Armed Goons Go Berserk, Rob & Murder Auto Driver On Desolate Road A violent incident unfolded on the desolate Gorewada to Pitesur road in Nagpur on Saturday night, where armed goons allegedly robbed and stabbed an autorickshaw driver to death while also injuring a catering worker and manhandling women in the group. The attack, which occurred around 12:30 am, has sparked demands for improved police patrolling and security measures on vulnerable stretches of the road. The victims included Mohammad Kashid Mohammad Rafiq, a driver from Mominpura, who was fatally stabbed during the assault. He was rushed to a hospital but succumbed to his injuries. The attack also left Kamlesh Jadiya, a catering worker, with injuries to his left hand. The incident occurred when the autorickshaw, carrying nine catering workers—including women—was intercepted near the Hanuman Temple T-point on the Gorewada-Pitesur Road. The goons, described as knife-wielding individuals, forcibly stopped vehicles and pedestrians before targeting the autorickshaw. The assailants allegedly charged at the catering workers with knives after they resisted the robbery attempt. The driver, Kashid, was then assaulted and stabbed repeatedly in various parts of his body. The attackers also snatched his mobile phone and approximately Rs 3,000 in cash before fleeing the scene. Mankapur police, along with the crime branch and Gittikhadan police, launched a joint operation to investigate the incident. Within a couple of hours, seven suspects were arrested, including Yash Gawande, Navin Uike, Raj Thakur, Sameer Uike, Sanjay Jogi, and Rohit Jagdale, all residents of Gorewada. A 17-year-old boy was also detained, while two more unidentified accused remain at large.#mankapur_police #gorewada_pitesur_road #sheikh_salim_sheikh_sameer #yash_gawande #navin_uike
Security Guard Fraud: Nagpur Job Scam Involves Rs31 Lakh Deception A security guard in Nagpur allegedly impersonated a senior official of Western Coalfields Limited (WCL) to defraud two families of over Rs31 lakh, according to police. The scam, which spanned several months, involved forged documents, false job promises, and deceptive tactics that misled the victims into transferring substantial sums of money. The case was registered after suspicions arose when no official appointment orders were issued, leading to an investigation by Mankapur Police. The accused, identified as Ajit Jinna, allegedly posed as a WCL manager and approached Govardhan Warthi, a 56-year-old resident of Godhani, to secure a job for his daughter. Jinna, along with his associates Amol Jirafe and Vaibhav Surjuse, collected Rs17 lakh through RTGS and online transfers to Vaibhav’s bank account. To bolster their credibility, the trio allegedly produced forged letters bearing official-looking signatures and stamps. Warthi, trusting the documents, even arranged for his daughter’s medical examination at a private hospital as part of the purported recruitment process. Suspicions were raised when no formal appointment order materialized. Upon enquiring at WCL’s Jaripatka office, Warthi discovered that Ajit was actually employed as a security guard there, not an officer. This revelation prompted the police to register a case against the trio under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including Sections 419 (cheating), 465 (forgery), 468 (forgery of documents), 471 (using forged documents), 506 (criminal intimidation), and 34 (common intention). The same gang allegedly targeted Shubham Margade and his younger brother, defrauding them of Rs14 lakh using similar methods.#western_coalfields_limited #mankapur_police #ajit_jinna #amol_jirafe #vaibhav_surjuse
