DCP spits and assaults accused in custody

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...

EoW’s ‘D’ Day under scanner

By Dheeraj Fartode

During the proceeding in JMFC court said that in view of provisions of section 26 (A) to 26 (E) of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, the court of JMFC has no jurisdiction to entertain any proceeding under this act, even the remand proceeding. 
This observation of the court have put question mark on homework and study of officials of Economic Offences Wing (EoW) of Crime Branch of city police. Sources said it is surprising that EoW officials and law officer seemed unaware about the constitutional provisions while handling the SCRA matter. Had they not read the law book before cracking down on Dabba traders, the set back in the court could have been avoided. Or it seems EoW officials acted in a haste which enabled the key players to steal the march over police, they claimed. 
Sources further informed that the EoW officials have not yet collected concrete evidence in the case so far.  EoW’s raids against Dabba traders were conducted almost after five months of the complaint lodged with DCP EoW Deepali Masirkar. A section of officers believed that timing of the raid proved to be wrong as many officials were busy in police recruitment drive during the entire process.
The timing of raid on Dabba traders it seems was meant to showcase city police brilliance ahead of programme to include Kamptee police stations within the jurisdiction of Commissionerate. Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and Director General of Police were in Nagpur from Friday night for function of Kamptee police station. 
The accused were produced in the court on Friday and in last few days EoW has not made much progress in unravelling the Dabba traders operation and network as the key accused, Veena Sarda and Ravi Agrawal and eight others are absconding. Similarly, many officials were on leave on Saturday and Sunday. Hence, cops cited same grounds on Monday for extending PCR of the accused.  DCP Masirkar could not be reached for her comment as she was did not respond to calls.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

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

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...
