The incident occurred between 4:00 am and 6:15 am on December 6, 2025, when police personnel were patrolling the Gulshan Nagar area near Shitala Mata Mandir. Upon spotting Kadir, a known offender registered at the police station, officers signalled him to stop. Instead, he tried to escape, prompting the team to chase and apprehend him near the underpass barricade at Gulshan Nagar.
During a search conducted in the presence of witnesses, police recovered 25.10 grams of MD powder from the pocket of his black jacket. The team also seized two mobile phones and a Unicorn motorcycle (MH 31 AK 6149), collectively valued at Rs 3,61,000, from his possession.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the accused was allegedly carrying the narcotics for illegal sale to earn financial gains. Following the seizure, a case was registered under Sections 8(c) and 22(b) of the NDPS Act at Kalamna Police Station, and the accused has been arrested. Further investigation is underway to trace his supply network and associates.
This successful operation was carried out under the guidance of Police Commissioner Dr. Ravinder Kumar Singal, Joint CP Navinchandra Reddy, Additional CP (South) Shivajirao Rathod, DCP Zone 5 Niketan Kadam and ACP Kalamna Division Rohit Ovhal. The police team included PI Pravin Kale, API Ganesh Dhumal, PSI Shashikant Musale, and constables Pramod Kangale, Vishal Bhaisare, Nitin Mishra, Lalit Shende, Avinash Gwalbanshi and Ajay Gatlewar.
