210kg Ganja Worth 20 Crore Seized Near Pardi, 4 Arrested Nagpur: The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Mumbai Zonal Unit, conducted a successful operation near Pardi on Saturday, seizing 210 kilograms of ganja valued at approximately 20 crore rupees. Four individuals were arrested and taken to Mumbai for further investigation. The operation was based on specific intelligence, leading to the interception of a truck suspected of transporting the illicit cargo. The seized ganja, originating from the Sambalpur region in Odisha, was concealed among metal sheets in the truck’s cargo. The vehicle, registered in West Bengal, was reportedly en route to major cities including Nagpur, Amravati, Akola, Nashik, Pune, and Mumbai for bulk distribution. Officials confirmed that the contraband was part of a larger network aimed at supplying the drug to multiple urban centers. The NCB’s operation began with the arrest of two individuals, P Kumar and R Kumar, after stopping the truck near the Pardi police station. Through sustained questioning, authorities identified two Nagpur-based distributors, referred to only as Patil and Varma, who were subsequently arrested. The case has been registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, marking a significant breakthrough in combating drug trafficking in the region. The intercepted truck’s movement was tracked from another state, highlighting the NCB’s advanced intelligence-gathering capabilities. The operation underscores the bureau’s efforts to dismantle drug supply chains and disrupt the flow of narcotics into key markets. The seized ganja’s value emphasizes the scale of the illegal trade, which poses a serious threat to public health and law enforcement.#odisha #pardi #west_bengal #narcotics_control_bureau #sambalpur
56-Year-Old Man Gets 20-Year Jail for Pocso Offence Nagpur: A 56-year-old man named Ganpat Jaipurkar, residing in Pardi, was sentenced on Thursday to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for sexually assaulting an eight-year-old girl on September 15, 2024. The court, presided over by district and additional sessions judge SH Gwalani, found Jaipurkar guilty of the crime, which occurred when the girl’s parents were at work. The case came to light after the girl’s parents filed a complaint with Pardi police, leading to Jaipurkar’s arrest on September 21. The arrest was facilitated by CCTV footage that provided critical evidence against him. The investigation was swift, with the chargesheet filed by investigating officer Mira Sawant within 23 days of the complaint. Special public prosecutor Kalpana Pandey played a pivotal role in securing the conviction, which was achieved in just 14 months. The court also imposed fines totaling Rs7,000, with additional penalties for defaulting on these fines. The case highlights the legal system’s efforts to address serious crimes against minors, particularly under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act. The sentencing underscores the severity of the offense and the judicial commitment to holding perpetrators accountable. The girl’s parents, who had initially reported the incident, were instrumental in initiating the legal process. The use of CCTV evidence in the arrest and trial demonstrates the growing reliance on technology in criminal investigations. While the case is specific to Nagpur, it reflects broader societal concerns about child safety and the need for stringent legal measures to protect vulnerable individuals.#pardi #sh_gwalani #pocso_act #ganpat_jaipurkar #mira_sawant
Another power outage in pardi bhandewadi area, been more than 2 hours nows Disappointing #powercuts #blackouts #mahadiscom #electricity #pardi #bhandewadi
Lots of power cuts in the bhandewadi area, Can't work for hours on end! Judging by how often and frequently they turn it on and off, it does not seem like it's an emergency or big breakdown in the infrastructure. Who can be held responsible for this and who can improve the situation? @dipesh @theone #powercuts #powergrid #bhandewadi #pardi #nagpur #mismanagement #breakdown #blackouts
