Nagpur rural police have busted a seven member gang hailing from Haryana and Delhi for duping a businessman of Umred town to tune of Rs 24 lakh. The accused were also on radar of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Goa police for duping number of persons to tune of crores of rupees. 

According to police, the complainant Amit Ashok Gupta (34), a resident of Itwari Peth, Umred, on April 24, 2014 received a call from call center of ICICI Prudential company. The caller first informed him about details of his policy so as to gain confidence of Amit. The caller further asked Amit to open five new policies of ICICI to nominate himself in diamond category and further said it will give him impressive returns of Rs 47 lakh. The caller started daily calling to Amit from the call center and convinced him to purchase new policies.

Amit transferred Rs 24 lakh in various banks accounts which were given by the prank caller. The caller also sent email of confirmation of received amount on Amit's email id. Amit was relaxed about the bonus of Rs 47 lakh. However his dream was shattered when the caller made demands for additional money. Now Amit got suspicious and inquiries revealed he has been duped and approached Umred police station. The police had registered the case under sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 34 of Indian Penal Code read with sub-section 66 (d) of Information Technology Act 2000. 

During investigation the phone numbers and the bank accounts number were primary information for the police to identify the accused and get their location. As the police got information about detail address of the accused, Superintendent of Police (SP) Dr Aarti Singh directed Umred police to arrest the accused. The team moved to Faridabad and arrested two accused first and later picked-up rest of them with help of local police there.

The accused are identified as Ankush Wasudev Gulati (22), a resident of Sonepat, Haryana; Jatin Sureshkumar Arora (22), a resident of Delhi, Sachin Girichandra Tripathi alias Yashvant Gandhi alias Avinash Sharma (24), a resident of Delhi; Anil Bansilal Kapoor (23), Dilipkumar Ayodhyaprasad Gupta (27), both residents of Faridabad; Umesh alias Rajendrakumar Khurana, a resident of Haryana and Nitin Omprakash Gera (24), a resident of Faridabad.

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 als...

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...
