Overview
- Police in Nashik named AIMIM corporator Matin (Mateen) Patel a co-accused for allegedly sheltering Nida Khan after she was arrested on Thursday, May 7.
- Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar’s civic body issued property notices on Saturday, May 9, giving Patel three days to show permits and warning that demolition could follow.
- Patel has petitioned a local court for a stay on any demolition and a 15‑day window to respond, with a hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
- Following Sunday remarks that branded AIMIM a terrorist group and compared Asaduddin Owaisi to Osama bin Laden, party leader Waris Pathan demanded Nitesh Rane’s removal from the cabinet.
- The city mayor said disqualification of Patel’s corporatorship would follow only after document checks, as police continue probes tied to multiple FIRs alleging sexual harassment and attempted forced conversion at a TCS-linked office in Nashik.
