The two consumed poison on Sunday morning in their 2BHK apartment triggering grief among the residents of area as issue of care of old aged parents have came to fore. Such couples or single parent whose wards have immigrated to USA or other western countries number many in West Nagpur localities.

A maid servant arrived at the home for daily work and knocked on the door. She called  a driver after Mohril couple did not respond to repeated knockings. The driver broke open the door as the two sensed that the elderly couple may have fallen ill. However the sight that greeted them inside the flat left them stunned as two stumbled upon lifeless bodies of Mohrils'. The couple was spralwed on a bed in one of the bedroom. The driver immediately informed police and staff of Rana Pratap Nagar police station rushed to the spot for investigations. 

A senior police officer informed that the couple had consumed poison to commits suicide. The Mohrils were frustrated with deteriorating health, although they were financially sound. The prospect of living alone in case any one of them dies first finally weighed heavily and the two must have entered into suicide pact.

The maid used to come in morning and evening hours to cook food. Mohril's son is settled in USA.  The cops were also unable to contact close relatives of the couple as Mohril had no relatives in the city. The police have informed the son about the death. The police have registered a case of accidental death and started investigations.

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

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.
