Nagpur: In a disturbing incident, six juvenile delinquents who had recently escaped from the Government Observation Home at Patankar Chowk went on a crime spree, culminating in an attack on a police constable. The incident unfolded behind Eternity Mall in Sitabuldi on Wednesday.
Constable Sushant Wadiya, affiliated with the DB Squad of Sitabuldi Police, became a target when he attempted to intervene as the juveniles were in the act of looting cash from a transgender individual at knife-point.

Earlier in their escapade, the six undertrial juvenile delinquents had fled to Gondia in a stolen auto-rickshaw. A confrontation with the police ensued near Kudwa Chowk on Gondia-Tirora Road, resulting in an altercation where the juveniles armed with sharp weapons evaded capture.
Subsequently, a pursuit by Gondia Police was cut short as the stolen auto-rickshaw met with an accident near Dr Karlekar’s Hospital close to Mama Chowk. Seizing the opportunity presented by the narrow lanes, the juveniles managed to evade the pursuing officers.
Having returned to Nagpur, the gang resumed engaging in various criminal activities. The City Police have initiated a search for the remaining five juvenile delinquents, emphasizing their involvement in serious crimes. Cases against them have been registered at police stations in Gondia, Hudkeshwar, Kapil Nagar, and Sitabuldi, reflecting the gravity of their actions.
