The Nashik City Police swung into action as soon as they got a tip that a car was carrying illegal weapons, narcotics, explosives or similar contraband.
The police added that the suspect steered clear of the main roads to avoid getting caught, and as the chase continued, he raced across Nashik City from Adgaon, Dwarka U-turn, Amardham U-turn, KK Wagh College, to Chakradhar Swami Mandir.

"Was it a tip off? Or a random catch? Because it looks more like an ad for having more“teams”. I remember once being stopped close to Jammu by what I realise now must have been some Davinder Singh type IB / MHA / Border Police drug operation. Totally random," a third commented.
A fourth user commented, "Glad that our officers were not hurt.. This was a very dangerous chase anything could have happened.. kudos to the Officers who got the job done and nabbed the suspect."
