Three-member gang of bike lifters busted by LCB of Rural Police

By

A three-member gang of bike lifters was busted by the Local Crime Branch (LCB) of Nagpur Rural police and recovered 14 stolen motorcycles from their possession. The vehicle theft gang was using a ‘master key’ for their operation, police officials said.
The prime accused in the case is a 17-year-old boy whose father is a scrap dealer in Kalamna area of Nagpur. He was selling the motorcycles to accused Avinash alias Opan Prabhakar Ughde (24), a resident of Bramhani, Kalmeshwar and Charan Ramdas Nimawat (27), a resident of Ghorad, Kalmeshwar. According to police, the juvenile delinquent acquired ‘master keys’ from the shop of his father. He was using the keys to open the locks of parked motorycles. After taking possession of the bike, he straightway drove to Kalmeshwar where he was selling the bikes to Ughade and Nimawat. The two were purchasing the bikes at Rs 5,000/- from him.
All the stolen motorcycles were further sold in Kalmeshwar tehsil by Ughde and Nimawat in the last five months. Acting on a tip-off from informers, the LCB team nabbed the juvenile from Kalmeshwar red-handed with a stolen motorcycle. During interrogation, he confessed to committing thefts and revealed names of the ‘receivers’. Under the guidance of Superintendent of Police (SP) Rakesh Ola, Addl SP Rahul Maknikar, the arrest was made by Police Inspector (LCB) Anil Jittawar, APIs Rajiv Karmalwar, Jitendra Wairagade, PSI Narendra Gaurkhede, ASI Jaiprakash Sharma and staff including Gajendra Choudhary, Mahesh Jadhav, Durgaprasad Parde, Rajendra Rewatkar, Rama Aade, Rohan Dakhore, Mahesh Bisne, Amrut Kinge, Amol Wagh, Ajiz Dudhkanoj, Amol Kuthe and others.

Thefts for liquor and food 

The juvenile was spending the money on liquor and food, police said. A brand new motorcycle cost Rs 70,000/- in the market. The juvenile was selling it at just Rs 5,000/- and spending the money on liquor and food. He was leaving home late in the night for the ‘operation’. His parents were shocked after they learnt about the son’s involvement in the thefts.

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...
