Dabo club Nagpur Efforts to reopen the controversial Dabo Club, which was shut down for 45 days following the murder of two young men, have triggered strong anger and fear among the families of the victims.

Posing as policemen, four tricksters duped an elderly woman of her gold ornaments worth Rs 60,000 at Ram Nagar square on Monday by dishing out a lie that robbers had murdered and looted an aged woman in the area.
According to police, 68-year-old Sukanya Hari Rao, a resident of Plot No. 53, Flat No. 8, Makarand Apartment, Hill Road, Gokulpeth, was walking towards home from a lane. Two men in civil dress approached her and said “did you know that a woman -- Laxmi -- was murdered in the area by robbers for gold ornaments. It was published in newspaper.” Apparently the lady disbelieved them, but to make their story more reliable, the men stopped a youth (probably part of their drama), who was walking behind them. They slapped him and forcibly removed his gold chain and put it in his pocket.
Sensing trouble, Sukanya started walking away from the spot. A fourth person appeared on the scene and approached Sukanya. He showed his identity card and introduced himself as a cop. He firmly asked her to remove ornaments. When Sukanya removed gold bangles and two gold rings, he “helped” her wrap it in a piece of paper and put it in her bag. The woman, after reaching home, opened the packet only to find plastic bangles in it. Shocked and appalled by the cunning act of criminals posing as fake cops, she immediately approached Ambazari police station and lodged a complaint. Ambazari police have registered the case under Sections 420, 170 and 34 of Indian Penal Code.
Don’t fall prey to fraudsters
Nagpur police on Tuesday issued an advisory and appealed citizens not to fall pray to any such fraudsters. This fake cop menace is on the rise and particularly elderly women are being targetted by the tricksters who often force the gullible victims to part with their gold ornaments and later decamp with the real jewellery. “The Nagpur police is not checking gold ornaments of any citizen, if anyone asks for it please inform concern police station or police control room on phone no 100,” said a Nagpur police.
