Livestock trader killed in Narkhed

A livestock trader was brutally murdered by four persons and the body was dumped in the well to destroy the crime evidence in the Narkhed police station area.
Shubham Baburao Jadhav (25), Vaibhav Satish Jadhav (25), both residents of Khedikaryat; Hemraj Gajanan Babulkar (40) and Umesh Kishanji Rewatkar (30), both residents of Tinkheda, were arrested by Narkhed police for killing Babarao Suryabhan Paripagar (55), a resident of Khamli village in Narkhed tehsil.
According to police, Paripagar was a livestock trader and used to visit villages for the trading. On May 13, he came to Khedikaryat village where he met Shubham Jadhav. Their deal was derailed over an amount.
Jadhav then called his accomplices and they hatched a conspiracy to kill Paripagar. “They wanted to get hold of the money of Paripagar,” said PI Jaipal Girase.
The accused attacked the man with a rod and boulders and killed him. Later, they dumped the body in the well and went away with Rs 55,000/- cash. The incident came to the fore on Tuesday when the villagers noticed fielthy smell. After noticing the body lying in the well, Narkhed police were informed.
Missing complaint was already registered in this regard at the police station, said PI Girase. As relatives of Paripagar were suspicious about Shubham Jadhav’s involvement, the police took him into custody. During interrogation, he spilled the beans and revealed names of other accused. Accused Vaibhav Jadhav and Hemraj Babulkar have history of a murder.
The accused have been booked under Sections 302, 404, 201 and 34 of Indian Penal Code. Further investigation is on.

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

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
