Nagpur: The arrest of notorious burglar Naresh Mahilange by a crime branch team from the city's outskirts on Saturday came with a twist. The police also took his attorney-turned-girlfriend into custody for her involvement in a spate of cases over the last couple of months.
This includes the housebreaking incident at Kotwali, where valuables worth Rs24 lakhs were stolen earlier this month. The police recovered stolen valuables worth Rs21 lakh from the burglars.
The girlfriend, who had earlier secured bail for Mahilange in 18 cases, had gone out of her way to provide logistical support to the notorious burglar. This included helping him procure a SIM card with fake documents. She also helped Mahilange to dispose of stolen valuables, and bailed out his accomplice Amrapal Patil, another notorious burglar.
The police have also nabbed Patil. Another accused, Fardeen Khan, was apprehended for purchasing the stolen valuables.
Police said Mahilange and Patil stole a bike from Koradi in April-end before abandoning it at Wathoda and moving to Beltarodi, where they stole a car. They then moved to Patansawangi on an Activa. After stealing a car from Patansawangi, they went to Kapil Nagar and broke into a house before decamping with valuables.

In June first week, Mahilange and Patil broke into the house of Jasani family at Mahal, decamping with valuables worth Rs24 lakhs. The burglars also fled with the DVR of the CCTV camera and threw it in a nullah. The crime branch team, comprising Asst PI Nitin Churpal, sub-inspector Madhukar Kokate, head constable Rajesh Deshmukh, and others under DCP, Crime, Rahul Maknikar, ACP Abhijit Patil, and Addl CP (Crime) Vasant Pardeshi, nabbed Mahilange and his gang using technical surveillance system.
Sources said Mahilange committed the burglary at the Jasani residence with his face covered, but the police identified him with the help of CCTV footage. Mahilange's gait while sneaking out of the house was identified by seasoned cops, who tracked him down with cellphone surveillance of his girlfriend, who was already on the police radar.

Makeshift bomb, farewell letter: Police raid Austrian school shooter's house — Here's what they found
Flowers and candles lie at the entrance of a school after a deadly shooting took place there, in Graz, Austria (AP) Investigators have raided the house of the 21-year-old shooter who opened fire at his former school and have found a farewell letter and a makeshift bomb in the Austrian city of Graz. The incident left 10 people dead, and the perpetrator took his own life in the school toilet. The motive behind such an act remains quite nebulous, as Austrians mourned the victims with a minute of silence planned on Wednesday morning, as reported by AP. The shooter was a former student at the BORG Dreierschützengasse high school in Austria's second-biggest city of Graz. Officials have acknowledged that the letter was found on Tuesday night, but the content of the letter did not allow them to draw definite conclusions. Austria's public security director at the interior ministry, Franz Ruf, told ORF public television that a letter was found in both digital and analog forms where he bid farewell to his parents, but 'no motive can be inferred from the farewell letter, and that is a matter for further investigations.' When asked whether the attacker chose the victims at random or targeted them specifically, Ruf said the matter is still being investigated, and they did not want to speculate. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo State broadcaster ORF, quoting local media, reported that the victims included both teachers and students. Multiple shots were fired, and the assailant had two weapons with him, a handgun and a shotgun, which apparently he owned legally. This appears to be the deadliest attack since World War II, with 11 people killed and over a dozen others injured.

Exclusive: Bangladeshi chess player deported from India; 80-year-old legend Rani Hamid 'disturbed' by events
80-year-old Bangladeshi chess legend Rani Hamid NEW DELHI: Bangladesh's renowned 80-year-old chess player Sayeda Jasimunnessa Khatun, better known as Rani Hamid, arrived in India earlier this month to participate in the 21st edition of the Delhi International Open Grandmasters Chess Tournament (June 7-14). The journey that began in high spirits took a troubling turn when her travel companion and compatriot, Ashiya Sultana, was denied entry into the country upon arrival at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Sultana, 37, was reportedly blacklisted by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) for participating in a chess tournament in Kolkata while on a medical visa during a previous visit. As a result, she was held at the Airport immigration centre overnight and denied access to her luggage. Subsequently, she was deported to Bangladesh the following day. The incident left Rani Hamid visibly shaken and emotionally distressed. 'I am very sad," Hamid told on the sidelines of the Delhi GM Open. "The person who came with me was not allowed to enter India. She was made to sit overnight at the immigration centre. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo They did not even give her access to her luggage. The next day, she was forced to buy a return ticket at double the price,' she said. 'My mind is disturbed, and I am unable to focus on the game.' As a result of the unfortunate turn of events, Hamid (rated 1800+) has had a challenging run in the tournament so far, securing one win and one draw out of six rounds, all against lower-rated opponents. Hamid, who has long refrained from travelling alone for tournaments due to her growing age, added, 'I never travel alone. I always have someone with me. She was accompanying me, and now she is gone. I have been left alone.' Poll Do you think the immigration policies regarding sports participants need to be more transparent? Yes, definitely No, they are fine as is Not sure Speaking further on the situation, the 80-year-old, who became Bangladesh's first Woman International Master (WIM) in 1985, voiced deep concern over the apparent lack of coordination between the Indian and Bangladeshi authorities. 'Her passport was clear, all documents were in order, but immigration told her she had been blacklisted for playing in a previous tournament on a medical visa," Hamid continued. "At the time, she wasn't even aware that it was a violation. If she had been informed earlier, she would never have come. The Indian authorities should have notified the Bangladesh Chess Federation.' Bombay Sport Exchange Ep. 6: Harish Thawani on cricket's TV market and the watershed moments Hamid added that she pleaded with immigration officials for leniency. 'I requested them: if you believe she violated the rules, then impose a fine, $100, $200, whatever, but let her stay and play for seven days. She is not a criminal. She hasn't committed any crime. She didn't kill, steal, or rob anyone. Her only offence is that she played chess.' Despite the emotional strain, Rani Hamid, however, acknowledged the support and hospitality provided by the organising committee of the Delhi Chess Association (DCA).

'It is very comfortable here. I can play only because of that comfort. I am very grateful to the organisers who sent tickets and invited us so warmly,' she said. DCA president Bharat Singh Chauhan described the incident as one of the many challenges that come with organising a major international event. "Visa issues are common for foreign players. In this case, the FRRO had blacklisted her. Perhaps she had previously come to India for medical treatment and ended up playing in a chess tournament, which may have led someone to file a complaint. As a result, she was denied entry. These kinds of challenges are part and parcel of hosting large-scale events," he explained.
