Nagpur: A shocking incident of domestic violence has come to light in the Hudkeshwar area of Nagpur. A man allegedly murdered his wife over suspicions of her having an extramarital affair. In an attempt to mislead the police, the accused claimed the death was accidental. However, following an investigation, the Hudkeshwar police have arrested the husband and filed charges of murder, sparking widespread concern in the local community.

The deceased woman has been identified as Rakhi Patil (27), and the accused husband as Suraj Patil (34). The couple, along with their two children, aged 5 and 3, had recently moved into a rented apartment in Tuljai Nagar just two days before the tragic incident.

According to sources, Rakhi had reportedly disappeared from home a few days ago, which led Suraj to suspect her of being involved in an extramarital relationship. Upon her return, tensions between the couple escalated. On Thursday, the arguments intensified, culminating in Suraj allegedly striking Rakhi on the head with a heavy object in a fit of rage, resulting in her death.

After committing the crime, Suraj took Rakhi to a nearby hospital, claiming she had fallen from the third floor of their building. However, bloodstains found at the scene of the crime raised suspicions among the police. Upon further investigation, it was revealed that Rakhi’s death was not caused by a fall but by severe head injuries inflicted intentionally.

As soon as the police received information about the incident, they dispatched a team to the hospital and the crime scene. Initial findings confirmed foul play, leading to Suraj’s arrest. Following the murder, Suraj attempted to flee with his children, but police apprehended him within hours. He is currently in custody, and further investigations are underway.

The Hudkeshwar police have registered a case of murder and are continuing with the legal proceedings. This incident has left the local community in shock, highlighting the tragic consequences of unresolved domestic disputes.

Nagpur: All 11 individuals accused in the pickpocketing spree during a welcome rally for Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis have been released on bail after courts ruled the investigations inconclusive. The accused, reportedly part of a gang from Ahilyanagar, were arrested following complaints of thefts including wallets, mobile phones, and gold chains during the high-profile event.

The accused were detained based on investigations conducted by Rana Pratap Nagar, Sonegaon, and Bajaj Nagar police stations. Despite extensive efforts, including the analysis of CCTV footage, no stolen valuables were recovered, leading the courts to deem the investigation a “dead-end.”

Advocate Munish R. Perke, representing the accused, stated, “The prosecution failed to present conclusive evidence linking my clients to the alleged crimes. The lack of recovery further weakens the case against them.”

The incident, which had sparked public outrage, saw over 30 victims filing complaints about thefts during the rally. While the police had formed multiple teams and arrested the suspects, the lack of substantial evidence has left the case unresolved.

The release of the accused raises questions about the efficacy of the investigation and highlights the need for improved measures to handle such cases in the future.

Nagpur: The Second Capital of Maharashtra is set to address its growing population and increasing demand for policing infrastructure by opening a new police station in the Bhandewadi area. Nagpur currently has 33 police stations, excluding the Cyber Police Station. Plans are underway to inaugurate the new Bhandewadi Police Station within the next two months, with a formal order already issued by the Police Commissionerate.

Police Commissioner Dr. Ravindra Kumar Singal has appointed Suresh Mattami as the Senior Inspector of the upcoming Bhandewadi Police Station. This will be the city’s 34th police station, or 35th if the Cyber Police Station is included. Notably, East Nagpur MLA Krishna Khopde has been instrumental in advocating for the establishment of this new station in Bhandewadi and Garoba Maidan, a persistent effort that has finally borne fruit.

Proposal submitted four years ago

According to sources, MLA Khopde had proposed the creation of the Bhandewadi Police Station to the State Government as early as 2020. His continuous follow-ups ensured that the Home Ministry approved the proposal in October 2024. Following this, Police Commissioner Dr. Singal promptly appointed Suresh Mattami, who previously served as the Second Inspector at the Pardi Police Station. Mattami also has experience as an Inspector in Deolapar, Kelwad, and Yashodhara Nagar.

Temporary setup in rented premises

Initially, the Bhandewadi Police Station will operate from rented premises. Three potential sites have been shortlisted, with one to be finalized soon. The new station is expected to start functioning within two months. The workforce will include a Senior Inspector, a Second Inspector, five ASI-level Sub-Inspectors, and approximately 100 personnel, though adjustments to manpower may be made based on requirements.

Coverage area and impact

The jurisdiction of the Bhandewadi Police Station will span around 9 km and include three beats: Bidgaon, Bhandewadi, and the Swaminarayan Temple area. This new addition is anticipated to significantly ease the workload of officials at the Wathoda and Pardi police stations.

Future plans for modern infrastructure

The area under the Bhandewadi Police Station includes several plots owned by the Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) and the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC). The Police Commissionerate has identified three potential plots, and one will be finalized after thorough documentation checks. Once finalized, a state-of-the-art police station building will be constructed at the site.

New building for Wathoda Police Station

According to sources, construction work for the new building for Wathoda police station has commenced while land has been confirmed for setting up the new building of the Beltarodi police station. Currently Wathoda and Beltarodi police stations are functioning from rented premises.

The new building of the Wathoda police station will be located just opposite the current police station. “All the plans for the police station have been sanctioned. The police station will have all the high-tech equipment and facilities, including lock-ups for male and female accused. The new police station building was sanctioned some time ago, but the work started recently. This will be a one-of-a-kind police station in the entire city. Even the beautification work has been planned,” said sources.

This development marks a major step forward in enhancing the city’s policing capacity and ensuring better law enforcement coverage in East Nagpur.

Nagpur: A shocking revelation has come to light in Maharashtra’s second capital, Nagpur, where a gigolo racket has been unearthed. This racket, involving male escorts, reportedly spans across multiple cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, and other states. A major newspaper has been running an investigative series on the illegal operation, exposing startling details.

The racket is allegedly being run by a man identified as (IK), who resides in the Gaddigodam area, in collaboration with three prominent women from the city, identified as (KK), (SK), and (KB). These women, all reportedly from respected backgrounds, are said to play a key role in operating this network.

Elite Women Involved in Organizing Male Escorts
Reports suggest that the women organized events such as kitty parties and private gatherings in upscale hotels, where gigolos were invited. In one incident, a woman (KK) regularly invited a gigolo to Nagpur after meeting him at one such party. She allegedly drugged her husband to spend nights with the gigolo at luxury hotels. However, her activities were exposed when her husband became suspicious and discovered her at a hotel with the gigolo. Though no official police complaint was filed, the incident sparked widespread discussion in the city.

How the Racket Was Exposed
The racket first came to light when the wife of a prominent businessman from Nagpur who is into coal buisness, who regularly attended kitty parties and social events, was found to be involved. At a gathering organized by her friends at a luxury hotel on Wardha Road, gigolos were reportedly hired through an escort service. After the party, the woman exchanged numbers with a gigolo from Delhi and later arranged for him to visit Nagpur, offering him ₹1 lakh for his services, including travel expenses.

The woman frequently invited the gigolo to Nagpur, paying large sums for his visits. However, the arrangement unraveled when her husband discovered her activities. The incident not only exposed her involvement but also brought the larger gigolo racket into the spotlight.

Police Inaction Raises Questions
Despite the racket being exposed, local police have reportedly refrained from taking action. In one instance, a gigolo caught with a businessman’s wife at a luxury hotel admitted to being part of an escort service. However, fearing public embarrassment, the businessman withdrew his complaint, allowing the matter to be hushed up.

This lack of police action has raised eyebrows, with many questioning why law enforcement is turning a blind eye to such a serious issue.

Where Are the Three Women Now?
The women, (KK), who allegedly played key roles in organizing gigolos for other wealthy women in the city, is now reportedly missing. Sources suggest She may have fled Nagpur following the racket’s exposure. There are speculations that She is currently in Delhi, avoiding scrutiny as the investigation unfolds.

Public Concern Grows
The revelations of this high-profile gigolo racket have left Nagpur’s residents shocked. Many are questioning the moral and legal implications of such activities, as well as the apparent reluctance of authorities to act decisively against those involved. The case has sparked a larger debate about the misuse of power and privilege and the societal impact of such illegal operations.

Nagpur: A 49-year-old police constable attached to Wadi Police Station in Nagpur was found hanging at his quarters in Gittikhadan on Friday afternoon. The deceased, identified as Hemraj Dyaneshwar Jichkar, allegedly took the extreme step due to financial distress, police sources revealed.

Tragic discovery by children

Jichkar, a 2007-batch constable, was on weekly leave when the incident occurred. His wife was attending a wedding, while his two sons — Manthan (12) and Navin (10) — were at school.

When the children returned home around 3 pm, repeated knocks on the door went unanswered. Growing suspicious, they peeped through a side window, only to witness the horrific sight of their father hanging from the ceiling with a dupatta. The boys’ screams alerted neighbours, who forced open the door and brought Jichkar down, but it was too late.

A team from Gittikhadan Police Station rushed to the spot, conducted a panchnama, and sent the body for post-mortem. Jichkar’s father had also served in the police force, and he was currently serving as a Beat Marshal at Wadi Police Station.

Authorities are investigating the financial issues that may have pushed him to end his life.

Disturbing trend of suicides in Police Force

Jichkar’s death marks the third suicide case among Nagpur police personnel in recent weeks:

• An Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) consumed poison outside an EVM strongroom.

• Earlier, an SRPF constable on sentry duty at the Nagpur Rural SP’s residence had attempted suicide.

Nagpur’s Alarming Rise of Illegal Liquor Parties: Who is Protecting Them?

Nagpur: A city once known for its cultural heritage and peaceful environment is now witnessing an alarming rise in illegal liquor parties and unauthorized nightclubs. The recent surge of such events raises serious concerns about the role of local authorities, law enforcement, and event ticketing platforms in enabling this underground nightlife.

Illegal Parties on the Rise: Who is Responsible?

The growing trend of illegal liquor parties in Nagpur has reached a critical point, with several unauthorized events being promoted and sold through platforms like BookMyShow without any verification of legal permissions. Recently, the TSS Cocktail Event, scheduled to take place in a garden, was abruptly abandoned after it was revealed that organizers had neither a liquor license nor police permission. Despite lacking necessary clearances, tickets were being sold openly on BookMyShow and social media influencers were actively promoting the event.

This incident is not an isolated one. The emergence of  a NEW Night Club, which is being advertised as “Central India’s Biggest Night Club,” raises further concerns. Upon inquiry, it was found that the so-called club does not have a permanent liquor license. Despite this, tickets for its events are already available on BookMyShow. When questioned, the owners claimed they were applying for a one-day license. This raises a crucial question: How can a nightclub operate under a one-day liquor license? Is this not a blatant misuse of legal loopholes?

Regulatory Lapses: Are Authorities Turning a Blind Eye?

The issue does not stop at unauthorized liquor sales. The location of  Night Club on Amravati Road, a National Highway, also poses serious safety concerns.

  • Who is ensuring that underage individuals are not consuming alcohol?
  • What measures are in place to prevent intoxicated individuals from driving on the highway?
  • Are proper security arrangements in place to ensure women’s safety at these events?

Shockingly, nearly 70% to 80% of clubs in Nagpur reportedly operate without permanent liquor licenses, exploiting the loophole of obtaining one-day licenses repeatedly. This raises the question of whether the Excise Department is truly monitoring these licenses or simply allowing illegal operations to flourish unchecked.

The Role of Ticketing Platforms: Lack of Accountability

Online ticketing platforms like BookMyShow are also complicit in this issue. These platforms allow event organizers to sell tickets without verifying whether the event has obtained necessary permissions. When such events get canceled or relocated due to legal issues, attendees are left feeling cheated. Shouldn’t these platforms take responsibility and verify permissions before listing events?

The Questions Authorities Must Answer

We reached out to the concerned authorities regarding these unauthorized parties and nightclubs and posed the following questions:

  1. Has the Nagpur Police granted permission for these nightclubs and events?
  2. Has the Excise Department issued a proper liquor license for these venues?
  3. What safety measures have been put in place, particularly for women attending these events?
  4. What checks are in place to prevent serving alcohol to minors and individuals without valid liquor permits?
  5. What steps are being taken to prevent contraband substances like MD, marijuana, and hookah from being circulated in these clubs?

Call to Action: City Administration Must Step Up

It is high time the Nagpur City Administration, Excise Department, and Law Enforcement Agencies took strict action against these misleading advertisements and unauthorized events. The Cyber Crime Division must also take proactive measures against social media influencers who promote liquor-based events in violation of advertising laws.

The citizens of Nagpur deserve transparency and accountability. If authorities fail to act, these illegal operations will continue unchecked, compromising the city’s safety and integrity. The time to act is NOW!
