  • Amirzada Nawab Khan’s story to be telecast on Zee Yuva

    Amirzada Nawab Khan’s story to be telecast on Zee Yuva

    MUMBAI: Maharashtra Police, one of the potent police forces in India, has come a long way from the decade of 80s when it lacked training & high-end precision weapons which is the norm of late. That decade was marked with the rise in crime and police’s main weapon were their networking skills with informers.

    One of the most dreaded criminal who rose to infamy in this period was Amirzada Navab Khan who had a flourishing narcotics business. This period marked the terror of Amirzada’s ‘Pathan’ gang. The gang was famous for the fear that it commanded over the common masses. Numerous cases were registered against them but only a handful of eyewitnesses were ready to testify.

    One brave police officer Isaque Bagwan from the crime branch team rose to fame when the case of Mushirbhai who was the producer of Dilip Kumar’s movie ‘Shakti’ was kidnapped. The subsequent ransom demand & release from the clutches of the Pathan gang raised many questions on the capability & integrity of Maharashtra Police. This case was handed over to Bagwan. Through his strong network of informants, he managed to nab Amirzada & his partners who were part of the crime.

    This case was not an easy task for Bagwan as he had to ensure that the trial of Amirzada comes to its logical conclusion. Amirzada on being brought for trial was shot by a shooter in the courtroom. Bagwan’s sharp presence of mind resulted in apprehending the shooter by pulling the trigger & shooting him in the leg, one of the first in–court shooting incidents. This saved the pride of many including the lady justice who was presiding on the case.

    This spine-chilling case will unfold on Zee Yuva’s new show Shaurya – Gatha Abhimanachi this Friday & Saturday at 9pm. This story truly embodies the spirit of Maharashtra Police. Similar stories centered around the Braveheart’s of Maharashtra Police can be seen on Zee Yuva’s new show Shaurya – Gatha Abhimanachi.
