AI Joins the Force: Maharashtra Police Deploys ‘Crime-OS’ for Smarter Investigations

By
By Dheeraj Fartode  Imagine a police officer uploads an FIR and within seconds, an AI assistant begins planning the investigation. It write official letters, scan bank data and spot suspicious transactions. It sounds like science fiction - but it’s now reality in Maharashtra. The state police have started using Crime-OS, a powerful Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool developed under the MARVEL project (Maharashtra Research and Vigilance for Enhanced Law Enforcement). This tool, built in partnership with the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Nagpur, works like the co-pilot feature in Microsoft Office - but to solve crimes. It helps police save valuable time and reduces the heavy workload of investigations. Assistant Superitendent of Police (ASP) Deepak Agrawal explained that police investigations usually take a lot of time and effort. Crime-OS is designed to ease that burden. “For example, if a fraud case FIR is uploaded, the tool automatically picks out important information. It t...

Doctor thrashed an on duty Sub-Inspector

By

TENSION erupted in Government Medical College (GMC) after a group of medical students clashed with some youths and assaulted a Police Sub-Inspector (PSI) on Saturday evening. Ajni Police booked 10-15 youths including medical students for creating ruckus and attacking PSI Nitin Indrale. Soon after the cops rounded up the accused students, a large number of GMC students gathered in front of Ajni Police Station.

According to Police, a youth Vipin Siddharth Bangar (22), a resident of Jogi Nagar, and his girl friend  were talking after parking their respective two- wheelers near the rear gate of the GMC. Amit Arun Shende, a MBBS student, allegedly picked up a quarrel with Vipin saying that outsiders were not allowed in the college premises. After heated exchanges, Amit immediately called other medical students. Bangar too contacted his friends on his cellphone and called them. Both the groups then clashed. More than 50-60 medical students also gathered.

Staff from Ajni Police Station led by PSI  Indrale rushed to the spot on being informed. While cops were trying to disperse them, Dr Hemantkumar Parmanand Umar (23), post-graduate student, came and  thrashed PSI Indrale. Dr Umar then slapped PSI Indrale and obstructed the cops in their duty.  Sensing trouble, PSI Indrale  summoned additional force and rounded up 10 to 15 persons including Dr  Umar and  some medical students. Following a complaint lodged by PSI Indrale, an offence under Sections 353, 332 and 186 of the IPC has been registered against Dr Umar.

On the basis of the statement given by Sanket Sanjay Wadokar (20), a MBBS II years student and a resident of Room No 20, GMC Boys Hostel, cops registered an offence under Sections 143, 147, 148, 294, 506 b, 323, 34 of the IPC read with Sections 135 of the Bombay Police Act against Vipin Bangar and 4-5 others. Similarly, Vipin Bangar lodged a counter complaint following which Ajni Police registered an offence under Sections 294. 323 and 506 of the IPC against Dr Hemantkumar Umar, Sanket Wadokar, Mahesh Vyankatrao Chanaf, and Amit Shende.

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...

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

By
CONSTRUCTION work of 700-metre-long cable-stayed bridge, longest in the country, with a viewing gallery at the top at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil is near completion. 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. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is...
