With YouTube as guide, two youths printed fake currency, arrested

By

Unit No. 2 of the Crime Branch arrested two persons for allegedly printing fake Indian currency after seeing some tutorials on YouTube. The accused have managed to circulate fake currency of Rs two lakh in the market so far, a top rank police official said.
The accused have been identified as Nilesh Raju Kadbe (24), a resident of Samta Nagar and Maruf Khan alias Rafique Khan (24), a resident of Taj Nagar, Teka. According to police, Kadbe is a notorious thief and offences are registered against him at Gittikhadan and Rana Pratap Nagar police stations. Acting on a tip-off, the police raided his rented accomodation at Plot No. 11 in Ekta Nagar, Mankapur, on Saturday.
The police have seized a computer, two printers including a high-quality printer during the raid. Fake currency notes of Rs 100 denominations were also seized by the police. Some of them were half printed, the police said. The official further said that Kadbe learnt the currency printing technique after seeing tutorials on YoutTube. He then took a house on rent and also purchased the printer worth Rs 30,000/- for the same. He was circulating the currency after ordering food, liquor, electronic gadgets through on-line portals including Olx.
“He was keeping the fake notes between the genuine notes in the purse and giving it to the delivery boys,” the official said. He was printing only notes of Rs 100 and Rs 50 denominations as circulating Rs 500 notes in the market is risky. The accused were printing notes that look exactly like genuine notes. Only a knowledgeable person can tell the difference between real and fake by examining closely, the official said.  
According to information, 8 gsm paper is used for printing of currency, but the accused were using 7.5 gsm paper. An offence under Sections 489 (a), (c), (d) and 34 of Indian Penal Code was registered against the accused.
The arrest was made by Sr Police Inspector Kishore Parvate, API Sumit Parateki, PSI Sandip Kale, Laxmichhaya Tambuskar, Mohekar, Balram Jhadokar, ASI Rajesh Thakur, Mohan Shahu and staff including Santosh Madankar, Ramnaresh Yadav, Rajesh Tiwari, Anil Patil, Ravi Shahu, Satish Pandey Sunil Kunwar, Sheshrao Raut, Yogesh Gupta, Shyam Gorle, Ashish Patil, Suraj Bhongade, Kamlesh Gehlot and Pravin Jadhav.

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...
