Dabo club Nagpur Efforts to reopen the controversial Dabo Club, which was shut down for 45 days following the murder of two young men, have triggered strong anger and fear among the families of the victims. The incident took place in the early hours of December 26 last year during a Christmas party at Dabo Club. Pranav Ranavare (27) was allegedly killed after a minor dispute. His friend, Gaurav Karda (34), was badly injured in the same incident and later died during treatment. The Sonegaon police arrested six accused - Soumya Deshmukh, Mehul alias Monu Rahate, Rajiv Chawla, Abhay Jhamtani, Gappu Sharma and Tushar Nankani. All the accused are currently lodged in jail. The club is owned by Directors Devyani Vijay Wadettiwar, Karan Vikram Thakkar and Mohd Hamza Rayeen.

During the investigation, it was found...
FIVE persons, including two prison constables, were arrested by the City Police for supplying Ganja (Marijuna) to the inmates of Central Jail, on Wednesday. The prison staffers were charging Rs 5,000/- for delivery of Ganja to the inmates and using WhatsApp messenger to convey demands of the inmates to their accomplices living in the city, police officials said.
The arrested accused have been identified as Shrikant Thorat, Gopal Parate, Rahul Mendhekar, Prison constables Ajinkya Rathod and Prashant Rathod.
Commissioner of Police (CP) Amitesh Kumar told that Shrikant, Gopal and Rahul were history-sheeters. They were in the jail for around six months and developed friendship with notorious goons Nished Wasnik and Vaibhav Tandekar, who are behind the bars. Nished and Vaibhav were sentenced on the charges of murder and crypto currency fraud.
Later, Shrikant, Gopal and Rahul walked out of the jail on bail. While cooling their heels behind the bars, Nished and Ajinkya came in contact with the jail constables who used to supply them Ganja and other material, CP Kumar claimed.
“They were using a unique modus operandi in which a sim-card generated with bogus documents was used to maintain secrecy. After receiving request from Nished and Ajinkya, the constables used to write it on a paper and send the pictures to Shrikant, Gopal and Rahul on WhatsApp. A fruit-seller outside the Central Jail was receiving the packet from the three and forwarding it to the jail constables. They were secretly delivering the packets to Nished and Ajinkya in the jail,” the CP added.
According to CP Kumar, the constables charged Rs 5,000/- for delivery of Ganja, Rs 3,000/- for delivering food items and Rs 1,000/- for clothes.
Acting on a tip-off, the Crime Branch checked details of the mobile number and picked Shrikant, Gopal and Rahul. The three revealed the modus operandi behind the racket when the police professionally ‘grilled’ them. On the basis of their statement, the police arrested the jail constables.
An offence under Sections 120 (b), 420, 465, 468, 471 of Indian Penal Code read with Sections 42 and 45 of Prisoners’ Act was registered by Dhantoli police.
It may be mentioned here that in September this year, an undertrial MCOCA accused was arrested while trying to smuggle ganja and batteries of mobile phones inside the Central Jail while a mobile handset and Ganja was seized from one of the inmates of the Jail in April this year.
