Palghar: Nalasopara Police have successfully arrested a wanted accused involved in a serious criminal case registered at Nalasopara Police Station. The arrest followed an intensive and technically challenging investigation carried out across multiple locations in Maharashtra.
Based on a complaint lodged on December 31, 2025, a case was registered under Sections 64, 75, 76, 77, 351(2), 308(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) along with Sections 66(E) and 67 of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
About The Case
The accused has been identified as Mahesh Patil alias Vijay Atmaram Patil (35), a resident of Turbhe Naka, Hanuman Nagar, Pfizer Road, Navi Mumbai, originally hailing from Malegaon, Jalgaon district.
Following orders from the Senior Police Inspector of Nalasopara Police Station, two special police teams were formed under the guidance of Police Inspector (Crime) Kumar Gaurav Dhadwad and Police Inspector Amarsingh Patil. One team was dispatched to Malegaon, Jalgaon, while the other operated in Navi Mumbai.
The investigation posed significant challenges as the accused was not using his own mobile phone and had absconded with the complainant’s mobile device. During technical analysis, the phone’s location repeatedly appeared within different prison premises, creating confusion regarding the accused’s actual whereabouts. Despite these obstacles, the police conducted a meticulous and skillful investigation.
