Masked youths open fire at Ind candidate’s jeep at Kondhali

By
By Dheeraj Fartode
Sensation prevailed in Kondhali and nearby areas on Tuesday when four masked persons opened fire at an Independent candidate Pramod Chafle at Kondhali. Chafle escaped unhurt in the attack but the windshield of Bolero jeep, which he was travelling in, was damaged. 
The windshield of Bolero jeep, which Pramod Chafle
(inset) was travelling in, was damaged by the bullet
fired by the accused near Shekapur on Tuesday. 
Chafle had filed nomination papers as BJP candidate and also as an Independent candidate from Katol constituency of Legislative Assembly. His nomination as BJP candidate was rejected as the party had not authorised him. He is still an Independent candidate, and Wednesday is the last day for withdrawal of candidature. 

Pramod is son of former Chairman of Panchayat Samiti and local BJP leader Sheshrao Chafle. On Tuesday afternoon, Pramod was heading towards Shekapur village in the jeep alone. Another Bolero jeep chased him and overtook his car twice. As Pramod’s jeep was passing through jungle area, two masked youths came on a Pulsar motorcycle and opened fire at the jeep. The lone bullet fired at him pierced through the windscreen of Bolero jeep (MH-23/E-7212). 

Shocked by the attack, Chafle stopped the car on the spot. The accused approached Chafle and pointed the gun at him. As Chafle shook his hands violently, the gun slipped from the hands of the attackers and the accused fled from the spot. According to Chafle, he was heading towards Kalmunda from where he was to proceed to Katol with his supporters. 

After the attack, Chafle immediately informed the police and his parents. Sub-Divisional Police Officer (Katol) Ishwar Katgade, Police Inspector (Nagpur Rural Crime Branch) J S Bhandarkar, and PI (Kondhali) Pradip Lambat rushed to the spot and launched investigations. 

Chafle alleged political conspiracy behind the attack on him. Kondhali Police registered the case and started investigations. PI Lambat said that the cops had conducted spot panchnama and further investigations were under way.

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...
