Woman hires contract killers for Rs 50,000 to murder husband

By
A 37-year-old woman was booked by Kelwad police for hiring contract killers to murder her husband. The police are wondering over the theory of contract killing as the woman hired the killers with a contract of Rs 50,000/- but gave just Rs 1,500/- as advance. The killers also accepted the contract with the promise of remaining amount would be paid after some time. A police official said that Devka alias Kavita Jaideep Lokhande (37), a resident of Saoner and Chandan Natthuji Diyewar (28), a resident of Saoner were arrested for killing Jaideep Sahebrao Lokhande (39), a resident of Saoner. Contract killer Sunil Malwiya (26), a resident of Chhindawara, Madhya Pradesh, is absconding after committing the crime, police said. Body of Jaideep was found with throat slit on Narsala-Kelwad road on Saturday morning. A case under Section 302 of Indian Penal Code was registered by Kelwad police. During investigation, the police questioned Devka and she told the police that her husband left the home on Friday night. Later, the police checked Call Detail Record (CDR) of Jaideep’s phone in which the police noticed that last phone call was made by Chandan to Jaideep. During interrogation, Jaideep confessed for committing the murder and revealed names of Devka and Sunil. Following the confession, Devka was arrested by the police. A police officer said that Jaideep was jobless and used to drink alcohol heavily. In a heavily drunk state, he had a habit of physically and mentally torturing his wife. Fed up of regular quarrels, Devka shared her problem with neighbourer Chandan Diyewar and asked him to find a contract killer to kill her husband. Chandan, who is working with a private company in Wadi area, met Sunil and told him about the contract. Chandan and Sunil then met Devka and accepted the contract for Rs 50,000/-. Devka paid them Rs 1,500 as advance. On Friday night, the two invited Jaidpeep for a birthday party on a dhaba where they heavily drunk. While returning to home, the duo killed Jaideep by slitting his throat with sharp-weapon. The killers met the woman after committing the murder and took Rs 500/- from her before leaving the village. Under the guidance of Superintendent of Police (SP) Rakesh Ola, DySP (Home) Sanjay Purandare, the arrest was made by Police Inspector (LCB) Anil Jittawar, API Wairagade, PSI Gaurkhede, and staff including Baba Keche, Chandrashekhar Gadekar, Vinod Kale, Amol Kuthe, Rohan, PSI Siekh and API Suresh Mattami of Kelwad police station.

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
