By

Raja Ghous alias Ghous Ali 


City Police and Uttar Pradesh cops nabbed Ghous wanted for dacoity, loot and many violent crimes across Maharashtra and MP and his arrest is considered as a major success by cops

By Dheeraj Fartode

Notorious shooter and arms dealer Raja Ghous alias Ghous Ali was nabbed by joint team of Nagpur and Uttar Pradesh police before he could cross Indo-Nepal border from Gola Gokaran Nath town of Lakhimpur Kheri district on Monday night, a senior police officer of city police confirmed. Uttar Pradesh Police team fully extended logistical support to Nagpur Police and deployed their own armed personnel to nab Ghous.
Now, crime branch sleuths are searching for Satyendra Gupta, another hard-core criminal and a close accomplice of Ghous, involved in several dacoity and violent crimes. Gupta, considered more dangerous than Ghous, is also hiding somewhere in Uttar Pradesh and is wanted in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh police.
According to sources, many relatives of Ghous are living in Bardi town area. But skipping relatives, Ghous stayed with one notorious arms dealer, who apparently sheltered him for quite some time. Sources also disclosed that Ghous used to purchase sophisticated weapons from the same goon and sold them in Nagpur for huge premiums to criminals here for past three years. Ghous had planned to cross Indo-Nepal border to avoid his arrest and elude agencies. But, his over-confidence proved costly and cops caught hold of him before he could execute his plans to flee from India.
Team of crime branch of Nagpur police led by Police Inspector (PI) Avinash Shirimkar and API Vinod Choudhary along with team of Uttar Pradesh police raided the house on Monday night and found their prime-catch-Ghous. The special team was ready to face armed resistance from Ghous and his associates. He had fired at cops at Nagpur twice and had displayed his contempt towards the police force. The joint team of UP and Nagpur police dared Ghous to surrender and to their surprise, Ghous who was totally taken by surprise could not get hold of his arms and looking at the preparedness of the force chose to meekly surrender. He was immediately taken into custody. Ghous is being brought to city by road and is expected to be produced before the court on Wednesday.
Commissioner of Police K K Pathak and Joint Commissioner of Police Sanjay Saxena confirmed the arrest of Ghous and said that it is success of efforts and team work of Nagpur police with assistance of Uttar Pradesh cops. Joint Commissioner of Police Saxena further said that plans of Ghous to cross Indo-Nepal border would be revealed after proper interrogation. The arrest was supervised by Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Sunil Kolhe and PI Madhav Giri.
Ghous went into hiding and escaped to Madhya Pradesh after firing and killing a youth-Roshan Samrite at Nagpur and abusing a girl on April 17. Later he had fired at police force near Jagnade square in which head constable Prakash Wankhede sustained bullet injuries.
Chhatrapati square was the last location of Ghous, which was obtained by City police using Mobile tracking and surveillance system. City police was clueless after mobile phone was switched off by Ghous. One of Ghous’s accomplices, Moin Ansari, was nabbed by police.

Ghous most wanted in other states too

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

By
IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script also ha

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

By
CONSTRUCTION work of 700-metre-long cable-stayed bridge, longest in the country, with a viewing gallery at the top at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil is near completion. The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is
