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...

Break-up: Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani

By




Truth can be stranger than the fiction. A City girl, barely 18, took her one-sided affair, rather too seriously and did something unimaginable. Mad in love with a boy, this girl took the extreme step of abducting the youth with the help of friends, bashed him up when he refused to reciprocate and finally shaved his head in a saloon to teach him a lesson for turning down her proposal.

This unusual and violent one-sided love story surprised even the cops, who initially disbelieved the episode.

Shital (18), a resident of Rachna Gokul Apartment, was ex-polio worker with Nagpur Municipal Corporation and Sachin (22), a resident of Tandapeth was driver with NMC’s vehicle. During polio vaccination drive, love blossomed in heart of Shital. It was one sided love, but Sachin never reciprocated her gestures. During past three to four months, the girl tried to come quite close to Sachin. But, Sachin maintained safe distance from this girl.

According to boy, Shital tried many a times to woo him and openly displayed her affection for him and dropped enough hints about soft-corner in her heart. But her efforts turned futile and Sachin never showed any interest.

On Tuesday, Shital along with five men accomplices hatched a plan to teach a lesson to Sachin. Shital and her accomplices chased Sachin’s vehicle from NMC. When Sachin stopped his vehicle in Mahal area, the accused persons blocked his vehicle and pull him off from the vehicle.

Police Inspector Rajendra Tayde said that the girl caught hold of Sachin and scolded him for neglecting her and hurting her feelings. Accomplices of the girl then came in front and bundled Sachin in Mahindra Bolero car. PI Tayde further said that the accused took Sachin to Mankapur area. The girl then thrashed Sachin with leather belt. Even then Sachin refused to express his love and this further infuriated Shital. Later they took Sachin to a saloon and shaved his head.

Shocked by this violent behaviour of girl, Sachin mustered courage and lodged a complaint with Kotawali police station. Kotwali police have registered a case under sections 365, 355 and 143 of Indian Penal Code. Till now, no arrests have been made.

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...
