We are taking all steps to nab culprits of Mumbai incident and to maintain right atmosphere for women in public place 

By Dheeraj Fartode
Under sharp criticism following a brutal gangrape of a photo-journalist in Mumbai, the Director General of Police (DGP) Sanjeev Dayal on Thursday claimed that Maharashtra is safest place for women. Safety of women is our top priority, he claimed while appealing people not to judge efficiency of force on the basis of only one incident. “Every offence against women are freely registered in the state and such dastardly crime against women will not be tolerated,” he said.

Addressing a press conference at Police Gymkhana, the DGP said that Mumbai police have arrested accused in Mumbai gang-rape case. “Cops are on toes about every matter related to sexual assault against women after Delhi gang-rape case.” He refused to share further details about Mumbai gang-rape case. He appealed society to pay respect towards women and adhere to value system wherein every women is respected. “Our education system should create gender-sensitisation and dissuade people from showing any disrespect for women,” he said.

Talking about murder of anti-superstition crusader Dr Narendra Dabholkar, the top cop said that cops are investigating the case and he will review the progress on Saturday during his Pune visit. Dabholkar had refused security cover, he informed while paying tributes to rationalist thinker.

Talking about installation of CCTV in Mumbai and Pune cities, DGP Dayal said “a committee headed by Chief Secretary has been constituted in this regard and Chief minister Prithiviraj Chavan has cleared the decision to purchase CCTV from Government company.”

When asked about failure of local intelligence in Dabholkar murder case, he replied that government is trying to include intelligence system in standard operating system (SOP).

Answering a question about mobile phones found with prisoners in Central Jail Nagpur, the DGP said that prison is independent department of state and he is not the right authority to comment. Commissioner of Police K K Pathak, Joint Commissioner of Police Sanjay Saxena, Special Inspector General of Police Rajender Kumar were present at the press conference.

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

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.
