A chilling crime has rocked East Nagpur, where a family was reportedly robbed after being knocked unconscious by a tranquilizer spray late Thursday night. The incident took place in the Lakadganj area, where unidentified intruders entered a residence, allegedly using a chemical spray to subdue the family members before escaping with cash, gold ornaments, and other valuables. When neighbors noticed the door left ajar the following morning, they alerted the police, who found the family still unconscious and rushed them to a nearby hospital. Fortunately, all victims are now stable. Such incidents are not new to the region. In 2022, a similar case was reported in Mahal, where robbers used chloroform to incapacitate an elderly couple before stealing jewelry worth ₹8 lakh. Again in 2023, police in Ajni registered a case involving a masked gang that used sleeping gas during a late-night break-in. Investigators believe the latest robbery could be the work of a well-organized network familiar with chemical-based theft techniques spreading across urban Maharashtra. Police have launched a full-scale investigation, scanning CCTV footage from nearby lanes and shops. Forensic teams have also collected residue samples from the crime scene to identify the chemical agent used. Authorities have urged citizens to remain cautious about suspicious noises, movements, or strangers in their vicinity, especially at night. This incident serves as a stark reminder that crime patterns are evolving — and so must vigilance. #NagpurCrime #EastNagpur #TranquilizerRobbery #CitySafety #NagpurPolice #CrimeAlert #UrbanSecurity #Lakadganj #MaharashtraNews #PublicSafety

The Nagpur City Police have extended the ban on heavy vehicles entering city limits to ease traffic congestion and ensure public safety during the festive period. The order, issued on October 7, 2025, will remain in effect until further notice. According to the Traffic Department, the restriction applies to trucks, trailers, and other large transport vehicles during peak hours within major city areas, including Sitabuldi, Sadar, Itwari, and Central Avenue. The measure aims to reduce road blockages and improve the movement of public and emergency vehicles amid the Dhammachakra Pravartan Din and Dussehra celebrations. Essential supply vehicles—such as those carrying fuel, milk, and medical goods—are exempt from the ban. Police have warned that violations will lead to strict action under the Motor Vehicles Act. Authorities also announced additional personnel deployment at key intersections and the use of AI-based traffic monitoring systems to enforce compliance and manage diversions smoothly. #NagpurTraffic #HeavyVehicleBan #NagpurPolice #CitySafety #TrafficUpdate #NagpurNews #Dussehra2025 #DhammachakraPravartanDin #UrbanMobility #NagpurUpdates
Over about 20 days, Nagpur city police launched “Operation Thunder” and dismantled six drug syndicates operating across the city, arresting 11 suspects and seizing narcotics worth around ₹60 lakh. The busts included large quantities of ganja and the synthetic drug mephedrone (MD) in multiple raids. This crackdown is significant because it targets networks that were reportedly influencing local youth. The police are continuing investigations, trying to track down suspects still at large, and hoping these actions will deter further drug trade in the region. #Nagpur #DrugCrackdown #OperationThunder #AntiNarcotics #Mephedrone #GanjaBan #CitySafety #YouthProtection #LawEnforcement #NagpurPolice
