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...
- I do not know about future of Third Front, says Pawar

Rubbishing the talk about instability of Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government in the Centre and mid-term polls, Union Agriculture Minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar said that the Government was stable.
Commenting on the air over emergence of Third Front in the forthcoming general election, Pawar said, “I do not know about future of Third Front, and I do not believe in it. As far as my party is concerned, we have decided to be with UPA.” He was talking to reporters at Sawangi in Wardha district, on Sunday. He was in Sawangi to grace bhoomipujan ceremony of seven-storey Super Speciality Hospital and convocation of Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Science University-Deemed University (DMIMS-DU).

The stalwart politician rejected any possibility of mid-term elections. Asked about Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav’s recent statements regarding likelihood of mid-term polls, Pawar said that he enjoyed friendly relations with Mulayam. SP chief continued his support to the UPA Government and sometimes he also targeted UPA, he remarked. On the issue of two power centres in UPA, as referred to by AICC General Secretary Digvijay Singh, the NCP leader said that there were no conflicts within UPA. “AICC has already cleared its stand on Digvijay Singh’s statement,” he added.
Recently, Union Government honoured Madhya Pradesh for achieving the highest agriculture production. Asked as to why Maharashtra could not receive the award during his tenure as Union Agriculture Minister, Pawar said that Union Government had given many facilities to MP Government to increase agricultural production. “But, Maharashtra has only 17 per cent agricultural land under irrigation,” he rued. However, he ducked the question about so little agricultural area under irrigation despite spending huge money over last several years.
Earlier, while addressing a public meeting after bhoomipujan of seven-storey Super Speciality Hospital of DMIMS-DU, Pawar announced that he would stay in public life but would not contest elections. “After a satisfied political life, now I shall quit political life and will not contest election. We have responsibility to prepare new political leadership,” he added.
