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...
Shiv Sena’s Dr Neelam Gorhe, BJP’s Pankaja Munde, NCP’s Vidya Chavan, Congress’s Yashomati Thakur and Alka Desai, and others staged protest on the stair case. Atrocities against women are raising in the country. On Monday, a 23-year-old girl was gangraped in a moving bus in New Delhi. A 10-year old girl was sexually exploited in Nagpur, the second capital of Maharashtra. The lack of stringent laws is being seen as main hindrance in acting as deterrent for the culprits and hence there are not let-up in actions against women.
NCP’s Women Wing has also come on front and submitted a memorandum to all MLAs at Vidhan Bhavan on Tuesday. The legislators gathered at staircase with placards and shouted slogans for stern action against every accused in the rape case. They also demanded for immediate appointment of Chairman of State Women’s Commission that is lying vacant since long.
Spokesperson of Shiv Sena Dr Neelam Gorhe said that government should ensure safety of women in state as crime against women is increasing everyday. The accused have no fear about law as they are getting bail after committing heinous crimes like rape. All women MLAs will raise the issue in both houses of State Legislatures to give justice to every woman of the state, she added. Vidya Chavan said that non-bailable offence should be registered against the accused persons. Tougher punishment are needed so that the culprit understand what means to outrage the modesty of woman and similarly a message goes to society that crime against women does not pay off.
The memorandum submitted to Chief minister demanded quick registration of first investigation report (FIR); immediate seizure accused clothes and other incriminating material so that medical report, that plays an important role during trail can be clear cut; expert doctors should be appointed in state hospitals; special section be incorporated in Indian Penal Code (IPC) on the lines of one existing in Uganda and UK for trying accused persons involved in acid attack. They insisted for a ban on telecast of obscene movies and videos on television. Censor Board should rethink over their certificate issuing system, the legislators unanimously demanded.
