Vehicle theft ring busted, 24 stolen vehicles recovered
Nagpur: In a crackdown on vehicle thefts across the city, the Crime Branch's anti-vehicle theft squad arrested two men and recovered 24 stolen vehicles worth 12.25 lakh. The action followed a swift and technical investigation that exposed a network of repeat offenders targeting parked vehicles across multiple police jurisdictions in Nagpur. The case began late on the night of July 14, when 53-year-old Shyam Kamble, a resident of Gayatri Nagar, parked his e-rickshaw near Shahu Samaj Cultural Bhavan on Great Nag Road. Kamble lost the key and left the vehicle briefly to retrieve a spare from home. In that short span, the e-rickshaw — valued at 74,000 — was stolen by unidentified thieves. Based on Kamble's complaint, Kotwali police registered an offence under Section 379 of the Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS). Officers from anti-vehicle theft squad launched a parallel investigation. Technical analysis and reliable tip-offs led them to two suspects: Nitin Lodhe (34), originally from Pandhurna in Yavatmal, currently staying in Darshan Colony, and Umesh Mohadikar (36), a resident of Kavelu Quarters in Nandanvan. Both were taken into custody and, during interrogation, confessed to stealing Kamble's e-rickshaw. Further questioning revealed a larger pattern. The duo admitted to a spree of two-wheeler thefts across Nagpur. They confessed to 15 such crimes, carried out in areas falling under the jurisdiction of police stations including Kotwali, Nandanvan, Wathoda, Ajni, Sitabuldi, Hudkeshwar, Dhantoli, and Tehsil. A total of 23 stolen two-wheelers were recovered in addition to Kamble's e-rickshaw, bringing the total seizure to 24 vehicles. The accused have been handed over to Kotwali police along with the recovered vehicles. Officers who played a key role in the operation included PI Sudhir Borkute, PSI Vivek Jingre, Deepak Rithe, Vilas Kokate, Sachin Badiye, Shambhusingh Kirar, Ajay Shukla, Pankaj Hedau, Vivek Kawadkar, Abhay Dhone, and Rahul Kusrame.

Tipped off Lko cops put paid to ingenuity of liquor smugglers
The bootleggers from Rajasthan had certainly shown ingenuity in hiding the contraband they were carrying, but the police and excise department of Uttar Pradesh were ready for them at Uttaretiya, in the outskirts of the state capital. The liquor seized in a joint operation of the excise and police department in Lucknow (Sourced) Late on Wednesday night, the team seized 7,776 tetra packs of illegal liquor worth nearly ₹18 lakh. The consignment was coming from Rajasthan and bound for dry and poll-bound Bihar, so said the two men arrested for transporting the liquor. Tipped off, the team had laid in wait and intercepted a pick-up vehicle, near Uttaretiya underpass on Kisan Path. The vehicle was properly covered in thick, black plastic, which when uncovered revealed stacked empty vegetable crates. Behind a couple of rows of these, was what the officials were hunting for. They recovered 162 boxes containing Royal Classic Whiskey manufactured in Rajasthan, totaling 1,400 litres. Police arrested two smugglers including Sonu Bagaria, 25, and Sitaram Bagaria, 19, both residents of Khudiala village in Jaipur, Rajasthan. They were using a Mahindra pick-up with a fake UP number plate (UP80HR5336), while the actual vehicle registration (RJ47GA2782) was from Rajasthan. During questioning, the accused confessed to being part of an inter-state smuggling racket for the past 7–8 months. They admitted they were paid ₹7,000 per trip by a man named Kamal Sharan from their village, who arranged the vehicle and the liquor. Once in Bihar, the consignment was to be handed over to one Lalu Ram, who remains at large. Excise inspector Ram Shyam Tripathi confirmed that smugglers had erased MRPs from packaging to sell the liquor at inflated prices in Bihar, where prohibition laws are in force and demand for alcohol fuels black market rates up to three times the original cost. This was the second such bust within four days. Deputy excise commissioner Rakesh Kumar Singh said that on July 19, the excise department had caught a truck near Kabirpur village on Sultanpur Road and recovered over 14,000 liquor bottles worth ₹30 lakh. Smugglers had hidden the liquor under construction material. Both accused in the latest case have been sent to jail, and a case has been lodged at PGI Police Station under sections of the Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita and Excise Act. Police are now trying to trace the vehicle owner, Pradhan Bagaria, and the main conspirator, Kamal Sharan. Pic cap: . Sourced.
