Death sentence awarded to duo in Lonara rape-murder case

By
Accused along with police.


By Dheeraj Fartode

A fast-track court on Thursday awarded death sentence to two dreaded criminals after holding them guilty of committing rape and murder of a 19-year old girl at Lonara village of Kalmeshwar taluka in 2005.
District Judge V P Ingle convicted Rakesh Manohar Kamble (31), a resident of Babulkheda, Ajni and Amarshingh Kishansingh Thakur (30), a resident of Bajrang Nagar, Babulkheda and awarded death sentence after finding them guilty of rape and murder of Kanchan Shyamrao Meshram, a resident of Lonara in full public view on wee hours of December 18, 2005. The court also sentenced them to 10 years’ imprisonment for outraging modesty, 10 years’ imprisonment for kidnapping and abducting the girl and five years’ imprisonment for criminal intimidation.
According the prosecution, the accused entered the house of the deceased in Lonara village and tried to abduct her when she was inside her parental home. Fearing for safety, the girl fled from the house to neighbouring house of her uncle. Without caring for any consequences, the duo blinded with sole motive to satisfy their lust, followed her and barged inside the neighbouring house and forcefully abducted her by dishing out threats to her relatives. The accused warned them of dire consequences, if anybody dares to stop them and took out sharp edged weapon to shoo away the crowd. The accused then took the hapless girl to nearby farm and brutally raped her, assaulted her in beastly manner. After satisfying their lust, the pervert accused then murdered the victim stabbing her with sharp edged weapons on various parts of body. Body of the girl was found after four hours of incident in the farm.
Kalmeshwar police had registered the case under sections 302, 376(2)(G), 364, 336 506 212, 216, 120(B), 457 and 34 of Indian Penal Code (IPC) and launched probe into the matter.
The prosecution led by Adv Kalpana Pandey submitted a near water-proof case before the court producing 19 witnesses. The prosecution also submitted medical report, which proved the girl was raped by the accused persons. All the eye witnesses confirmed the shocking incident which had resulted into public outcry in Lonara and stood with prosecution, undeterred by criminal past of the accused persons.
The prosecution described it as rarest of rare case and demanded death penalty for the accused. The prosecution said that the accused had committed heinous crime. The prosecution also proved history of the accused and said that the accused were booked earlier under MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) and involved in various murder and robberies in the area. The accused are threat for society and don’t deserve any leniency and mercy, said the prosecution.
However, defence lawyers said that the accused were not involved in the crime. Adv Dhut was defence lawyer.

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...
