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...
Supporters of MLA Ravi Rana agitation at building on Wednesday. |
- Cops shoo away unruly protestors who climbed atop a building to hog limelight
By Dheeraj Fartode
Demanding statehood to Vidarbha, supporters of independent MLA Ravi Rana climbed atop a building situated right opposite Vidhan Bhavan and threatened to jump, after Rana was suspended on Wednesday for a day from Assembly for his unruly behaviour. However, city police nabbed the agitators well in time and foiled their attempt to hog the limelight.
Earlier, MLA Rana and his supporters protested at stair case of Vidhan Bhavan at 10.30 am and shouted slogans demanding separate Vidarbha state and immediate relief to farmers. Ususally, the sitting legislators and in exceptional cases former legislators are allowed sit-in at stair-case, but rank outsiders are not allowed to use this privilage.
Adopting tough stance, Marshals of the Vidhan Bhavan forced Rana’s supporters to leave the spot. During the proceeding of the Vidhan Bhavan, MLA Rana entered legislative assembly with posters and with a cap with written words Jai Vidarbha.
Speaker Dilip Walse Patil asked Rana to remove posters and maintain decorum. When his repeated pleas failed to have desired effect, he warned Rana of suspension and later suspended him for one day. Talking with mediapersons, Rana said that the state government is doing injustice with farmers of the Vidarbha. Around 200 farmers of Amravati District have committed suicide this year, he said. Government should announce immediate relief to heavy rain affected farmers, he demanded.
Supporters of MLA Rana then climbed atop a building situated at opposite side of Vidhan Bhavan at 11.30 am and started sloganeering for statehood to Vidarbha. Some agitators also stood on parapet wall of the building. Staff of city police rushed to the spot and managed to pacify the agitators. Cops have arrested MLA Rana and agitators including Shailendra Kasture, Dipak Jaltare, Mangesh Kokate, Aminoddin, Bandu Jadhav, Dhiran Kene, Milind Waghade, Rahim Khan, Jitu Dhudhane and others.

As soon as question hour started on Wednesday morning, Independent MLA from Badnera (Amravati District) Ravikumar Rana, who had tied up banner demanding separate Vidarbha State, got up from his seat. Speaker Dilip Walse-Patil ticked off Rana saying this is not as per the decorum of the House and asked him to take his seat. But disregarding Chair’s directive, Rana suddenly stepped forward into the well of the Assembly and started shouting pro-Vidarbha slogans in front of Speaker. The Speaker again asked Rana to occupy his seat but finally the MLA was suspended for one day. When Rana refused to leave, Walse-Patil repeatedly asked him to go out but he was not moving. Finally Speaker ordered Marshalls to physically evict Rana from the house.
