”I have directed police station to register every case and give justice to common man,” said CP K K Pathak

By Dheeraj Fartode
While Nagpur expanding in haphazard manner giving a tough time for police machinery to exercise control, a more worrying factor for citizens must be the fall in rate of detection. The non regulated residential growth is making it more difficult for cops to keep tab on illegal activities in its jurisdiction. But this is just an excuse because even city police machinery is not making use of latest techniques to tackle the street crime.
Detection rate is directly correlated to efficient policing. During last year there was a dip of about 2 % in detection rate which should ring alarm bells in the police department. During year 2013 city police recorded detection rate of 55 % which however was lower as compared to year 2012, that time it was 57 % and worst if compared with year 2011, it was 60 % that time.
The police however have proved their mettle in cracking serious crime cases wherein it's efficiency is reflected in numbers. Like, in cases of murder, attempt to murder, dacoity, preparation of dacoity, extortion, cheating, riots, hurts, kidnapping, rape, molestation, culpable homicide not amounting to murder, cruelty by in-laws and other IPC crimes the rate of detection hover between 70% and 100%. This statistics do offer some solace as this indicates police do know where to focus their energy. 
The police have recorded 95% detection rate in murder, 100% in attempt to murder which was 99% and 96 % respectively in year 2012; 99 % and 100 % in year 2011. This means, detection rate in above cases has fallen by 4 % in murder cases. 
Detection rate in chain snatching cases increased in 2013 and reached to 42 %, which is big jump as in previous years it was 25% in 2012 and 34% in 2011. However city police needs to focus on property crimes as the detection rate is very low.
Commissioner of Police K K Pathak said that every FIR is registered in the city. “I have directed police station to register every case and give justice to common man.” The fall in detection rate is a cause of concern and city police will try to improve it in future, he said. 

Rising thefts case in city 

As per the data, police have registered tremendous rise in thefts cases especially House breaking thefts (HBT). In 2013, total 2760 theft cases were reported in city which was 2339 in year 2012 and 2286 in year 2011. The HBTs were 672 in year 2011, which increased upto 841 in year 2012 and further to 1110 in year 2013. As against this jump in registration, the detection rate however has seen a reverse trend. Detection rate decline in theft cases to 28% in 2011. It fell  by 2 % in year 2012 and again down by 4 % in 2013 and reached to 23 %. The city police force detected as many 642 theft cases against 2760 cases registered during the year.

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...
