By Dheeraj Fartode Shocking allegations of misconduct have emerged against a police officer in Nagpur City Police. The officer is accused of abusive and degrading behaviour, particularly targeting accused in Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Sources claim that the senior officer arrives at the police station and calls the accused into a separate room, where the officer not only hurls abuse at the accused but also spits at their face. Later, the officer allegedly kicks the accused in the private parts. In some incidents, when a couple approached a police station in Nagpur to file a complaint following a domestic dispute, the police sent a proposal for preventive action to the officer. However, instead of handling the matter professionally, the officer allegedly made the man sit down, then kicked him in the private parts and leave him in pain and humiliation. The behaviour of the high ranked official have raised questions about the professionalism of law enforcemen...
IN A case of ‘instant justice,’ an irate mob of villagers and factory workers lynched a drunk driver after his speeding truck crushed a school boy to death and seriously injured two other children on Wardha bypass near MIDC Butibori on Thursday evening. After attempting to to set afire the ‘killer’ truck, hundreds of villagers and factory workers blocked the highway for more than two hours.
Akshay Charandas Dhore (15), a resident of Ganeshpur, died instanteously after he was run over by the truck (MH-40/N-1872). Rahul Ashok Dehriya (14), also a resident of Ganeshpur, and Tabassum Iqbal Khan (15), a resident of MIDC, Butibori, who were returning with Akshay from Nistane High School, were seriously injured. The injured children were rushed to Maya Hospital. As their condition started deteriorating, they were admitted to Shree Hospital in the city.
Soon after the mishap, villagers and factory workers blocked the truck a few metres from the accident spot. They pulled out drunk driver Vinayak Daduji Shendre (40) from the cabin of the truck and lynched him. However, the mob did not touch the cleaner. The villagers then made futile attempt to torch the truck. Soon after the staff from Bori Police Station visited the spot, hundreds of villagers blocked the highway for more than two hours.
Superintendent of Police Dr Manoj Kumar Sharma and Additional Superintendent of Police Prakash Jadhav visited the spot. As the situation was out of control, they summoned Quick Response Team (QRT) and additional force from Nagpur (Rural) Police Headquarters. Anti-riot Unit was also deployed. After Dr Sharma and Jadhav assured the villagers that police would conduct an impartial probe into the incident, they called off the ‘Rasta Roko’ agitation.
Superintendent of Police Dr Dharma told ‘The Hitavada’ that that truck driver Vinayak Shendre of Ruikhairi, who was lynched by the mob, was driving in an inebriated condition. “Investigations are underway and Bori Police will book all those involved in lynching the truck driver. The highway is now cleared and situation in the area is returning to normal,” he added.
