The police, under the supervision of SP Anuj Tare, acting on intelligence and technical tracking, apprehended the culprits and recovered the stolen goods within just six hours.
The incident happened at around 3pm when Dnyaneshwar More, a driver from Ahirwadi, was travelling from Amravati to Jalabazar, Hingoli, in a truck. As he slowed down near a speed bump, a white car overtook and intercepted the truck. Four unknown assailants came out of the car, dragged More out, and threatened him with a knife before fleeing with the truck and its valuable cargo.
More immediately filed a complaint at Dhanaj Police Station.
The cops swiftly formed a team under station in-charge Bharat Lasante. Acting on the driver's description of the incident and the accused, the team zeroed down on Pandurang Methe, the prime suspect, through police informers.
Using technical investigation techniques and coordinating with police stations in Manora, Digras, and Pusad, the team tracked the stolen truck to a location around 100km from the crime scene. In a meticulously planned operation, the police seized the truck, the car used in the crime apart from seizing the stolen cargo while arresting all the four accused.

Pune duo use fake receipts to raise loans against gold jewellery
Pune: Phursungi police are searching for two brothers from Warje accused of using bogus receipts that showed high valuation of much lesser carat gold to pledge the yellow metal and raise loans from over 10 jewellery stores across the city. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The cheating came to light on Tuesday when Vikram Dhokale (35), owner of one of these stores in Phursungi, verified the certificates. Dhokale gave the duo a loan of Rs 80,000 against a 13.3g of gold chain mortgaged with him. Senior inspector Amol More of Phursungi police told TOI: "Dhokale runs a small jewellery store in the area. He realised that the chain mortgaged with him was gold-plated with 4 carats of yellow metal instead of a 22-carat chain as mentioned in the receipt given to him by the duo. This was only 20% pure. The gold hallmark was mentioned on the receipt as well as on the gold chain, which matched, and so Dhokale accepted it." Upon verification, Dhokale realised he was cheated and sent a message on an online group of jewellers from Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad. "This prompted over nine other jewellers to confirm that they, too, were cheated in a similar manner by the duo," More said. The officer said the brothers would approach jewellery stores seeking loans by pledging jewellery. "The two would present themselves as poor and in dire need of money. They wouldsubmit receipts for the gold they were mortgaging to the jeweller," he said. "We suspect that the names and other details furnished by the duo are also fake. Our teams are searching for them in various parts of the city. We will nab them soon," More added.

Aspiring model, his female friend held for driving Mumbai-based CA to end his life after extorting Rs 2.47 crore since 2024
Mumbai: An aspiring model and his female associate were apprehended for allegedly compelling a 32-year-old chartered accountant to die by suicide after extorting Rs 2.47 crore from him since 2024. The accused reportedly spent the money on online gaming and share market activities. The deceased, who ended his life at his Santa Cruz (East) residence on Saturday night, had lodged three non-cognizable complaints against the pair in the days before his death. His family stated that while he overcame cancer and achieved his CA qualification, he couldn't withstand real-life pressures, leaving behind his unwell mother. Vakola police arrested the accused, Rahul Parwani (26) and Saba Qureshi (22), on Tuesday from Lokhandwala, following a suicide note where the chartered accountant, Raj More, accused them of blackmail and extracting Rs 2.47 crore by compelling him to commit forgery using his company's account after exhausting his savings.

We've requested their bank records to trace the utilisation of funds extorted from More since 2024. Parwani admitted to investing in shares, online gaming, and daily expenses. He also obtained an SUV through a bank loan under More's name, making the deceased pay the EMIs," the officer explained. More experienced depression for a month before consuming poison after dining with his 62-year-old ailing mother and retiring upstairs on Saturday night. "My brother survived cancer four years ago whilst completing his CA. However, these two individuals repeatedly humiliated him locally, threatened him, and forced him into fraudulent activities. Recently, three non-cognizable complaints were registered against them after their late-night visits, threats, and assault on our elderly mother," the deceased's elder sister told TOI on Tuesday. The sister revealed that the pair publicly shamed her brother during night-time visits, questioning his sexuality and claiming possession of private videos. "They emailed his company about unpaid money. They purchased the SUV in his name, forcing EMI payments. The situation worsened when he took the vehicle from Parwani last month to return it to the bank, leading to increased mental torture. We demand justice and strict punishment, as their actions have left our unwell mother alone," she stated. A police officer mentioned More's three suicide notes describing his struggles, addressed to his mother, company management, and one detailing his depression from their harassment and extortion. Parwani, from Ajmer, relocated to Mumbai three years ago, residing in Lokhandwala and pursuing modelling after leaving an airline job. "Parwani connected with More via Instagram before Qureshi joined. Parwani extracted Rs2.44 crore since 2024, while Qureshi took Rs2.6 lakhs," the officer stated. The pair will face Bandra Court on Wednesday. They face charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for abetment to suicide and extortion, potentially facing 10 years' imprisonment and fines if convicted. MSID:: 122323623 413 |
