Nagpur: Thane crime branch is on the raiding spree not only in city but all over Maharashta. The sleuths have been targetting the errant petrol pumps delivering manipulated fuel quantity to the consumers. In its latest raid, the cops have cracked down on yet another petrol pump for using tampered chip at its dispensing machine in order to provide less quantity of fuel.

The petrol pump named SS Petroleum located in Friends Colony is owned by RS Wankhede. These pumps are reportedly using tampered chips in their dispensing machines to fluctuate the fuel quantity being provided to the consumers. After it exposed similar malpractice at a petrol pump owned by BJP leader Navneet Singh Tuli, Thane police went on to raid as many as 65 petrol pumps across state, for fuel theft using these tampered chips.

In its statewide crack down, Thane police has been conducting surprise checks on the petrol pumps. Interestingly, most of the petrol pumps being raided were found to be using faulty means to cheat on the consumers. Sources suspect that when such chips can be tampered then there may be wide possibility that many petrol pumps may be using this.

Nagpur: Picture this. A woman and a man got to friend each other on matrimonial site, and the friendship develops into close relationship. But it all turned out to be an act of love, sex and dhokha. The man in question is Amardeep Meshram, a 28-year-old environment engineer, who sexually exploited a woman (25) at his rented house in Ujjwal Nagar for over a year, and also forced her to terminate her pregnancy with pills. The woman claimed Meshram had first spiked her water with some drugs to click her lewd pictures, which he later used to blackmail her. Meshram, hails from Mul in Chandrapur district.

The offence of rape was registered at Sonegaon police station on Monday. Cops arrested the accused on Sunday night and produced him before the court on Monday. The woman, who stays at her relative’s place, told cops Meshram had proposed to marry her and demanded the first meeting to help build their relationship.

Cops said Meshram, employed in a private company, was staying alone though his younger brother resided in Kannamwar Nagar in Sonegaon. The survivor, an unemployed woman, first interacted with him last year on a social site in the first half of 2016. When he realized she was interested in him, he trapped her by spiking her water with medicines and taking her photographs.

“We have conducted the survivor’s medical examination but the reports will not be considered valid since she parted ways with him in May and approached cops a bit late. Meshram has changed his mobile device a few months back. So, we would have to search his place,” said PSI DG Sawant. The team would also verify social networking sites to check whether Meshram had uploaded any of her images, added Sawant.

The investigating officers extracted the image of culprit from Facebook which was later identified by an eyewitness. The robber, along with his accomplice, had played cricket on the road for four days to study Kumbhare’s movements.

Pachpaoli police team on Wednesday arrested Akash Indurkar (20) and Rahul Nimje (29) for their alleged involvement in decamping with 900 gm gold, 11kg silver and cash Rs two lakhs after thrashing Kumbhare with a cricket bat with which they had been playing during conducting the recce. The two, having faces covered, had also fled away from the place on Kumbhare’s scooter. Police have already recovered the entire gold and silver ornaments stolen apart from the scooter but not the cash from the two.

Zonal DCP Rahul Maknikar, who has announced a reward of Rs15,000 for the Pachpaoli police team, said the collaboration of human intelligence and polices’ network led to the detection. “The latest outcome of Pachpaoli polices’ investigating resulting in the detection of the robbery is an example how working with the masses paves way for success,” he said.

Maknikar was flanked by ACP Balchand Munde and Senior PI Narendra Hiware of Pachpaoli police station. “We had engaged teams from different police stations to detect the case. More than 30 offenders on records having similar modus operandi were quizzed before getting proper clues,” he said.

PI Hiware said the two, Indurkar and Nimje, were produced before the court on Thursday which remanded them to custody till July 10. “Indurkar has an earlier offence of 324 IPC for assault registered at Yashodhara nagar police station. Nimje had none,” he said.

“Indurkar is a painter-turned-robber while Nimje used to work for private catering services before getting involved in the crime,” he said. Hiware’s team comprising head constable Sanjay Wankhede, Sariputra Fulzele, Shailesh Choudhari and others led by Sub-inspector PP Ingle cracked the case.

Police had got the first clue on the following day of the crime when the robbers had abandoned Kumbhare’s scooter at Surya Nagar. Kalamna police had recovered the abandoned scooter after an alert citizen had informed the control room after spotting the two-wheeler. Pachpaoli police, after being alerted by their Kalamna counterparts, undertook a sweeping search at the place where the scooter was abandoned. A green-coloured bag and a scarf were found in the bushes in the vicinity of the place where the two-wheeler was found. The silver, robbed from the bullion trader, was found in the green coloured cloth bag.

Police said the gold was recovered from the residence of Indurkar who was planning to dispose off the valuables gradually as and when someone would be available to sell them.
