CRPF men bash-up City police constable

Ahead of State Legislature's winter session, the action is happening outside the political arena. For city police yet another emergency erupted after Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) staff allegedly bashed-up constables of Nagpur city police. The matter did not stop here as the angry CRPF constables reached MIDC police station and allegedly made an issue about registration of offence against them for their earlier action in CRPF campus. What's more shocking was joining of CRPF ranks by their superiors, taking advantage of fact that most of staff of MIDC police station was away in bandobast for winter session.

Police said that Narendra Nandankar attached to Ambazari police station was on way back to city with wife. The incident occurred around 9 pm when Nandankar's vehicle collided with bike being driven by a CRPF's constable. The mishap occurred near CRPF's campus gate no 4. Following the accident, a scuffle ensued between Nandankar and bike borne two CRPF constables who thrashed the former.
Nandankar promptly informed the matter to city police control room. A constable of MIDC police station Manoj Nagmote arrived at the spot and intervened in the matter. Nagmote asked Nandankar to proceed to police station for further probe. Hearing this the CRPF's constables informed the matter to their control room. Within few minutes more than 10 constables of CRPF arrived at the spot and ghearoed the lone MIDC constable, Nagmote who was on official duty and thrashed him wildly. On getting wind of the matter, staff of MIDC police station arrived at the spot and took injured Nagmote to police station.

After the incident, staff of CRPF including senior officers arrived at MIDC police station. The staff mounted pressured on duty officers of MIDC police station not to register offence against their men. At that only five to six  police personnel were present at MIDC police station. With all senior officers busy with more pressing matters of winter session, the CRPF pressure worked and two city police constables were sent away with consolation.

MIDC police sent Nandankar and Nagmote to Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) for medical examination. Additional Commissioner of Police (South Region) Anant Shinde and Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone I) Kailash Kanse rushed to police station and cooled down the tempers among two parties. DCP Kanse told The  Hitavada’that the matter is in under inquiry and offices will be registered after studying medical report.

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...

The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora.
