Mhaiskar and his accomplice killed Swapnil Gosavi, 32, a resident of Hudco Colony, at 10.45pm on Monday near a food kiosk on Nara Road, under the jurisdiction of Jaripatka Police Station. According to the police, the incident began when Gosavi was riding his motorcycle past the eatery. Gosavi also had two cases against him, including one for molestation and another for assault last year.
Mhaiskar, along with his accomplices Ravi Banerjee, 27, Bhupesh Wanjari, and others, were drinking beside the road after the owner asked them to leave the eatery for creating a ruckus.
Police said the owner has installed CCTVs outside the eatery.
The confrontation was triggered after Gosavi drove his bike too close to Banerjee. An angered Banerjee stopped Gosavi and slapped him. Gosavi too attacked Banerjee. As Mhaiskar joined the brawl, Gosavi overpowered him as well as Banerjee and Wanjari. The three assailants then used stones to assault Gosavi.
In a fit of rage, Mhaiskar and others struck Gosavi on the head and body with stones, causing fatal injuries. Gosavi was rushed to Mayo Hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
The Jaripatka police have apprehended the assailants, including Mhaiskar, Banerjee, and Wanjari. Except for Banerjee, the rest of the assailants had previous case histories.

Nashik: 36-year-old man held for posing as policeman
Nashik: Indiranagar police on Monday arrested a 36-year-old man for impersonating a police officer. The accused — Pravin Gosavi, who is a resident of Swarajyanagar in Pathardi Phata — was arrested in the Pathardi Phata area while reportedly moving around in a police uniform. The arrest stemmed from a tip-off received by police constable Pavan Pardeshi, who was informed that an individual not affiliated with the police department was seen wearing a uniform in the Indiranagar area. Pardeshi promptly notified his seniors, leading to the formation of a police team. Gosavi was caught and questioned about his supposed posting, following which he reportedly provided evasive answers. The accused was then taken to the police station for further inquiry, where he confessed to not being a member of the police force. The police have registered a case against Gosavi under section 205 of the BNS (wearing the garb of a public servant with fraudulent intent). "Gosavi had dreamed of joining the police department. But he could not fulfil his dream and operates a taxi," a police officer said.

‘One Day, One Gang' drive brings crime down by 28% in West Nagpur
Nagpur: The 'One Day, One Gang' drive launched by Zone 1 DCP Lohit Matani has resulted in a sharp decline in crime rate in West Nagpur. According to official stats, the crime rate dropped 28% in Zone 1, comprising Wadi, MIDC, Hingna, Pratap Nagar, Bajaj Nagar and Sonegaon police stations, from January to June 2025 as compared to the same period last year. In a crackdown against organised crime and gangs, police have externed 120 criminals and sent another five behind bars for a year under the stringent Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities (MPDA) Act. " We have disrupted the ecosystem of organised crime in West Nagpur. We encouraged registration of offences and, wherever possible, initiated coercive actions against habitual offenders," said Matani. The drive was launched under the guidance of CP Ravinder Singal. According to police sources, the largest-ever externment operation in Nagpur led to the banishment of 15 criminal gangs and several habitual offenders from the city and rural limits for two years. "We made it compulsory for the cops to target one gang each day and check on one of its gangsters daily," Matani said. The 'One Day, One Gang' initiative includes daily foot patrols, combing operations, and rigorous checks in crime-prone areas, increasing police presence and visibility across West Nagpur. According to official data, the total number of crimes in Zone 1 dropped from 480 (from January to June) in 2024 to 348 in the corresponding period of 2025. Crimes against people and property also saw a significant decline, with attempted murder cases falling from 8 to 3, robbery from 4 to none, chain snatching from 3 to none, and rape cases dropping from 30 to 18. Similarly, motorcycle thefts reduced from 134 to 92, while total thefts declined from 199 to 154. Matani's team also invoked Section 111 of the BNS against two criminals and charged 108 others under Section 163 of the BNS to ensure public safety during festivals and events. Beyond enforcement, the police team also targeted illegal activities such as gambling, illicit liquor sales, hookah parlours, and drug trafficking. Informants were deployed to monitor externed criminals, while searches of their residences and restrictions on movement helped dismantle criminal networks further. Complementing these efforts, Matani's 'Police Uncle, Police Sister' campaign worked to build community trust by educating students on safe touch, the risks of addiction, and civic responsibilities.
