Acting on tip-off, a team of Ambazari Police Staiton led by Police Inspector Santosh Gorade rushed to Advocates Society, Hill Top and stormed the first floor flat which was vacant. Four persons who were present in the flat along with the cash were taken aback. Infact, according to sources, one prominent builder, who was present on this occasion, managed to give a slip to the cops and save himself from the unpleasant consequential action.


The cops then sought justification from these persons about possessing such a large sum. However, they started giving evasive reply, evoking suspicion. After quizzing them for a while, the police officers informed their superiors and brought entire cash and four persons to police station, for further probe.

Meanwhile, the news about seizure of huge cash went viral on social media and rumour mongers had a field day to drag all sorts of celebrities including politicians residing in the vicinity as the actual owner of this cash.
After the high denomination currency was scrapped, this is the first big action by local police. Two days ago, the Enforcement Directorate had conducted raids against foreign exchange brokers and some businessmen.


All the four persons have been detained under Section 41 (1) (D) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) which empowers police to arrest or detain any individual in whose possession anything is found which may reasonably be suspected to be stolen property and who may reasonably be suspected of having committed an offence with reference to such thing.

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...
