MBVV police arrests 7 robbers, including Lawrence Bishnoi gang member
MUMBAI: Seven, including a henchman of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang were arrested on Tuesday after the police heard they were on their way to rob a jewellery shop in Mira Road. The anti-extortion squad of the Mira-Bhayandar-Vasai-Virar police seized two country-made pistols and eight live cartridges, ropes, and eight mobile phones from the vehicles used by the accused. MBVV police arrests 7 robbers, including Lawrence Bishnoi gang member The Lawrence Bishnoi gang named after Bishnoi is known for allegedly having hundreds of shooters across the world. In recent years, the gang had surfaced in cases threatening Salman Khan, and even in connection with the 2022 murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala. While Bishnoi himself has been imprisoned since 2014 and faces multiple criminal charges including extortion and murder, he denies all charges. With Bishnoi allegedly communicating illegally with his associates, the gang continues to operate. According to the police, they had received a tip off that the Bishnoi gang was going to commit an armed robbery in Penkarpada, Mira Road East. They then blocked off nearby roads, laid a trap for the accused, and found two suspicious cars parked along the highway. When the police asked the people in the vehicles to get out, a high speed chase ensued, where the front window of the car broke. The police arrested the seven from their Thar jeep and SUV. One of the accused was identified to be Rohit Vankar, 23, alias Rohit Parmar, a suspected member of the Bishnoi gang, with several serious cases against him in Gujarat. The other accused were Pratik Bhoir, 26, Neeraj Wekhande, 26, Sameer Palavi, 29, Bhavesh Gawale, 24, Amar Shirke, 30, and Vijay Warghade, 30. All of them have 12 cases registered against them in various police stations in Mumbai, Thane and Palghar districts. 'The men were armed but we were prepared to face them. Parmar, who is a member of the Bishnoi gang is being questioned about his ties with the gang and whether the loot was on the behest of Bishnoi,' said a police officer from the anti-extortion cell.

Fake ED officers rob trader of Rs 70 lakh, gold
1 2 Vijayawada: In a shocking case of impersonation and organised robbery, four individuals — two of them dressed in police uniform — allegedly posed as Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials and fled with Rs 70 lakh in cash and some quantity of raw gold from a jeweller near Medikonduru on Sunday. The incident came to light after the trader lodged a formal complaint with the local police. According to Medikonduru circle inspector Nagul Meera, the complainant, Mani Jagadeesh, is a resident of Guntupalli in Ibrahimpatnam mandal. He is a recent entrepreneur, who opened a gold and silver testing shop named Sri Swami Samartha Gold & Silver Testing Centre in Vijayawada last month. Prior to this, Jagadeesh worked at a similar shop in Rajamahendravaram, where he came in contact with a person named Ranjith Maruthi Peta. Around 15 days ago, Ranjith contacted Jagadeesh and informed him about the availability of raw gold at Rs 5,000 per gram. Acting on the offer, Jagadeesh purchased five grams of raw gold through an unidentified person, paying Rs 25,000. Satisfied with the initial transaction, Jagadeesh later decided to procure two kilograms of raw gold at Rs 58 lakh per kilogram. For this larger deal, Jagadeesh, along with his friend Praveen from Kakinada, travelled to Rajamahendravaram. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Jolie-Pitt Family Shows Support For Shiloh's Change Drivepedia Undo There, they agreed to pay Rs 70 lakh initially and finalise the remaining payment later.

Kharar realtor Ranjeet Singh Gill seeks anticipatory bail after Punjab VB raids, alleges political vendetta
Chandigarh: Apprehending arrest by Punjab Police, Kharar-based realtor Ranjeet Singh Gill approached the Punjab and Haryana high court on Wednesday to seek anticipatory bail. After hearing his plea, a single bench headed by Justice Aaradhana Sawhney referred the matter to the chief justice for directions after the Punjab govt informed the court that the matter is connected with an already pending petition filed by former minister Bikramjit Singh Majithia. A separate bench is hearing all cases that are related to the former and sitting MPs and MLAs. In his petition, Gill claimed that he was falsely and maliciously targeted by the vigilance bureau (VB), Punjab, solely on account of his political affiliation. Immediately after formally joining the Bharatiya Janata Party on Aug 1, Gill said, he became the subject of a politically motivated action by the state machinery. It was contended that acting under the influence of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the VB procured search warrants in an arbitrary and clandestine manner, without issuing any summons, notice, or requisition as mandated under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Paperela Undo The court was informed that multiple raids were conducted on Aug 2 at four of the petitioner's properties, including his residence, yet no incriminating material was found. However, now the notices under Section 179 of BNSS (corresponding Section 160 CrPC) have been issued, whereby he was summoned as a witness. "The petitioner is neither named in any FIR nor linked to the case by way of any disclosure or evidence, and the jurisdictional authority of the Vigilance Bureau does not extend to him as he is not a public servant. The entire sequence of events demonstrates a clear abuse of process, malafide intent, and political vendetta aimed at coercing and humiliating the petitioner for exercising his constitutional right to political association under Article 19(1)(c) of the Constitution of India," his counsel submitted. On Aug 1, Gill joined BJP in a hurriedly called meeting with Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini at his residence. On Saturday, the bureau raided his residences.
