MD Addict Repeatedly Raped by Peddlers with Promise of Free Dose A 22-year-old married woman in Nagpur has filed a gangrape complaint against two peddlers, accusing them of forcibly introducing her to the synthetic drug MD and repeatedly exploiting her sexually in exchange for free doses between November 2024 and June 2025. The accused, identified as Ashish Shastri and Anurag Katariya, were her former colleagues at a computer institute and had ties to her husband, according to Khaparkheda police. The woman, who married in 2023, claimed she was trying to lead a normal life with her husband, a site supervisor in construction, but her old associates continued to supply her with drugs and demand sexual favors. The police complaint details how Shastri and Katariya allegedly lured her with promises of free MD injections before forcing her into sexual acts at isolated locations, including hotels and lodges in the city. The two accused are currently at large, and investigators are examining claims that the woman was administered addictive powders since her school days, leading to long-term dependency. She described how the peddlers exploited her by offering free doses, despite her efforts to quit. Senior Inspector Harish Rumkar of Khaparkheda police emphasized the complexity of the case, stating that a sensitive approach is required to uncover details about the drug network. “We are actively pursuing the arrest of the accused, and their custodial interrogation will reveal more about the drug trafficking involved,” Rumkar said. The survivor’s complaint highlights how predators use narcotics to trap victims over extended periods, with the case underscoring the systemic exploitation of drug addiction for coercion.#nagpur #khaparkheda_police #ashish_shastri #anurag_katariya #saoner_police
Aadhaar Helps Restore Identity of Missing Teen With Mental Condition For nearly two years, a young girl known only as "Manisha" (name changed) lived without a name, a past, or a place to call home. Found in a frail and disoriented state near Khaparkheda’s PWCEN colony in September 2024, she had a mental health condition and no memory of her identity or origins. At barely 17, her silence carried the weight of a life erased. Rescued by the Khaparkheda police, she was placed under the care of the Asha Kiran Balgruh Care and Support Center in Mhasala, Nagpur. While her physical recovery progressed, her identity remained a mystery. With no documents, no recollection, and no leads, her case became a stark reminder of how easily someone can slip through the cracks of society. The search for her identity persisted, driven by caregivers at the shelter and authorities who refused to abandon hope. That hope materialized on April 17, 2026, through an unexpected yet powerful tool: Aadhaar. Using the biometric-based “Find Aadhaar” feature on the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) portal, officials conducted a thumbprint verification. The system matched her biometric data with an existing Aadhaar record from Uttar Pradesh, unlocking a name, a family, and a destination. This breakthrough transformed a long-standing uncertainty into a story of hope and closure. The verification process was formally authenticated, initiating the steps to reconnect Manisha with her roots. Officials involved described the moment as deeply moving, emphasizing how technology, when used with care and intent, can restore not just identity but dignity and belonging.#unique_identification_authority_of_india #khaparkheda_police #asha_kiran_balgruh #asha_kiran_balgruh_care_and_support_center #mhasala_nagpur
