Vet Student Steals Gold from Train Passenger to Recover Online Betting Losses A veterinary student from Nanded, Rohit Duyyewar (23), was arrested for allegedly stealing gold jewelry and cash worth approximately ₹23 lakh from a sleeping passenger aboard the Bikaner Express at Nagpur railway station. The incident occurred around 2.15 am on March 29, when Harishchand Chandwani (65), a resident of Raipur, was traveling with his family to Ujjain in coach A2. Chandwani’s wife had placed a purse containing gold ornaments and ₹20,000 under her head while sleeping on berth K03. The purse was later found empty in the coach bathroom, prompting an investigation by the Government Railway Police (GRP) in Nagpur. The GRP, under the supervision of SP (Railways) Mangesh Shinde, launched a thorough inquiry. Investigators examined over 200 CCTV feeds from the station and surrounding areas, identifying a suspect leaving the premises. Analysis of Rapido bike bookings and mobile data led police to Nanded. On April 6, a team was dispatched to monitor vehicles traveling between Nanded and Nagpur. Surveillance intensified on April 7, and Duyyewar was intercepted at Rahate Colony. After a brief chase near Friends Colony, he was arrested. Confronted with CCTV evidence, Duyyewar confessed to the crime. Police recovered gold ornaments valued at around ₹18 lakh, while efforts continue to trace the remaining valuables. The accused was remanded in police custody for further investigation. According to investigators, Duyyewar, who was studying veterinary science in Nagpur, resorted to theft after incurring significant losses from online betting. The case was resolved through coordinated fieldwork and technical surveillance, highlighting the effectiveness of modern investigative methods.#nanded #government_railway_police #rohit_duyyewar #harishchand_chandwani #bikaner_express

Loco Pilot Dies by Suicide at Railway Hospital A Central Railway loco pilot from Tadali in Chandrapur, Sudhakar Chunarkar (59), died by suicide at the Nagpur Railway Hospital on Friday. His body was discovered hanging from a towel in the bathroom of a private ward, according to police. Chunarkar had been admitted to the hospital on Thursday after sustaining fractures in both legs following a fall from the first floor of his building on March 20. He was initially treated in Chandrapur before being transferred to the Nagpur facility. Chunarkar’s wife had left for her native place on Friday morning after the death of a relative, leaving him alone. During the day, one of his relatives waited outside the hospital while Chunarkar entered the bathroom. When he did not emerge after a prolonged period, the relative became suspicious and broke open the door, only to find him hanging. Hospital authorities promptly informed the Railway Protection Force (RPF), Government Railway Police (GRP), and city police, with a forensic science team also arriving at the scene. The police registered the case as an accidental death, noting that no suicide note was found. Central Railway has initiated a departmental inquiry into the incident. The hospital authorities confirmed that Chunarkar’s condition had been stable prior to his admission, and there were no immediate indications of distress during his treatment. The incident has raised questions about the mental health support available to railway employees, particularly those dealing with injuries sustained in workplace accidents.#railway_protection_force #central_railway #sudhakar_chunarkar #nagpur_railway_hospital #government_railway_police
