Ruthlessly crush gangsters: CP directs cops

By
Commissioner of Police K K Pathak


By Dheeraj Fartode

Rattled by increasing street violence and open defiance of police authorities by goons armed with revolvers and pistols, the top police officials held a crucial meeting on Friday morning to devise strategy to overcome menace of defiant criminals. The Commissioner of Police K K Pathak has ordered entire force not to spare these criminals and trheir gangs and instead take all steps under law to ruthlessly crush them. 

Despite launching a massive man-hunt after small-time thugs opened firing at police personnel, the operation so far has failed to make any head-way forcing police leadesrhip to undertake brain-storming. Though the routine measures like nakabandi were enforced, but these goons dared to fire at police personnel many a times at different parts and till date are roaming freely.
What has worried the cops, is the growing trend of youngsters in their twenties using fire-arms to settle personal scores without any fear of law. The easy availability of fire-arms and its misuse to terrorise girls and their family members by these anti-social elements has spread a wave of terror among law-abiding citizens who want tough action against these criminals. Infact Bajrang Dal activists had staged a dharna demanding encounter of these criminals and in support of police force.
Commissioner of Police K K Pathak himself chaired the meeting and directed officials to arrest the goons, launch a massive combin operation to search and seize weapons, intensify patrolling in key areas to flush out criminals hiding in their dens.
The meeting was conducted at CP office, where Joint Commissioner of Police, Additional CP, all DCP and relevant police officers were present. The CP then held a special meeting of crime branch officers where DCP Sunil Kolhe and PI Madhv Giri were present.
Respective police stations, crime branch sleuths have been asked to use full force to arrest these goons, their associates and suspected gangsters and arms dealers who help such non-descript goons in procuring pistols, desi katta or revolvers.
Commissioner of Police has assured Nagpurians about their safety and said that cops will take stringent action against criminals, who are creating trouble for safety of common man in city. “Cops will act tough against criminals and they will be behind bars soon,” said CP Pathak while talking with ‘The Hitavada’.
Sources said that CP have directed senior officers to nab all history-sheeters, crack whip against all known criminals and their gang-members.
CP Pathak further said that special teams are formed for arrest of accused in fire-murder case. “We will put them in lock-up very soon,” he said.

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 also ha

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.
