DCP spits and assaults accused in custody

By
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...

Farmers crossed barricades, marched near Ramgiri

By





On eve of winter session of state legislature here, city police machinery faced its acid test when hundreds of Shetkari Sanghatna ran past police blockade to meet Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan. The farmers were insisting on meeting Chief Minister while the cops got instruction to hold back the protesters who were staging sit-in at RBI Quarters Square. The bandobast duty team dutifully put around barricades.
The agitating farmers defied police bandobast and ran past till Ladies Club while the cops chased them in a bid to rein them. Not wanting to use force, the cops had a hard time controlling the angry farmers. Earlier, farmers from Vidarbha and Marathwada region gathered at RBI Quarters Square and launched a sit-in protest. The agitation was led by former MLA Wamanrao Chatap, Ravi Dewang, Ram Newale, Sheila Deshpande, Saroj Kashikar, Jagdish Nana Bonde and Gunwant Patil Hangargekar.
The agitators lost cool after the police officers conveyed the message that Chief Minister is busy and cannot meet them right now. The angry farmers got carried away and removed police barricade and run towards Ramgiri. Cops, deployed in bandobast, attempted to stop the march but, it in vein. The farmers also tried to storm into MLA Hostel but cops foiled the bid.
The marching farmers then moved towards Ahimsa Square as police personnel tried to put them inside wooden barricades. But full of energy the farmers managed to dodge past cops and ran towards Ramgiri road. After getting information, senior officers with around 200 policemen quickly put in place second line of defence. So the farmers though successful in escaping the first dragnet could not move past the Ladies Club Square. Not that farmers were tired, some among them still tried to wrestle with policemen. But a tactful handling by cops put in place the farmers at Ladies Club Square.
Senior officers including Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone I) Kailash Kanse and Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Pratap Dharamshi rushed to the spot and talked to farmers leaders. The agitating farmers cooled down after senior officers gave an assurance to arrange an meeting with Chief Minister. A delegation of 17 members of Shetkari Sanghatana later called on Prithviraj Chavan at Ramgiri and submitted him a memorandum at 8 pm.
Riot Control Police (RCP) and Quick Response Team (QRT) were deployed to evade any untoward 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 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...
