Bicycle thefts : Cops detects only 189 bicycles out of stolen 1138

By

About 1138 bicycles were stolen/missing from the city during the last six years. However cops have traced merely 189 bicycles with overall 16.60 per cent detection. It means that accused in 949 bicycle theft cases are roaming free in city without any fear of the long arms of law.

A RTI query filed reveals that some of the police stations areas are notorious for bi-cycle thefts. It has also reveals “approach” of police teams in detection or tracing these missing bi-cycles. 

In year 2010, 27 bi-cycle thefts were reported in the city and cops successfully detected 20 with detection rate of 74.04 per cent. However, when it comes to bi-cycle missing cases, the same police gone looks “helpless” in the investigations. Total 125 bi-cycle missing cases were reported in Nagpur and cops have detected mere five bi-cycles with detection rate of only four per cent. 

This is not the statistics for a particular year only. The same pattern of registration of theft, missing, detection was repeated in the city over successive years. In all six years, total 174 bicycles were stolen from city and cops have detected 89 by recording detection rate of 51.14 per cent. In missing cases, detection rate of Nagpur police is merely 10.99 per cent as cops have recovered only 106 bicycles out of missing 964 bi-cycles. 

Missing cases are 81.95 per cent higher than the bi-cycle thefts. In contrast, detection rate in missing cases is less then 40.15 per cent. This proves “different” investigation approach of police department. They are least bothered about investigation in missing cases. 

Bi-cycle missing cases are reported in “few” police stations. However at many police stations not a single missing case was recorded over the years. In year 2010, Rana Pratap Nagar police have registered 69 missing cases, followed by 17 in Lakadganj, 12 in Ajni, 11 in Kotwali, five in Tehsil, four each in Sitabuldi and Imambada and three in Nandanvan Police Station. Not a single bi-cycle however went missing in Ambazari, Sonegaon, Pachpaoli, Ganeshpeth, Yashodhara Nagar, Dhantoli and Hudkeshwar where bi-cycle thefts took place and FIR were lodged. In fact, a pattern is that if the complainant has cash bill about purchase of bi-cycle the police promptly registers the case of theft. But in maximum cases, people do not keep copy of the bi-cycle purchase and hence when one visits the police station the cops merely records the theft as missing.

In year 2012, 29 bicycles went missing in Kotwali, 16 in Ajni, 12 in Sitabuldi, 11 in Lakadganj, seven in Rana Pratap Nagar, six in Tehsil, five in Sonegaon, three in Nandanvan and one in Imambada area. 14 police stations have not reported a single bicycle missing cases. These police stations are -- Ambazari, MIDC, Wadi, Sadar, Gittikhadan, Pachpaoli, Jaripatka, Koradi, Ganeshpeth, Kalamna, Yashodhara Nagar, Dhantoli, Sakkardara and Hudkeshwar police stations. Out of these fourteen police stations, bicycle thefts were reported in eighth police stations.

Statistics of year 2015 revealed that maximum 64 bi-cycle missing cases reported in Sakkardara area followed by 27 in Dhantoli, 26 in Kotwali, 25 in Hudkeshwar, 19 in Sitabuldi, 11 in Tehsil, nine each in Sadar and Mankapur, six each in Imambada and Lakadganj, five in Nandanvan, four in Ajni, two each in Pratap Nagar and Yashodhara Nagar, and one each in Sonegaon, Ganeshpeth and Kalamna.

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...
