accountant at PwC and had little name recognition beyond the health care industry. Even to investors who own its stock, the parent company's face belonged to CEO Andrew Witty, a knighted British triathlete who has testified before Congress. When Thompson did occasionally draw attention, it was because of his role in shaping the way Americans get health care. At an investor meeting last year, he outlined his company's shift to “value-based care,” paying doctors and other caregivers to keep patients healthy rather than focusing on treating them once sick. “Health care should be easier for people,” Thompson said at the time. “We are cognizant of the challenges. But navigating a future through value-based care unlocks a situation where the ... family doesn’t have to make the decisions on their own.” Thompson also drew attention in 2021 when the insurer, like its competitors, was widely criticized for a plan to start denying payment for what it deemed non-critical visits to hospital emergency rooms. “Patients are not medical experts and should not be expected to self-diagnose during what they believe is a medical emergency,” the chief executive of the American Hospital Association wrote in an open letter addressed to Thompson. “Threatening patients with a financial penalty for making the wrong decision could have a chilling effect on seeking emergency care.” United Healthcare responded by delaying rollout of the change. Thompson, who lived in a Minneapolis suburb and was the married father of two sons in high school, was set to speak at an investor meeting in a midtown New York hotel. He was on his own and about to enter the building when he was shot in the back by a masked assailant who fled on foot before pedaling an e-bike into Central Park a few blocks away, the New York Police Department said. Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said investigators were looking at Thompson's social media accounts and interviewing employees and family members. “Didn’t seem like he had any issues at all,” Kenny said. "He did not have a security detail.” AP reporters Michael R. Sisak and Steve Karnowski contributed to this report. Murphy reported from Indianapolis. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Danny Wolf had 20 points and 14 rebounds, Vlad Goldin scored 18 points and Michigan beat No. 22 Xavier 78-53 in the Fort Myers Tip-Off on Wednesday night. Tre Donaldson added 13 for the Wolverines (6-1) who led 41-30 at halftime. Ryan Conwell led Xavier (6-1) with 19 points and Zach Freemantle added 14, but the Musketeers shot just 20 of 58 (34.5%) from the field while Michigan shot 30 of 61 (49.2%), including 50% on 3-pointers. With former Michigan basketball coach John Beilein in attendance, the Wolverines used a 19-3 run to take a 38-21 lead. Xavier committed 14 turnovers in the first half and the Wolverines had six steals. Wolf had 16 of his points in the first half and had four 3-pointers in the game. Takeaways Xavier: The Musketeers need to avoid scoring lapses. After going scoreless for 6:45 against South Carolina, Xavier had one basket during a 7:15 stretch as Michigan went on its 19-3 run. The team also scored just 23 in the second half. Michigan: Going into Big Ten play in less than a week, Michigan looks ready with a nice combination of defensive pressure (10 steals), interior play (38 points in the paint) and 3-point shooting (11 of 22). Key moment Xavier cut Michigan’s lead to 59-51 and forced a miss but the Wolverines’ Will Tschetter grabbed the offensive rebound and passed out to L.J. Cason for a 3-pointer to put the Wolverines back up double digits. The Musketeers never drew within single digits again. Key stats Xavier had 19 turnovers to just 10 for Michigan. Up next Xavier will play host to South Carolina State on Sunday. Michigan will travel to No. 15 Wisconsin to open Big Ten play on Tuesday night.The Swans stunned Pride Park into silence with less than two minutes on the clock when Zan Vipotnik sent a bullet past Jacob Widell Zetterstrom before Ronald slotted home his first of the season in the 14th minute. Cyrus Christie brought Tom Barkhuizen down inside the box and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing dispatched the resulting penalty to cut the deficit in half and, despite piling on the pressure, Derby succumbed to a second home defeat of the season. Williams told a press conference: “We started the game very well, we were good up until we scored the second goal then we lost the grip on the game and I thought Derby were the better team. “The next thing for us we have to be able to maintain that level throughout the game and we weren’t able to do that to be quite honest today. “They made it difficult, reacted very well after the second goal and didn’t go under, far from it.” Swansea leapfrogged their opponents into the top half of the table with their sixth win of the season and took three points back to south Wales following two last-minute defeats by Burnley and Leeds heading into the match. Williams added: “We’ve recently conceded late goals but they’re a very resilient group and we saw it out in the end. “We’ve dominated games a lot but probably failed to score when we’ve been that dominant and tonight we managed to score the goals when we were dominant. “We scored the goals at the right time today.” Derby had been unbeaten in their last three matches coming into this one but Paul Warne put defeat down to a poor start. He said: “We conceded two and didn’t get close enough, weren’t aggressive enough, not enough body contact and looked soft, that’s my fault. “Maybe I didn’t message it properly. Sometimes it doesn’t come down to shape and tactics but I thought that was what the difference was. “Credit Swansea for the win but after the 25 mins it looked like we would score. I really enjoyed it, that’s the truth. I had 70 minutes of a team giving everything, I don’t think we’ve had that many attempts in the Championship this season. “It’s a rude awakening, last year we would’ve won that 4-2.”JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
