Steal, Sell, Steal Again: Crime Branch Nabs Vehicle Thief!
Nagpur: In a meticulous operation, the crime branch on Sunday arrested 28-year-old Nilesh, also known as Abhi Kadbe, exposing a cunning vehicle theft racket with a twist. Kadbe would sell stolen vehicles at low prices, only to steal them back from the buyers. His arrest also led to the discovery of a Mauser pistol with live ammunition in his possession, adding a dangerous element to his crimes. Kadbe, a resident of Dhammajyoti Nagar, was nabbed in Kapil Nagar following a tip-off about an armed suspect. Senior inspector Sandeep Buwa, under DCP Rahul Maknikar, led the operation. During interrogation, Kadbe confessed to buying the firearm from an individual named Altaf in Betul, Madhya Pradesh, claiming it was for self-protection against potential retaliation from his deceived victims. Police revealed Kadbe's unique modus operandi. "He would steal vehicles, make duplicate keys and fake documents, sell them at low prices, and then track the buyers to steal the vehicles back," a senior officer explained. In one incident in Amravati, Kadbe sold a stolen two-wheeler, followed the buyer to a shrine, and used a duplicate key to take back the vehicle while the buyer was praying. In another instance, he pretended to be a buyer for a sports bike advertised in Amravati, took it for a test drive and escaped with the vehicle. Kadbe confessed to seven vehicle thefts in Nagpur and Amravati. The crime branch has recovered stolen two-wheelers — a Yamaha and two Activa scooters — along with a Mauser, four mobile phones, a car key, an iron rod, an iron hammer, a vehicle number plate, an RC book, a mobile charger, a bag, and Rs12,400 cash, totalling approximately Rs3.27 lakh. These seized items and Kadbe were handed over to Kapil Nagar police for further investigation. With Kadbe's arrest, police have dismantled a sophisticated theft network. The cops are now probing whether Kadbe was having any accomplices while carrying out the crimes and his role in any cases.

Bangladesh arrests 48 Indian fishermen, impounds three boats
Bangladesh Navy has arrested 48 Indian fishermen, including 14 on Saturday (August 2, 2025) night, who strayed into Bangladeshi waters over the past 20 days. It has also impounded three trawlers. All the fishermen are from the Kwakdip area of the Sunderbans in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district. While on July 13, two trawlers – FB Jhar and FB Mangalchandi – were impounded, the third boat – Paromita – was detained on Saturday (August 2, 2025) night. The District Magistrate of South 24 Parganas, Sumit Gupta, said the administration has informed the Union Home Department about the arrest of the fishermen. 'It (repatriation) is not in the local authority's jurisdiction. Since this is a matter of international relations, the Home Department is looking into it,' Mr. Gupta told The Hindu. Visuals shared by local media showed the fishermen in custody of Bangladeshi authorities, with their wrists tied to their waists with ropes. All Bengal Fishermen Association member Joy Krishna Haldar slammed the arrested fishermen and demanded 'strict punishment' for them. 'We have decided that no one should venture out beyond the maritime borders even if we do not catch any fish and come back empty-handed and starve,' Mr. Haldar, who is also from Kwakdip, told The Hindu on Monday (August 4, 2025). Also read: Lost song of the Sundarbans' fisherfolk 'This has become an annual problem. Why do they go beyond the maritime boundary when they know the consequences? This looks deliberate,' he added. Mr. Haldar said fishermen become 'greedy' and stray into the Bangladeshi waters in hope of a better catch, especially the Hilsa. Fish from Bangladeshi waters commands a premium in West Bengal, he added. He said that the association has decided to sever ties with the detained fishermen. Last year, 95 fishermen released by Bangladesh were felicitated by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Sagar Island. India also repatriated 90 Bangladeshi fishermen detained in Indian waters. While India returned two trawlers belonging to Bangladeshi fishermen, six Indian vessels were returned by the neighbouring country in the exchange held near the International Maritime Boundary Line.

‘How did snatched black mobile turn blue?': Chandigarh court lets off 3
The court of additional sessions judge, Rajnish Garg, has acquitted three individuals booked by UT Police in a mobile snatching case, citing significant inconsistencies in the prosecution's evidence. The Chandigarh court noted that the prosecution failed to prove both the recovery of the stolen mobile phone and the identity of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt. (HT photo for representation) The case dates back to April, 2023, when complainant Kamalpreet Kaur, a resident of Phase-1, Mohali reported that her mobile was snatched on the night of April 7-8, 2023, in Sector-37, Chandigarh. She stated that three boys on a Punjab-registered Activa snatched her black VIVO mobile. Sector-39 police had booked Abhishek from Jujhar Nagar, Mohali, and Deepak and Vishal from Daddu Majra Colony, Sector-38. An FIR under IPC Sections 379-A, 34, and 411 was registered on April 10, 2023. SI Jagtar Singh was the investigating officer (IO). The accused were allegedly arrested during a police naka, with the snatched mobile phone being recovered. The court questioned the blue colour of the recovered mobile phone, as the complainant had stated in her complaint that her snatched VIVO mobile was of black colour. The prosecution presented five witnesses, while the accused pleaded innocence, claiming false implication and no recovery from them. The court highlighted an unexplained three-day delay in FIR registration. The incident occurred on April 7, but the complaint was officially moved on April 10. The complainant testified her statement was recorded on the spot on April 7, raising concerns about the suppression of the occurrence's origin. Further inconsistencies arose regarding the timeline of arrests. The court noted that the accused were apprehended and recovery was made within an hour of FIR registration, as per the IO. This suggested the possibility that the accused might have already been in police custody before the case was officially registered, implying the current case could have been 'planted'. The prosecution also failed to prove the accused's identity beyond a reasonable doubt. Although the complainant initially claimed she could identify the accused and provided the Activa scooter number, she couldn't recall it in the court. This discrepancy, coupled with the timing of apprehension, suggested police might have provided the scooter details to the complainant. The complainant's testimony on apprehension was inconsistent; she initially claimed her presence during arrest but later stated that the police showed her the accused at the station on an unknown date. Most critically, the prosecution failed to prove the recovery of the snatched mobile phone. Despite claims, the seizure memo listed the mobile as recovered from Vishal, while the IO and complainant testified it was from Deepak, a significant contradiction. Moreover, the recovered phone was blue, contradicting the complainant's statement and repair bill which stated her phone was black. The prosecution also couldn't establish the complainant's ownership of the recovered phone. The court concluded that the prosecution failed to prove both the recovery of the stolen mobile phone and the identity of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt.
