नागपुर टुडे

नागपुर जिले में देशी शराब बनाने की ६ बॉटलिंग प्लांट/फैक्ट्री है. सभी के सभी शहर सीमा के भीतर होने से शौकिनो को मनमानी गुणवत्ता सह कीमत में शराब उपलब्ध करवा रहे है. अब जिले के बाहर से आने वाले शराब का खेप LBT के चक्कर में शहर में धंधा नहीं कर पा रहा, LBT हटते ही बाहर से आने वाले शराब शहर में छाने का डर शराब माफियाओं को सता रहा है.

शराब के धंधे से जुड़े लोगो का कहना है कि मांगों अनुरूप गुणवत्ता की कमी की वजह से जिले में कोपरगॉव(शिर्डी) की देशी शराब भिंगरी खूब चल रही है. वही शहर में माह भर में LBT के चक्कर में अधिकतम ५००० पेटी की बिक्री हो रही है.
शहर में दर माह लगभग २५० लाख पेटी की बिक्री है,यानि रोजाना शहर में ७ से ८ हज़ार पेटी शराब की खपत है, जिसमे सबसे ज्यादा १ लाख पेटी देशी शराब विदर्भ डिस्टिलर्स, दूसरे क्रमांक पर नागपुर डिस्टिलर्स, तीसरे क्रमांक पर कोंकण एग्रो और सबसे पीछे रॉयल ड्रिंक्स जिले में खुद की निर्मित देशी शराब की बिक्री कर पा रहे है, वह भी भिंगरी से काफी निम्न दर्जे का शराब निर्मित कर रहे है. इसलिए जिले में शहर सीमा के बाहर भिंगरी का एकछत्र राज है.

जिले के शराब माफियाओं में यह डर समां रहा है कि जबतक LBT है तबतक शहर में टिक पा रहे है, जैसे ही बदलते वातावरण में LBT हटी कि शहर में भिंगरी की जोरदार एंट्री हो जाएगी।इसका सीधा असर शहर सीमा में देशी शराब की बॉटलिंग/निर्मिति कर रहे सभी ६ समूह को पड़ना तय है.एक निर्माता के करीबी के अनुसार LBT हटने के बाद भिंगरी ने गुणवत्ता बरक़रार रखा तो रोजाना खपत का ३ हिस्सा भिंगरी का होगा।

इसलिए जिले के शराब माफिया जिले भर में भिंगरी पर पाबन्दी लगाने हेतु चिल्लर विक्रेताओ को डरा धमका रहे है. आज भी वाड़ी में भिंगरी की बिक्री पुनः शुरू नहीं हो पाई. डराने का क्रम यह है कि एक चिल्लर का पुराना विक्रेता को भिंगरी के पक्ष में लड़ाई लड़ने के चक्कर में अपनी जान गवाने का डर सता रहा है. रामटेक विधानसभा के कुछ भिंगरी के अधिकृत विक्रेताओ ने यह योजना बना रखी है कि ज्यादा दबाव बनाया गया तो १ दर्ज़न देशी शराब के लाइसेंसी अपनी दुकान बंद कर आबकारी विभाग को दुकान की चाभी थमा देंगे. खापरखेड़ा के चिल्लर विक्रेता शराब माफियाओं के यूनियन से नाता तोड़ खुद का नया यूनियन पंजीयन के फ़िराक में है.

उल्लेखनीय यह है कि उक्त घटना क्रम में आबकारी विभाग की चुप्पी समझ से परे है,यही आलम रहा तो राजस्व डूबने का खतरा मंडरा रहा है.

शराब माफियाओं को LBT ख़त्म होने से होगा नुकसान, LBT हटते ही शहर में भिंगरी की एंट्री पक्की

The youth, Sunil Yele (26), a native of Village Jambhulni in Sangli District, had come to Nagpur for testing his muscles in police recruitment drive and become a policeman. The drive was being held from June 6. However, during the 5-km run test, Sunil fainted and fell on ground, unconscious. Sunil was shifted to Orange City Hospital where he was diagnosed with suffering from sunstroke. Unfortunately, the sunstroke left Sunil with multiple organ failure and cost of treatment over Rs 4 lakh.

Nagpur News: A stroke of destiny has not only shattered a budding youth’s dream to become policeman but has put his very life in serious jeopardy. Moreover, family life of the youth has also been left in tatters.

The youth, Sunil Yele (26), a native of Village Jambhulni in Sangli District, had come to Nagpur for testing his muscles in police recruitment drive and become a policeman. The drive was being held from June 6. Sunil left for Nagpur on June 5 and appeared for physical test on June 6. However, during the 5-km run test, Sunil fainted and fell on ground, unconscious. The policemen present at the spot took Sunil to Lata Mangeshkar Hospital on Hingna Road. But when his elder brother reached Nagpur the next day, Sunil was shifted to Orange City Hospital. The doctors at the hospital diagnosed Sunil and informed that he was suffering from sunstroke. Unfortunately, the sunstroke left Sunil with multiple organ failure and in critical condition. The temperature on June 6 was recorded a tormenting 46.7 degree Celsius.

Since June 6, Sunil Yele is being administered treatment in ICU of Orange City Hospital. Sunil is middle sibling among three brothers, all well-educated but unemployed. His father died 12 years ago. Sunil, who runs a tailoring shop, got married just six months ago. In the quest to become policeman, Sunil tried his luck in the past also but in vain. Now, the stroke of moment has not only shattered his dream to pieces but he himself lies in hospital battling for life with multiple organ failure. And family in distress. Sunil’s elder brother Datta has managed Rs 60,000 by mortgaging 1.5 acre ancestral land for his treatment. But the amount is proving to be nutshell in penury in the face of vast cost of medical treatment that lay ahead. The hospital has estimated the medical treatment to be around Rs 4 lakh, or even more.

Now, only one question is pricking Datta Yele: How to manage such a big amount? Sangli is top NCP leader and Home Minister R R Patil’s district. And he is emerging the only hope for Sunil’s family members. They have too demanded help from Maharashtra Government to overcome the difficult period the Nagpur summer thrust upon them.

Leakages of 4 ESR’s plugged, Seminary Hills MBR rehabilitation in full swing, Killa MBR work to start

Nagpur News

IN a bid to save potable water going waste from old and leaking ESR’s (Elevated Service Reservoirs) the Orange City Water (OCW) which has been operating and maintaining water supply system of city, took initiative and on priority basis successfully not only plugged leakages on four major ESR’s of Nandanvan, Mini Mata Nagar , Laxmi Nagar (Old) and Wanjari Nagar ESR’s (overhead tank), but also started much awaited rehabilitation process of two major Master Balancing Reservoirs (MBR) like Seminary Hills and Sitabuldi Fort (MBR).

OCW, (as on June 16, 2014) has completed leakage plugging work of ESR’s like Nandanvan and Minimata Nagar and same work on other ESR’s like Laxmi Nagar (Old), Wanjari Nagar are on final stages.

In next phase OCW will be taking up another 14 ESR’s for leakage plugging work which are Bazonbagh, Dighori, Bharatwada (Deshpande Lay Out), Kalamana, Wanjari, Nara, Boriyapura, Chinchbhuvan, Dabha, Dhantoli, Gayatri Nagar, Killa Mahal, Mhalagi Nagar and Takli Sim.

At all these ESR’s, OCW will be using latest ‘Pressure Grouting’ technique for rehabilitating old overhead water tank. It is technique where series of holes were drilled through the concrete slab and wall of ESR, and a grout tube then inserted into each hole. Then a special chemical is pumped under pressure through each hole. The grout then displaced, compacted and solidified thus forming grout columns. Pressure grouting has now stabilised the existing concrete walls, slabs etc. these ESR’s.
It must be noted that Nandanvan, Mini Mata Nagar, Laxmi Nagar (Old) and Wanjari Nagar ESR’s have been rehabilitated by OCW expert’s team without disturbing the scheduled water supply and taking any shutdowns etc.

All roads lead to the sight of romance beside Ambazari garden lake. So whenever you are there, be ready to catch some handful of young couples getting closer than the permissible limits which is otherwise prohibited at such a place of common visit. But love has no boundaries…and romance is always found in ‘Free State’ in nature. As the heat in Nagpur has slowed down gradually, the love meter has gained momentum. The ‘love birds’ of Nagpur are once again migrating back to their usual, and perhaps the most sought after mating grounds. Welcome to the Ambazari Lake where romance runs amok and uncontrollable. Here love is not restricted to any season…it breeds in all temperatures and often shows its ‘multiple’ nature.

Says a patrolling cop to this correspondent who just happened to visit this place (all alone…before your imagination go wild) when it was dark, “Their (the couples slipping off to this place) ‘romance’ usually lasts not more than 10 minutes. Often they risk their safety and hunt for the dark in the nights to share those ‘special’ moments. I am here to stop them not because I wanted to play spoilsport but I am concerned about their safety. Just because the couples hit at this spot particularly during night hours, the incidents of loot are usual to this place. Most of such incidents are often not reported to the police to maintain their secrecy of their love.”

However, the dark hours at Ambazari may have its dark romantic stories to share, but what our lensman Amol Gajbhiye came across was the daylight romance.

Here’s for you to get a glimpse of it.

Oh I see…!

Visitors passing through the walk way beside Ambazari lake are often greeted with similar scenes.

There’s ‘something’ behind the bushes…

As our lensman noticed this sight, he could not hold back and turned on his tool to shoot at this sight.

Till cops do us apart…

Unperturbed by the what’s around, the couple appears well soaked in love beside Ambazari waters.

A report of MSEDCL itself shows Nagpur a good city. But the same MSEDCL leaves no stone unturned to hurl injustice on a law abiding city. Nagpur recorded the least number of power theft cases when the MSEDCL undertook a special drive across Maharashtra to detect pilferage of electricity. But Nagpur City is finding itself at receiving end when it comes to smooth and regular electricity supply. Apart from hours and hours of load-shedding on whimsical grounds, electricity supply gets interrupted by drop of a hat.

Nagpur News: A simple statement has brought a simple story to light. But the story is not so simple to tell. Nagpur City, Second Capital of Maharashtra, is being punished. Punished for being intelligent, punished for being large hearted, punished for sacrifice, and above all, punished for being not guilty. Nagpur City is finding itself at receiving end when it comes to smooth and regular electricity supply. Apart from hours and hours of load-shedding on whimsical grounds, electricity supply gets interrupted by drop of a hat. (Weather woes like strong winds, heavy rains courtesy poor machinery and maintenance). All these problems despite Nagpur being a decent, honest city.

A report of MSEDCL (Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Corporation Limited), the electricity supplier, itself shows Nagpur a good city. But the same MSEDCL leaves no stone unturned to hurl injustice on a law abiding city. Nagpur recorded the least number of power theft cases when the MSEDCL undertook a special drive across Maharashtra to detect pilferage of electricity.

It may be recalled, Nagpur Today had run a report titled: “MSEDCL nets Rs 10 crore from power stealers in a special drive across State, 1007 booked” which said the MSEDCL flied high and netted more than Rs 10 crore on account of power thefts exposed in a state-wide crackdown. The MSEDCL undertook a special drive across Maharashtra in the month of May and detected pilfering of 16,25,840 units in 1007 cases. Subsequently, an amount of Rs 10.28 crore was recovered from 1566 electricity stealers and the offenders were booked under various sections of Electricity Act-2003 apart from other penalizing actions. The special drive was undertaken in 14 Divisions of MSEDCL. During the drive, the MSEDCL squads inspected 3292 consumers of Single Phase and Three-Phase connections belonging to domestic, commercial and industrial categories. Subsequently, action was taken against a total of 1007 consumers under Section 135 of the Electricity Act-2003 and 51 consumers faced Section 126 of the Act on the charges of power theft. Out of the above said offenders, complaints against 410 consumers have been lodged with various police stations across the State and the process in other cases is underway. The maximum cases of power thefts were detected in Kalyan (244) followed by Bhandup (193), Nagpur Rural (186), Amravati 167), Nashik (118), Pune (110), Latur (110), Nanded (85), Kolhapur (79), Baramati (70), Ratnagiri (71), Jalgaon (62), Aurangabad (46) and the least in Nagpur City (25).

The above statement of MSEDCL makes it crystal clear that Nagpur City is much ahead in decency, honesty and way behind in illegal acts like power theft. But for MSEDCL, decent word holds no value. It needs hundreds of electricity thieves to value the service. MSEDCL’s motto, it seems, is: “Power is given only to him who dares to stoop and take it … one must have the courage to dare.” An inference can also be drawn from the MSEDCL statement, and motto, too, that “Pain and suffering are always inevitable for good, intelligent and large-hearted people. The really great men must have great sadness in Nagpur.” The words are true in real sense as Nagpur City is subjected to dark hours every now and then at slightest excuse. But the picture is totally different in other cities of Maharashtra, particularly the western ones, where the sun never sets (continuous and regular electricity supply). 24-hour power supply despite being guilty on the charges of electricity theft and other offences. The MSEDCL statement conspicuously and unscrupulously did not mention the record of power thefts in Mumbai whereas the drive was undertaken across Maharashtra. May be bigwigs from political, industrial, commercial and other fields involved in the power theft. Or may be MSEDCL have no jurisdiction. But the fact is Mumbai baths in bright illumination and stays cool for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 30 days a month. Because it is Capital City. The Second Capital City is for the sake of name and game only. But Nagpur City is honest. Then why the punishment? Is MSEDCL taking a cue from Western Maharashtra leaders in meting out step-motherly treatment to Nagpur?

In the present situation of injustice despite being not guilty, Nagpur citizens can brag the words: “…there is power in self-sacrifice.” But at the same time the cautioning words are: “Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there’s nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you.”

And for MSEDCL, it could follow the words and be rational: “Rather let the crime of the guilty go unpunished than condemn the innocent”.

MSEDCL punishing Nagpur City for being good, honest & not stealing power like other cities?

कामठी-कोराडी-मौदा विधानसभा के जनप्रतिनिधि की हालात ठीक वैसी ही है जिस तरह से लोक सभा चुनाव में कांग्रेस के खिलाफ वातावरण तैयार हुआ था.वर्तमान विधायक से मतदाता खासे नाराज़ बताए जा रहे हैं. केंद्र की तरह यहां भी जनता मजबूत उम्मीदवार की तलाश में है.अब यह कांग्रेस यानि मुकुल वासनिक पर निर्भर है कि किसे मैदान में उतार कर अपनी योग्यता सिद्ध करते है.

४५० बूथ वाली कामठी-कोराडी-मौदा विधानसभा में 1.२५ लाख कुनबी,दलित-तेली-मुस्लिम ६०-७० हज़ार आदि मतदाता हैं. कुनबी की संख्याबल अधिक होने के बावजूद बीते एक दशक से यहां तेली समाज का विधायक है.यानि यहां  जातिगत समीकरण की बजाय सूझबूझ से चुनाव को तरजीह दी गई. इस विधान सभा सीट पर वर्तमान भाजपा विधायक चंद्रशेखर बावनकुले हैं लेकिन अब जनता बदलाव के मूड में है, हालांकि कोई भी पार्टी सक्षम उम्मीदवार नहीं उतार पा रही है जिसके कारण जनता यहां लगातार गिरते राजनैतिक स्तर से त्रस्त हो चुकी है.

भाजपा इस बार भी वर्तमान विधायक बावनकुले को तीसरी दफे मौका देकर जनता से नाराज़गी मोल लेगी।लेकिन उम्मीदवार बदलने की हिमाकत नहीं करेगी,वैसे भी बावनकुले के कार्यकाल में दूसरा भाजपाई नेता उभर के सामने नहीं आ पाया। लोकसभा चुनाव में बसपा और आम आदमी पार्टी ने भी अच्छा-खासा मत संग्रह कर विधानसभा क्षेत्र में अपने मजबूत होने का एहसास करा दिया है.

कांग्रेस के पास उम्मीदवारों की लम्बी फेरहिस्त है.जिनमें शकूर नागानी, सुरेश भोयर, प्रसन्ना तिड़के आदि टिकट के लिए प्रयासरत हैं. वहीँ ऊर्जा राज्यमंत्री राजेंद्र मूलक और जिला परिषद सदस्य नाना कम्भाले विशेष अवसर वाले कांग्रेस उम्मीदवार हो सकते हैं.

इन दिनों सुरेश भोयर के बारे में यह चर्चा आम है कि विधानसभा चुनाव में कांग्रेस की टिकट इनके सिवाय किसी को नहीं मिलेगी। इसकी वजह यह बताई जा रही है कि  भोयर के लिए मुकुल वासनिक का गुट और सांसद अशोक चव्हाण के दामाद लॉबिंग कर रहे हैं, जो  कि  भोयर कॉलेज का प्राचार्य भी हैं. दोनों अपनी-अपनी जगह काफी मजबूत है.भोयर का विरोध देवराव रडगे-पुरुषोत्तम शहाणे-हुकुमचंद आमधारे गुट कर रहा  है, भोयर द्वारा की जा रही गुटबाजी से क्षुब्ध सभी भोयर को छोड़कर किसी को भी उम्मीदवार बनाने पर राजी हैं लेकिन वे किसी भी सूरत में भोयर को टिकट दिए जाने का पुरजोर विरोध कर रहे हैं.

वही नागानी और तिड़के दोनों मूलक गुट के हैं. नागानी इस इलाके के सबसे बड़े विश्वासपात्र हैं तो तिड़के मूलक मित्रमंडली के सदस्य हैं. नागानी कामठी के बाहर सक्रिय नहीं और चुनावी खर्च के मामले में संकुचित है.और तिड़के जिलापरिषद नहीं जीत सकते तो विधानसभा चुनाव जीतना अभी दूर की कौड़ी है.

कामठी के राजनीतिक जानकारों का मानना है  किस्था नीय उम्मीदवार नहीं दिए तो राजेंद्र मूलक को कामठी-कोराडी-मौदा विधानसभा से उतारा जाये,यह बावनकुले के खिलाफ सबसे उत्तम उम्मीदवार साबित होंगे ।अगर नहीं तो कांग्रेस का स्थानीय जिला परिषद सदस्य नाना कम्भाले जैसे नए उम्मीदवार को मौका देकर कांग्रेस सह वासनिक ने नया प्रयोग करना चाहिए।कम्भाले और बावनकुले की वैचारिक लड़ाई इस क्षेत्र की सबसे पुरानी और जानदार लड़ाई है.खुद बावनकुले का भी मानना है कि उनकी राजनीति  को सबसे ज्यादा खतरा कम्भाले से है ,उन्होंने अपने स्तर से कई बार समझौता करने की कोशिश की लेकिन बात नहीं बनी.कम्भाले  प्रमुख है और तालुका के  सभी गुट के नेताओ के चहेते हैं. बावनकुले समर्थको का मानना है कि उन्हें कोराडी से ही कम्भाले पछाड़सकते हैं.

इस क्षेत्र के जानकारों का मानना है कि कांग्रेस -राष्ट्रवादी ने समय की नजाकत को ध्यान में रखते हुए यह भी राय दी है कि विधानसभा चुनाव में बसपा से गठबंधन कर उन्हें न जीत पाने वाले १०-१२ सीट दे कर बसपा वोट बैंक को अपनी ओर करना चाहिए जो की लाभप्रद साबित होगा।

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Bhandara, in a cracking success, trapped and arrested a Food Safety Officer Class-II (An Assistant Commissioner) in the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) Bhandara while accepting a bribe of Rs 6,000 on Monday (June 16).

According to ACB, the complainant, Ramraj Shalikram Sarve (33), resident of Rajani Nagar, Khat Road, Bhandara, runs a distributor agency for cold drinks namely M/s Yashraj Enterprises. On 13.6.2014, P A Umak, Food Safety Officer, Bhandara, visited Sarve’s godown for inspection. During inspection, the Food Safety Officer Umak, in his report, pointed out many shortcomings prevailing in M/s Yashraj Enterprises pertaining to documents, safety standards and other aspects. Subsequently, a notice was issued to the establishment by the Food Safety Officer P A Umak thereby directing it to take appropriate measures to remove the shortcomings within 14 days and file the action taken report to his office. The said notice was signed by Ashok Nagorao Athawale, the designated Officer and Assistant Commissioner (Food).

After receiving the notice, the owner of M/s Yashraj Enterprises, Dhanraj Shalikram Sarve asked his younger brother Ramraj Sarve to go to Food and Drugs Administration Office, Bhandara for further seeking further details in the matter. Accordingly, on 13.6.2014 at about 3 pm, Ramraj Sarve went to Food and Drugs Administration Office in Bhandara and met the Assistant Commissioner A N Athawale in this connection. However, Athawale, after reading the notice, demanded a bribe of Rs 15,000 for dumping the matter and another Rs 15,000 for not initiating any action against M/s Yashraj Enterprises.

However, Ramraj Sarve, instead lodged a complaint with Anti-Corruption Bureau against the Assistant Commissioner A N Athawale (51), the designated Food Safety Officer Class-II in the FDA Bhandara and resident of Pragati Society, near Sonegaon Lake, Sahakar Nagar, Nagpur. Accordingly, the ACB laid a trap and caught Athawale red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs 6000 (settlement amount) in his Food and Drugs Administration Office in Bhandara on Monday (June 16). The ACB later immediately filed an offence with Bhandara Police Station against Athawale under Sections 7, 13(1)(D), Sub-Section 13(2) of Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 and arrested him. The ACB has recovered the marked bribe amount of Rs 6000 from the accused Ashok Nagorao Athawale.

The action was taken by ACB Deputy SP Prashant Kolwadkar, PI Kishore Parvate, Poloice Constables Ashok Lulekar, Bhaurao Wadibhasme, Gautam Raut, Sachin Halmare, Parag Raut, Ashwinkumar Goswami, Manoj Panchbudhe, Shekhar Deshkar, Rasika Kangale, driver Manoj Chavan (All ACB) under the guidance of DCP/SP ACB Ashok Shirbhate.

In a development of far reaching consequences, a police constable went absconding or missing when a high-ranking official reprimanded for negligence of duty. The wife of the police constable too alleged that her husband is not be seen anywhere after Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Zone-4 Chandra Kishore Mina scolded him. She alleged harassment at the hands of DCP Mina the reason behind her husband going missing.  However, when Nagpur Today reporter contacted a police official for confirmation of the unusual   development, he, on the condition of not making his name public, said that the police constable is in habit of creating tantrums and resorting to dramas whenever he finds himself on the wrong side. This is his way of deflecting the real situation, said the officer.

According to sources, the drama was witnessed in Imambada Police Station in the city. The police constable, Sunil Rahdave alias Sunil Topi (in his friend circle) was on Charlie Duty in the night of June 13. A chain-snatching crime was reported from Ashok Chowk area that came under Sunil’s beat. However, the action of Sunil Rahdave was found totally negligent, irresponsible that amounted to dereliction of duty. At the same time, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Zone-4 Chandra Kishore Mina was his routine round. When the DCP Mina reached Imambada Police Station he was informed about the chain-snatching and the irresponsible attitude of Sunil Rahdive towards the crime. The outcome was on expected line. DCP Mina severely reprimanded and gave a dressing down to the police constable. Sources further said that this was not the first time Sunil was found shirking responsibility but he had a record of irresponsible behavior and dereliction of duty time and again. Reports of Sunil helping the anti-social elements poured in consistently.  Hence the police constable was in the books of higher officials for his unexpected tantrums.

DCP Chandra Kishore Mina is well-known for his upright, straightforward and no-nonsense style of working. The fact that the crime graph is showing a decline and many hardcore criminals behind bars is a sharp pointer to the style of working of the DCP. He keeps a personal watch on the activities in Imambada Police Station and the crime situation, too. The high-ranking official minces no words in scolding the staff when needed and is no miser in praising them as well.

However, the severe reprimand of police constable Sunil Rahdave took a dramatic turn when his wife, in a well-planned conspiracy, lodged a complaint with Imambada police wherein she alleged harassment of her husband at the hands of Deputy Commissioner of Police Zone IV Chandra Kishore Mina.

Kiran Rahdave, wife of Sunil, informed Imambada police that Sunil left house for his duty on June 13 on his Pulsar motorcycle at around 8 pm. However, her husband did not return home even after duty hours. She searched for him and enquired with his colleagues and friends about Sunil’s whereabouts but they were clueless as well.

According to sources, Kiran further alleged that Sunil was in stress for past few days allegedly due to harassing words and actions of DCP Chandra Kishore Mina. Kiran alleged that DCP Mina insulted her husband on many occasions that caused stress to Sunil. Kiran in her complaint mentioned that Sunil had shared his ordeal with her and thus she suspected that this harassment might have led to Sunil’s disappearance, said the sources.

The development has resulted in a massive search for Sunil Rahdave and the staff of Imambada Police Station has started scanning every possible spot where the absconding police constable could be traced. Now, the focus is on the revelation Sunil Rahdave would make once he is traced or he himself appears on the scene.
