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.

A trial court handed down capital punishment to a college dropout who was held guilty of murdering his girl friend. The second accused in the case who helped dispose of the body got lifer. The wheels of justice moved quite fast as the gory incident came to light on independence day last year and within a year the trial concluded and accused persons were awarded the sentences.Main accused in the case is Dharamvir Shriram Chavan (24), a resident of Palloti Nagar. He was dating Dhanashri Ramteke, a resident of Indrayani Nagar, Gittikhadan and a B Com second year student of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar College. Dhanashri however was outgoing and hence had large friend circle while Dharamvir was obsessed with the girl. He used to suspect Dhanashri was having affair with other boys and that was the bone of contention between the couple.
A few days before the incident Dharamvir had spotted Dhanashri talking to couple of boys in front of Poonam Chamber and that time the accused had thrashed his girl friend in full public view. Dharamvir’s suspicion and fights between the two were now everyday affair. One fine day Dharamvir hatched a conspiracy to teach Dhanashri a lesson.
On night of August 14, Dharamvir called Dhanashri and the two agreed to meet. Dharamvir sent his friend and co-accused Pankaj alias Sonu alias Cherry Sadashiv Rautkar (22), a resident of Palloti Nagar, to bring Dhanashri at latter’s room. Pankaj was employed as driver while Dharamvir was pursuing some diploma course. On the night, Dharamvir was drunk and he had a fight with Dhanashri over the same matter. In a fit of anger he strangulated Dhanashri.
Later in a cold blooded manner he with help of Sonu transported the body on Dhanashri’s two wheeler and threw the body by road side in Utthan Nagar, Gorewada Road. The accused duo later stole a truck tyre from Awasthi Nagar and came back to place where they had dumped her body. The accused kept the body on the tyre and set it ablaze after pouring petrol on it. Dhanashri’s scooter was abandoned by Dharamvir in Mominpura.
The main accused of the horrendous Dhanashri murder case, who set her body ablaze after strangulating her, was pronounced capital punished while his friend who helped him was awarded life imprisonment. Additional Sessions Judge K L Vyas, on Thursday, held the accused guilty and considering this to be the rarest of rare Police Inspector Chakshupal Bahadure investigated the case and filed a charge sheet in the court. The court examined 31 witnesses and Additional Sessions Judge K L Vyas on Thursday itself had pronounced the two guilty while quantum of punishment was announced on Friday.
Adv Deepak Kolhe and Adv Satish Soni represented the State while Adv Chandrashekhar Jaltare appeared for the accused.
