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.

Sessions Judge P V Ganediwala on Monday extended the police custody remand of nine Dabba traders by three-days to help prosecution reach to bottom of the case.
The cops today produced accused -- Ramesh Chotelal Patre (33), a resident of 101, Vaishali Nagar; Govind Bhanwarlal Sarda (42), a resident of Canal Road, Ramdaspeth; Kushal Kishor Laddhad (37), a resident of Ramdaspeth; Pritesh Sureshkumar Lakhotia (37), a resident of 201, Shankar Nagar; Ashwin Madhukar Borikar (30), a resident of Durgawati Nagar; Vikas Laxminarayan Kubde (28), a resident of Panchpaoli, Nagpur; Swapnil Vijayrao Parate (24), a resident of Shivaji Nagar; Vijay Chandulal Goklani (34), a resident of Quetta Colony in the court during afternoon hours.
Defence lawyers took strong objections to prosecution argument and claimed JMFC court has no jurisdiction to entertain any proceeding under Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act 1956. The court heard the plea and then forwarded the remand papers to session court immediately.
During arguments, the prosecution demanded five days police custody to decode the transactions available in the seized diaries and computers and money involved in the Dabba trading. However, defence lawyers objected to prosecution saying they have not showed any progress and the grounds for extension of remand are same as mentioned in first application. Therefore, police do not have requirement of custodial interrogation of the accused and all the relevant material is already is with the cops.
After hearing pleas from both sides, the court extended police custody of the accused by three days.
EoW’s team back with hard disks, servers from Mumbai
The EoW’s special team which raided L7 Group’s Mumbai office returned to city with many hard disks and servers. The hard disks would be showed to cyber forensic experts for further investigation. Decoding of these servers and hard disks which are believed to be encrypted by king-pin of the Dabba trade, will be another challenge before EoW sleuths and cyber forensic experts. According to cyber forensic experts, some programmes and softwares have in-built programme to destroy themselves in case they are opened by any other person. However, Maharashtra police has some of the best cyber forensic experts who have cracked even more difficult cases and retrieved the deleted data from a burnt computer and has experience in decoding complicated data from the servers and proxy-servers of the Dabba operators.
