Nagpur: Kapilnagar police have arrested a 37-year-old man for allegedly possessing a deadly weapon and violating prohibitory orders while roaming on a two-wheeler in the Deepak Nagar area.
The action took place on March 20, 2026, between 7.15 pm and 7.50 pm during routine patrolling. Police received information that a suspicious individual was moving around in Deepak Nagar with a suspected stolen vehicle.
