Time of India9 hours ago
Chandrapur: In a significant crackdown on habitual offenders, the Chandrapur district administration has ordered the detention of notorious criminal Sangam Sambhaji Sagore under the Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities (MPDA) Act for a period of one year.
The action was taken following a proposal submitted by Chandrapur police, citing his repeated involvement in criminal activities and the atmosphere of fear he created in the district.
Sagore (30), a resident of Mitra Nagar near Ambedkar College, Chandrapur, has been booked in as many as 21 criminal cases across police stations in Ballarpur, Ramnagar, Padoli, and Bhadravati. His record includes armed robberies, grievous assaults, unlawful possession and use of firearms, arson, obscene verbal abuse, murder, and attempted murder.
Despite multiple preventive measures taken against him in the past, Sagore continued to engage in violent and disruptive acts, posing a threat to public safety and law and order.
His criminal behaviour has led to widespread panic and insecurity among the local populace.
Taking cognisance of the matter, Chandrapur Superintendent of Police submitted a detailed proposal under the MPDA Act, which aims to curb the activities of slumlords, bootleggers, drug offenders, and other dangerous individuals.

Simply saying 'I love you' to a minor girl does not amount to sexual harassment: HC

Jul 02, 2025 09:50 AM IST MUMBAI: The Nagpur bench of Bombay high court on Monday acquitted a 27-year-old man accused of sexually harassing a minor girl in 2015, observing that he could not be convicted for merely saying 'I love you' to the girl and holding her hand. Simply saying 'I love you' to a minor girl does not amount to sexual harassment: HC The incident dates back to October 2017 in Nagpur when the 17-year-old girl was walking back home from her college. The accused, who was also aged 17, allegedly approached her on a motorcycle, held her hand and said 'I love you'. Based on her complaint, the police registered an FIR against the accused. A sessions court had convicted the man under Section 354A (sexual harassment) and 354D (stalking) of the Indian Penal Code as well as Section 8 (sexual harassment) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012. A single-judge bench of justice Urmila Joshi-Phalke heard a petition filed by the accused in 2017 challenging his conviction by an additional sessions judge in Nagpur. The man claimed that he was booked due to previous enmity between the duo and that there was no witness to the incident. He further claimed that the charges put up against him were also not established as there was no evidence to show he had followed her and forced personal interaction despite a clear indication of disinterest from her. Taking this into account, the high court set aside his conviction noting that the prosecution could not prove the 'sexual intent' of the accused and said that merely expressing his feelings saying 'I love you' and holding her hand does not amount to sexual harassment.
