DCP spits and assaults accused in custody

By
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. However, instead of handling the matter professionally, the officer allegedly made the man sit down, then kicked him in the private parts and leave him in pain and humiliation. The behaviour of the high ranked official have raised questions about the professionalism of law enforcemen...

‘Passage of Anti Black Magic Bill, real tribute to Dr Dabholkar’

By
Mukta Dabholkar at Vidhan Bhavan premises on Friday. 

Dr Narendra Dabholkar’s daughter Mukta says that passage of the Bill will strengthen anti-superstition movement in Maharashtra 

Mukta Dabholkar, daughter of murdered rationalist Dr Narendra Dabholkar, expressed gratitude towards Maharashtra Government for clearing Anti Black Magic Bill and said that it would strengthen anti-superstition movement in the State.

“The Bill, which was pending for 18 years has been passed. It is real tribute to Dr Narendra Dabholkar,” said Mukta. Talking to reporters in Vidhan Bhavan premises after passage of the Bill by Legislative Assembly on Friday, Mukta said that the Opposition had given many recommendations and she respected that right. The Bill would put check on ‘Aghori’ and inhuman practices in the State.
Asked about the amendments in the Bill, Mukta replied that she was unaware of them and would speak after detailed study. Replying to query about opposition from Warakaris to the Bill, she said that activists of Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti (MANS) discussed the issue of ‘Aghori’ and inhuman practices with them. “Warkaris are supporting us and they too oppose ‘Aghori’ and inhuman practices as Sant Tukaram and other social reformers already preached not to follow inhuman traditions,” she said. “We respect individual freedom,” she added.
“There is a thin line between faith and superstition. But, we oppose evil practices and exploitation in the name of God and religion,” Mukta observed. She hoped that Legislative Council also would pass the Bill and all parties would support the cause.
Expressing disappointment over investigation into murder of Dr Narendra Dabholkar, she said, “We are pained that the Government has not arrested murderers even after passage of four months.” The society suffered a great damage and paid a heavy price due to killing of Dr Dabholkar. State lost a personality who firmly believed in welfare of masses, especially those living in rural areas. Society should back persons working for betterment of the society, she said.
Senior activist of MANS Avinash Patil also welcomed State Government for passing the Bill.

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...
