Police Nakabandi

Entire city police force right from Commissioner of Police to Police Constable were on their toes on Tuesday night for a special nakabandi carried on to capture criminals and anti-social elements. The sudden orders to conduct this massive checking drive were given by new Commissioner of Police K K Pathak following a credible input received from intelligence agencies about possible trouble on December 6. Exactly 20 years ago, the disputed Babri structure at Ayodhya was demolished and since then intelligence agencies are keeping a close watch on elements which may foment trouble to disturb communal harmony. Though such warnings have become almost routine, the police force is taking no chance this time as well.

This time, the entire Maharashtra Police has been asked to remain on high alert. The Director General of Police asked top police officials across the state to personally lead the force and undertake massive combing exercise. Especially four wheelers are being checked. A senior police officer confirmed that all top officials including Joint Commissioner of Police Sanjay Saxena, Additional Commissioner of Police Anant Shinde, DCPs Kailash Kanse, Mangaljeet Siram, Chandrakishor Meena, Sanjay Darade, all ACPs, all Police Inspectors and their sub-ordinate staff maintained vigil on every major city streets. Even in notorious slum areas, betting dens, liquor bars and eating joints, the operation was carried out to identify trouble mongers. In rural area, Nagpur SP Dr Manoj Kumar Sharma, Additional SP Prakash Jadhav led the force.

Till the filing of this report, the entire force was visible in every part of city. Sudden presence of such a large number of personnel and senior officers took citizens by surprise. Apart from routine checks like drunken driving, special emphasis of entire operation was to nab history-sheeters and probable trouble makers. On the eve of Winter Session, the second capital otherwise also gets a thick security blanket. During coming days, similar surprise checks will be conducted in various parts of city. With additional force coming to Nagpur to maintain vigil during winter session, citizens will have to undergo such special nakabandi for security reasons.

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...
