The action comes days after a violent gang clash and firing incident that took place around midnight on July 16 in the jurisdiction of Pachpaoli Police Station. Police had arrested 10 members of the two rival gangs involved in the incident.
During the investigation, authorities found that MCOCA accused Ajay Chinkhede, along with Rahul Shinde, Durgesh Gupta, Ashwin alias Acchi Indurkar, and Krish Thakur, had allegedly encroached on government land by constructing illegal shops in the Shanichara Bazaar area.
Acting on the findings, a joint team of Nagpur Police and NMC launched the demolition operation on Monday evening, removing the unauthorized structures amid tight security arrangements.
Officials said the action reflects the administration’s zero-tolerance policy against organized crime and illegal encroachments, sending a strong message that criminal networks and unlawful constructions will face strict enforcement.
