Speeding truck mows down school boy, angry mob lynches driver

By
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.

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 als...
