Nagpur, India: On October 22, 2024, the Nagpur Police Commissioner ordered the detention of notorious criminal Yogesh Bante (52), under the Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities (MPDA) Act, 1981. Bante, a resident of Bhande Plot, Nagpur, has been involved in numerous serious crimes, including offences against persons and property across multiple police station jurisdictions in the city.

Upon review, the Police Commissioner ordered his immediate arrest, and Bante was placed in Nagpur Central Jail, with further arrangements being made to transfer him to Nashik Central Jail.
This action is part of Nagpur Police's ongoing efforts to ensure public safety and curb the activities of dangerous criminals.
