Families’ opposition to their affair drives young lovers to suicide

By
TWO young lovers ended their lives by jumping in front of a running train on Godhni line near Mankapur Railway Crossing in Koradi area on Wednesday midnight. It is believed that parental opposition to their affair drove them to suicide. Mutilated bodies of Rashmi Sunil Bawangade (17), a resident of Quarter No 28, Model Town, Bezonbag, and Arman alias Deepak Karamchandani (21), a resident of HUDCO Colony, Jaripatka, were found on railway track around midnight.

Rashmi was a 12th standard student of Tidke Mahavidyalaya. Arman ran an electronic goods shop at Warpakhad. It is learnt that families of Rashmi and Arman were opposed to their affair. They had also warned the two to stay away from each other. According to information, Rashmi left home for college at around 1 pm on Wednesday but did not return till late evening. Her parents lodged a complaint with Jaripatka Police stating that Arman had kidnapped their daughter luring her with a promise of marriage.
On the basis of a complaint, Jaripatka Police registered a case under Sections 363 and 366 of the Indian Penal Code against Arman. An unidentified caller informed Arman about the complaint lodged by Rashmi’s parents. This naturally disturbed the couple. It was then that they reportedly decided to take the extreme step.

A linemen noticed them walking on the railway track and asked them to get off it. Rashmi and Arman misled the linemen saying that they were college students doing a research for which they were counting total number of trains passing from Mankapur Railway Crossing. After the lineman left the spot, Rashmi and Arman, together jumped in front of a speeding train.
Around midnight, some workers noticed their mutilated bodies on the railway track and informed the police. Staff from Koradi Police Station visited the spot. Cops found Rashmi’s moped and a college bag just few metres away from the spot. On the basis of her college identity card and her cellphone, Rashmi’s identity was established. Arman’s relatives identified his body after police informed them about the incident. After conducting the panchnama, cops sent the bodies to Mayo Hospital for autopsy.

The police informed the two families about the tragedy on wee hours of Thursday. Some relatives of the deceased visited the spot. From there, they went to Mayo Hospital. After autopsy, their bodies were handed over to the relatives. Last rites were performed on Thursday afternoon. Koradi Police have started investigations into the incident.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

By
IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script also ha

The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza.
