Nagpur: The Commissioner of Police Amitesh Kumar has ordered detention of one more hardcore criminal under Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities (MPDA) Act, 1981. The order was passed by the city police chief on Tuesday, December 14.
A resident of New Futala, Amravati Road, Opposite Neelkamal Apartment, coming under Ambazari police jurisdiction, the goon Akshay Kishore Madavi (24), has been sent to Nagpur Central Prison after he was detained under MPDA Act which is also known as Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Slumlords, Bootleggers, Drug-Offenders and Dangerous Persons Act, 1981.
The goon was active in MIDC, Ambazari, Sitabuldi and Sadar police areas and was involved in crimes of serious nature including attempt to murder, assault by lethal weapons, riots with deadly weapons, damage to public properties, possession of firearms illegally, and several other serious crimes.
