Kaushalya Nagar gang war : Shaktiman’s close aide gives tip-off about his location

By

Shivam alias Shaktiman Shuddhodhan Gurudev (19) was murderously attacked by a group of assailants to avenge the murder of Sawayam Satyaprakash Nagrale (21) on Friday night in Kaushalya Nagar. Investigation revealed that a close aide of Shaktimaan had given a tip-off about the hideout of Shaktiman in the Bhande plot to the assailants.
Ajni police have arrested six persons on the attempt to murder charges. The accused have been identified as Kaushalya Nagar residents Birju Vasanta Shinde (28), Abhijit Dilip Ghodeswar (24), Akash Krishna Manwar (30), Pritam Ambadas Kavale (24), Sunil Vaman Wankhede (39) and Suresh Gopichand Kamble (44).
After the murder of Swayam, the Ajni police had caught two minors and Nishant Ghoreswar, but Shaktiman had managed to escape. Ajni Police and Crime Branch were looking for him. The police teams had visited the house of Shaktiman's uncle in Bhande plot area. However, the family reportedly refused to have any information about him. The police had also searched the house but Shaktimaan was not found there.
A police official said that Shaktiman was in contact with some youths of Kaushalya Nagar. On Saturday at 7.30 am, Shaktiman had gone to Shitala Mata Mandir area to get a Kharra when the assailants caught him and took him to Kaushalya Nagar on motorcycle. Now, the cops are trying to trace the person who gave a tip-off about Shaktiman’s location to the assailants.
It may be mentioned that Swayam Nagarale was killed and Shaktiman left critically injured in a clash between two rival gangs allegedly over financial transactions associated with a gambling den on Saturday. An argument over the gambling den dealings in Kaushalya Nagar snowballed into a fight between the two group. A team from Ajni police station was deployed in the area to ensure the clash between the two groups does not descend further into reprisal attacks.

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

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
