Vaishnavi Hagawane dowry death case co-accused Nilesh Chavan nabbed close to India-Nepal border, to be brought back to Pune
Pune: A Pimpri Chinchwad police crime branch team on Friday nabbed Nilesh Chavan, a business associate of Shashank Hagawane and co-accused in the Vaishnavi Hagawane dowry death case, from Maharajganj district in Uttar Pradesh close to the India-Nepal border. "Nilesh Chavan was trying to run away to Nepal, but police arrested him before he could cross over. The police did the right kind of intelligence gathering and laid a correct trap to nab him. No guilty person will be spared in this matter. A very stringent punishment will be given in such cases," CM Devendra Fadnavis told reporters in the city later in the evening. A police officer said Chavan had crossed the border in the last few days with the help of his local contacts to stay in a lodge at Bhairahawa in Nepal. He was also using a SIM card from Nepal, the officer said. Senior crime branch inspector Arvind Pawar and his team took Chavan into custody from Sonnauli village in Maharajganj. "Chavan will be brought back to Pimpri Chinchwad late in the night. He will be produced before court on Saturday," deputy commissioner of police (Crime) Sandip Doiphode said. Vaishnavi's parents had to struggle to secure her nine-month-old son's custody on May 22, after a series of dramatic events that included allegations of a threat to her family members at gunpoint by Chavan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Lodha Élanor: 3 bed & 3 w/study from ₹2.18 Cr+ LODHA® ÉLANOR Book Now Undo Vaishnavi's maternal family, the Kaspates, learnt that her son was in custody of her arrested husband's friend, Chavan, and that they had gone to the latter's house in Karvenagar to seek his custody. The family alleged that Chavan threatened them at gunpoint and forced them to leave the place. A case was registered against Chavan with the Warje Malwadi police. The Bavdhan police also included Chavan's name in the dowry case, and added sections of the JJ Act against him. Chavan was on the run since then. Six teams of the Pimpri Chinchwad police were tracing Chavan. The police had issued a lookout circular against Chavan and a court issued a standing warrant against him. DCP Doiphode said after the cases were registered against him, Chavan had fled Pune to Raigad district, Mumbai, then to Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh) and Bhairahawa in Nepal. "We nabbed him when he came to Sonauli village in Maharajganj district of Uttar Pradesh," he said. "The crime branch teams led by senior inspector Pawar and assistant police inspector Harish Mane were constantly tracing Chavan. Assistant police inspectors of the cyber police were helping them by tracking Chavan's whereabouts," Doiphode added. An officer from the Pimpri Chinchwad crime branch told TOI that after fleeing Pune, Chavan used to travel by road and constantly change vehicles. "He even travelled by buses. We were tracking him with the help of CCTV footage. We traced the drivers of these vehicles, who helped us with leads about Chavan," the officer said. "By using his contacts in Nepal, Chavan had managed to get a SIM card there. This made it difficult for us to trace his cellphone and track him. Our cyber police team finally traced him to Maharajganj on Friday, leading to his arrest," he said.

Property transactions up 5% in Nashik in FY25
NASHIK : The city recorded a 5% increase in property transactions during the financial year 2024-25, with 48,400 properties sold, valued at Rs 14,481 crore. This is compared to 45,900 properties sold in the previous fiscal (2023-24) totalling Rs 13,406 crore, the office of the joint district registrar stated. The stamp duty on property transactions is 5% across the state, while a 1% local body cess is charged on property transactions within the jurisdiction of the civic limits. "The simplified unified development control and promotion regulations ( UDCPR ), introduced by state govt in Dec 2019, also helped in boosting the real estate sector in Nashik," Nilesh Chavan, an architect and project management consultant, said. Moreover, people recognised the necessity of homes and invested in buying residential properties after the Covid-19 pandemic. "Those who owned two BHK flats shifted to 3 BHKs, and those with 3 BHKs shifted to bigger ones. This trend was seen after the Covid pandemic," Chavan said. Chavan said that the ready reckoner (RR) rates of the properties were stable for the two years. "Hence, some people bought properties during the last financial year 2024-25, anticipating an increase in the RR rates in the next financial year. Besides, there was an adequate supply of ready flats across the city, and people preferred buying ready flats. At present, around 30,000 flats in about 1,000 residential projects are ready in the city," Chavan said. Krunal Patil, immediate past president of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association (Credai) Nashik, said there was demand in the realty sector that also led to a rise in property transactions in the city areas. The demand was for flats ranging from 2 BHK to 4 BHK, he added.
