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...

Government failed to provide respite to Vidarbha: Opposition

By

By Dheeraj Fartode
OPPOSITION parties on Friday charged Democratic Front (DF) Government with failure to provide any succour to Vidarbha and dishing out only old promises without any financial commitment and definitive time-frame. “Appointment of SIT to probe into irrigation scam was our achievement”, claimed Leader of Opposition Eknath Khadse who reminded that irrigation scam issue was discussed on 28 occasions in the past and it was because of relentless pressure the Government was forced to announce the probe.

Leader of opposition Eknath Khadse 

Addressing a press conference Khadse blasted “bankrupt, Rs 2.70 lakh crore debt-ridden” Government and charged it with abject failure on all counts. During winter session issues of price-rise, regional development, OBC scholarship, drought situation, farmers’ problems were raised forcefully by the Opposition, but Government gave typical answers and no additional concessions were announced, Khadse said.
The Government failed to announce any package for cotton, paddy and soybean farmers of Vidarbha, who are facing agrarian crisis. Maharashtra is reeling under severe drought. But, the Government had not announced any special package, Khadse stated. “We have demanded Rs 6,000 minimum support price (MSP) for cotton and Rs 2,500 for paddy. However, the Government has shown scant regard,” Khadse said.
The Opposition forced the Government to announce Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into irrigation scam and both the Houses were adjourned for first five days, Khadse said. “We had worked for 65 hours in five days instead of 60 hours in 10 days,” Khadse claimed while answering to criticism for stalling the house in first week.
When reporters asked about appointment of Judge and police officers in SIT, Khadse said “We have already demanded appointment of police officers and will force the Government if they do not appoint such experts the team.”
When asked about criticism by social activist Medha Patkar that BJP and NCP fixed the issue of SIT, Khadse described it as her personal opinion and stated that BJP and entire Opposition compelled DF Government to bring White Paper, appoint SIT and we will ensure that guilty must be punished. Opposition also claimed credit for suspension of two IAS officers in NA scam. 
Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council Vinod Tawde, BJP state president Sudhir Mungantiwar, Shiv Sena MLA Vinod Ghosalkar, MNS group leader Bala Nandgaonkar, MLAs Nitin Sardesai, Girish Bapat were present at the press conference.

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...
