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.

LA Curfew, Business Loots in Los Angeles Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said the curfew -- meant to stop vandalism and looting -- was in effect within one square mile (2.5 square kilometers) of the city's more-than-500 square mile area from 8:00 pm and 6:00 am (0300 to 1300 GMT).

World's most viral TikTok sensation Khaby lame leaves US after being detained by ICE
TikTok star Khaby Lame detained by ICE in Las Vegas: The Senegalese Italian TikTok sensation and one of the most-followed influencers globally was detained in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The 25-year-old arrived in the US on April 30 and was held at Harry Reid International Airport on Friday, according to an ICE spokesperson. Although detained, Lame was not issued a deportation order. Instead, he voluntarily left the country, an option that allows individuals to exit without a formal deportation mark on their immigration records. This could be crucial in avoiding long-term re-entry bans, which can stretch up to 10 years. Khaby Lame leaves US amid Donald Trump's escalating immigration crackdown Lame's detainment comes in the middle of US President Donald Trump's intensifying clampdown on immigration, which has triggered protests across major US cities. Recent US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Los Angeles, combined with the controversial deployment of the National Guard, have reignited debates over the administration's use of executive power. In California, tensions escalated as tear gas and flash-bangs were used on demonstrators outside federal buildings. California Governor Gavin Newsom has condemned Trump's actions, calling them 'unconstitutional' and vowing to challenge the federal government in court.

From Dunblane to Graz: Europe's deadliest school shootings
AP image A school shooting in the Austrian city of Graz has left at least 10 people dead, marking the deadlist incident of its kind in the country in recent decades. The tragedy has shocked Austria, where firearm violence in educational settings is rare. According to public broadcaster ORF, there have been four recorded incidents involving firearms at Austrian schools since 1993. None, however, resulted in more than one fatality — excluding the perpetrator — until now. Similar incidents on school or college campuses have occurred elsewhere in Europe over the last few decades — several of which led to policy shifts. High-profile school shootings in Europe When a shooter killed 16 children, aged between five and six, in the Scottish town of Dunblane in 1996, the UK government swiftly banned private ownership of handguns. German lawmakers raised the age limit for gun ownership and mandated random spot checks on gun owners to ensure they were storing guns according to regulations after mass shootings in the 2000s. In 2002, expelled 19-year-old student Robert Steinhäuser opened fire at a school in Erfurt, killing 12 teachers, two students, a secretary and a policewoman, before killing himself. Then seven years later in the town of Winnenden, in southern Germany, a 17-year-old shot and killed 15 students, teachers and passers-by inside and near his former school. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Зачем на ночь сжигают лавровый лист? Undo He was later killed in a shoot-out with police. In Serbia, authorities introduced spot checks at gun-owners' homes and launched an amnesty for unregistered firearms after a 13-year-old boy gunned down eight of his fellow pupils and a security guard at a primary school in the middle-class Belgrade district of Vracar in May 2023. The suspect was arrested soon after. And in December of the same year, a 24-year-old student killed 14 people at a university in Prague with a gun he legally owned. The gunman was killed at the scene, possibly by one of his own bullets. Czech lawmakers are now in the process of tightening firearms laws, according to reporting by the Associated Press. Far fewer school shootings than the US Massacres in schools or education settings remain rare in Europe compared to the United States. Though no direct comparison data on schools is available, research by the Rockefeller Institute of Government shows the US has suffered far more "public mass shootings" than countries with similar levels of economic development. Such incidents are defined by the New York-based think tank as involving "at least some victims who were targeted at random and/or for their symbolic value," excluding cases of state-sponsored violence or organised terrorism. According to their research, 109 such incidents were recorded in the US between 2000 and 2022, compared to six in France, five in Germany, three in Finland, and two in the UK, Austria, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland during the same period. "While there are a multitude of factors contributing to these attacks, studies find the higher rate of public mass shootings in America is associated, at least in part, with less restrictive firearm laws and higher rates of civilian firearm ownership relative to many other countries," criminologist Jason R. Silva wrote in a research blog for the institute last year. In the European Union, the bloc's central executive in Brussels sets minimum regulations on owning and using guns across its 27 member states, which include Austria and Germany. National governments can choose to beef up the baseline rules with tougher measures. Though rates vary across Europe, the number of guns remains substantially lower than in the US. According to the Small Arms Survey, there were an estimated 120.5 civilian firearms per 100 people in the US in 2017. That figure was 4.6 in England and Wales, and 19.6 in both France and Germany. The estimate for Austria was 30 per 100 people, while Serbia ranked highest in Europe at 39.1. Deadly knife attacks also claim children's lives in Europe Though shootings remain rare in Europe, knife attacks at schools are more common. France has seen a spate of school stabbings in recent years, including a teaching assistant who was stabbed to death by a student in northeastern France on Monday. In October 2023, a man who was under surveillance for suspected Islamist radicalisation stabbed a teacher to death at the school he previously attended in the Northern French town of Arras — according to reporting by Le Monde newspaper. And in a case which shocked France in 2020, an 18-year-old beheaded French teacher Samuel Paty outside his school near Paris. In the UK, riots took place in multiple cities across the country last year after false information spread online about a 17-year-old who stabbed three girls aged six to nine to death at a dance class in Southport. And in Germany, state prosecutors charged a 17-year-old with four counts of attempted murder after a knife attack at a high school in the city of Wuppertal in February. A knife-wielding attacker killed a seven-year-old child and injured several others at a primary school in the Croatian capital Zagreb last December, while a student and a teacher were stabbed to death at a secondary school in northern Slovakia in January of this year.
