Nagpur: In a filmy style chase and action, Ganeshpeth Police foiled murder of a man by four car-borne criminals with the help of an abducted youth. Cops have nabbed one of criminals after a hot chase on Monday. Police have also rescued the young man kidnapped by the criminals, besides seizing sharp-edged weapons and a Maruti Swift Dzire car.
Identified as Sandeep Vinod Samudre (28), the accused is a resident of Sindhi Colony, Khamla.
