Laxmi Bar murder : Ajni police fails to make headway after nine days

By

  • DB squad of Ajni Police Station under fire for shoddy investigation style 

By Dheeraj Fartode
Investigation skills of Ajni police are under scanner as they have failed to trace the accused involved in murder of Vinaychandra Ganvir alias Pappu. Nine days have passed after Ganvir was stabbed to death outside notorious Laxmi Bar at Medical Square on March 11. But till date the police have failed to make any headway in the investigations. 
The cops claimed to have interrogated more than forty to sixty history-sheeters known to have base in the area but still concrete lead eludes them. Sources informed that the four accused in the murder case were captured in the CCTV footage and pictures of two of them were clear but still Detection Branch (DB) squad could not pinpoint the accused persons. The pictures have been circulated throughout the city police jurisdiction but no one could identity the two youth seen stabbing Ganvir.
Sources further informed that DB squad of Ajni police station were casual in their approach during the crucial initial phase of investigation. The cops as usual assumed old rivalry angle and were confident about detection of the case. Captured CCTV footage had added to morale of DB squad. Now, this confidence of DB members have evaporated and open and shut case is now giving headache to senior officers.
It can be also mentioned that Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP Zone IV) Ishu Sindhu was on leave when the murder took place. He resumed office on March 13 but till that time, important links faded due to shoddy investigations. 
A senior police officer informed that Ajni police station lacks depth to investigate crimes which are out of box. The DB Squad is either not willing to go extra mile to investigate the cases or simply not at all bothered due to lack of supervision over them. In past one year, the police station had not done anything extra to attract limelight. A murder of elderly woman was murdered in Narendra Nagar by robbers in day light on July 2014. The case is still remains a mystery as police failed to trace the accused due to negligence from senior officials, who seems to have simple closed the case.
Police Inspector Sandipan Pawar said, we are investigating the Ganvir murder case from all possible angles.” “We have interrogated more than 100 persons including history sheeter goons and friends of Ganvir,” PI Pawar further disclosed. 

Statistic also prove inefficiency of Ajni Police

Statistic from Crime Branch also proved Ajni Police’s inefficiency in the detection. In year 2015 and 2014, six and 12 chain snatching were reported in the Ajni area. However the cops have detected merely three cases in 2015 and seven in 2014. Only seven out of reported 10 robbery cases in year 2014 were detected by the police. 
In house-breaking cases too, the Ajni police continue with poor performance. In year 2014, 79 HBTs were reported and cops have only detected 15. Similarly, the cops have detected only 19 HBTs out of reported 60 HBTs in 2015. In motor vehicle thefts, the cops have only detected 11 cases out 66 in year 2014 and 11 cases out of reported 48 in year 2015.

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...
