Online Sex Ring Busted, Two Women Rescued Nagpur police conducted a raid on a hotel in Ganeshpeth, dismantling an online sex trade racket and rescuing two young women—originally from Delhi and Uttar Pradesh—who had been lured into prostitution with false promises of quick money. The operation, part of "Operation Shakti" under police commissioner Ravinder Singal, took place between 8 p.m. on May 6 and 3 a.m. on May 7. The team included officers like Naik Constable Ashwin Mange, Sameer Shaikh, Kunal Masram, and senior inspector Rahul Shire. The investigation revealed the racket was run by a Jharkhand-based agent named Raj, also known as Ranjan Kumar Pandey. Women were targeted through a mobile number listed on a website, with traffickers exploiting their financial distress to coerce them into commercial sex work. The rescued women, who had been trapped in coercive exploitation, were medically examined and handed over to Ganeshpeth police station for statements and rehabilitation support. A cash amount of ₹6,730 was seized during the raid. Authorities are now searching for the main accused and the individual linked to the website-listed mobile number, considered the key coordinator of the operation. Police sources highlighted that traffickers increasingly use websites, social media, and messaging apps to operate such networks, often disguising them as massage or escort services. Women from North India, facing unemployment, debt, or migration pressures, are frequently targeted with false promises before being forced into exploitation. The case was registered at Ganeshpeth Police Station, marking another step in the police's ongoing efforts to combat human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.#ganeshpeth_police_station #nagpur_police #ganeshpeth #operation_shakti #raj_ranjan_kumar_pandey
A young doctor from Mayo Hospital in Nagpur was robbed of his gold chain by two assailants during a road accident, but police swiftly solved the case within three days. The incident occurred near Lotus Chowk in Ganeshpeth police station limits on March 8, when Dr. Kaustubh Kale (25) fell off his bike after crossing the Empress City Gate to Lotus Chowk area. As he lay injured with a head wound, two helmet-less individuals on a black motorcycle snatched his 20-gram gold chain and fled. Dr. Kale managed to reach Mayo Hospital for first aid and later filed a complaint at Ganeshpeth police station, where a case was registered the same day. Police sub-inspector Vijendra Nachan and his team, including assistant sub-inspector Sameer Shaikh, conducted an extensive investigation by analyzing over 100 CCTV cameras along the route and nearby areas. They also relied on informants to track the suspects. The breakthrough came when the prime suspect, Rajesh alias Babya Uike (23), a resident of Nandanvan, was identified along with his minor associate. On March 11, police conducted searches and located the duo, recovering the stolen gold chain, valued at Rs2,40,000, along with two mobile phones and a motorcycle used in the crime. The operation was supervised by DCP Rahul Madane, senior police inspector Atul Tawade, and police inspector (Crime) Pandurang Jadhav. Authorities are now investigating whether the suspects were involved in other chain-snatching incidents reported in Nagpur. The gold chain will be handed over to Dr. Kale after legal formalities are completed. The case highlights the police's efficiency in resolving crimes despite the challenges posed by the incident's circumstances.#mayo_hospital #ganeshpeth_police_station #dr_kaustubh_kale #rajesh_alias_babya_uike #dcprahul_madane
