By
Dabo Club Nagpur The City police have ordered the owners of Dabo Club and Kitchen to shut down the establishment for the next 45 days after a brutal murder outside the club on Wardha Road .

Political pressures delaying transfers of senior cops

By Dheeraj Fartode 

The transfers and promotions of more than 70 senior Police officers in Maharahstra, due on May 31 as per annual calendar, are now likely to take place only in the second week of June, thanks to various factors including the purposeful red-tape that operates in the highest quarters in the Home Department.
‘The Hitavada’ has learnt from reliable sources that the files regarding transfers and promotions have reached the offices of the Home Minister and thence of the Chief Minister and are pending clearance.
Though these highly placed sources refused to reveal the reasons for the delay, ‘The Hitavada’ has learnt reliably that extra-professional considerations have weighed more than administrative ones. Some sources also did not rule out ‘political’ considerations, thanks to pressures from interested parties or persons in high places.
Included in the list of delayed transfers and promotions are 5-6 officers who are slated to be elevated to the rank of Additional Directors General (ADG) of Police; 8-10 officers slated to rise to the positions of Special Inspectors General (SIG) of Police; and about 12 officers waiting for promotions as Deputy Inspectors General (DIG) of Police, it is learnt.
This delay is not a new phenomenon in the State, however. Such delays have taken place on quite a few times in the past some years, highly placed anonymous sources have revealed. Most such delays can be attributed to political pressures. This year’s delay can be attributed to ensuing elections to Maharashtra Legislative Assembly as well as Lok Sabha due next year. ‘The Hitavada’ has learnt that attempts of Police top brass to avoid delays were frustrated by political pressure groups in the past few weeks.

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...
