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...

Wasankar troubles multiply as more investors lodge complaints with cops

By

  • The number of aggrieved investors are increasing, as 32 more persons approach Economic Offence Wing of Crime Branch taking total number to 335
  • Total liability of Wasankar now crosses Rs 90 crore mark


By Dheeraj Fartode
Crime Branch is now flooded with complaints on part of investors duped by Prashant Wasankar and his cronies after its Economic Offences Wing (EoW) filed fool proof chargesheeet against the fruadsters. Now 32 more cases were received by cops during a one month period. The total investors duped by Wasankar Wealth Management Ltd. has reached 335 while liability has touched Rs. 90 crores.

With Wasankar failing to get any relief from court, the accused associates are getting panicky and started approaching investors to prevent further complaints reaching the cops. The main plank of Wasankar who is seeking bail is that he has got more deposits that the liability. But in case the liability figure increased then the chances of accused person getting bail might become quite difficult, it is learnt. A few investors told The Hitavada that they have received invitation from erstwhile employees of Wasankar for talks to settle the matter out of court. The investor had receiving a call, where the caller identified himself as association of Wasankar and the latter stated that that they would sing the agreement and then submit it in the court.

However law experts said that this is a ploy by Wasankar to turn the criminal breach of trust case into a civil case. If the case turn into Civil case, then court will take more than 15 years to give decision. A police officer said that the investors must ask Wasankar to submit an undertaking in the court about when he would return the money of gullible investors. This move can benefit the investors as hopes of early return of their investment are more bright.

It may be recalled that cops had filed 4,025-pages chargesheet against Wasankar Wealth Management Ltd and its directors recently under Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (MPID) Act. The chargesheet was filed against three accused -- Chairman of Wasankar Wealth Management Ltd Prashant Jaideo Wasankar; his brother-in-law and Director Abhijit Jayant Choudhary and younger brother and Director Vinay Wasankar. EoW had booked Chairman, Directors, Chief Executive Officer and three employees of Wasankar Wealth Management Ltd. for allegedly duping investors to the tune of crores of rupees on May 9 on the basis of a complaint lodged by well-known builder Vivek Pathak.

On the basis of the complaint, an offence under Sections 420, 406, 506, 120 of the Indian Penal Code read with section 3 of the MPID act was registered against Wasankar. His arrest was a big blow for hundreds of his investors and admirers who viewed him as some sort of financial wizard with a midas touch. Initially, a substantial number of investors mobilised support for Wasankar and termed the complainants as spoilsport but later harsh reality surfaced and many of them quietly filed complaint against Wasankar.

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...
