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...

By Dheeraj Fartode
Senior Human Rights Activist Prof Hargopal on Saturday met Delhi University’s arrested Professor G N Saibaba for his alleged Maoist links at Central Jail and demanded immediate bail to him citing his health condition. “Saibaba is 90% disabled and there are no facilities in the jail for disabled persons.

Addressing a press conference at Tilak Patrakar Bhavan, Prof Hargopal said that he met Saibaba in the jail and discussed his problems. His health is deteriorating and needs super specialty treatment, said Prof Hargopal. “According to law every disabled jail inmate should get proper facilities. However, there is no facility for Saibaba, whose life depends on wheel chair,” Hargopal informed. The under-trial is being treated as a prisoner, which is causing injustice to him”, said Prof Hargopal. 
“If the offence is not proved in the court then the punishment -- which is Saibaba getting right now in the jail -- will become punishment to an innocent person, which is against the law” Prof Hargopal stated. Getting bail is the right of an individual, Prof Hargopal has sought government’s intervene in the matter. The trials should be expedited in the case. 
Police have put many innocent tribals of Sironcha and Aheri area of Gadchiroli district in Nagpur Central Jail, he alleged. For the past several years no one paying attention to their problems. “How can a government lodge any innocent citizen in the jail for years together,” he remarked. Demanding withdrawal of Prevention of Unlawful Activities Act, under which Saibaba has been arrested, Prof Hargopal called it a ‘draconian law’.  Naxalism is the social problem and government should work out a proper method to resolve it, he said. Shoma Sena was present at the press conference.

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...
