Nagpur: The Gittikhadan police have apprehended notorious criminal Roshan Sheikh and his brother Abu for allegedly threatening a rape survivor with an acid attack. The duo had been on the run since March 8 in connection with cases of extortion and harassment.

The breakthrough came on March 16 when the victim spotted Roshan Sheikh at a salon in Bajaj Nagar and promptly alerted the Gittikhadan police. However, instead of arresting him, the police allegedly tipped him off, enabling his escape. The incident came to light on March 17, leading to swift action from Police Commissioner Dr. Ravinder Kumar Singal, who reprimanded the Gittikhadan police.

Following the intervention, Roshan Sheikh and his brother were apprehended. The case has raised concerns over alleged police negligence, prompting further scrutiny into the handling of such cases.
