Deposit ‘Muddemal’ with court, CJM to cops

By

Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) has issued a notice to City Police and Rural Police to deposit recovered property, including gold and silver ornaments and cash, with the court within 10-days of its seizure. The order of CJM came after observing that recovered valuables were being stolen from police stations and currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 were not replaced with new notes during demonetization period. The court also observed that the cops were depositing seized cash in the private bank accounts which is the violation of Treasury Rules. 
CJM Ratnakar Salgaonkar given seven-point agenda for the police department and ordered them to follow it in letter and spirit. Referring to its observation, the circular said, “In all under investigation, chargesheet filed cases, the police should deposit recovered cash with the court before April 30, 2019. In future, the police will have to deposit all the recovered valuables with the court within 10-days of its seizure.” The currency notes which have been mentioned in the panchanama and expected to be used as evidence in the case should also be deposited with Muddemal clerk. 
As per the CJM’s order, the police will have to take certificate of jeweler for seized gold and silver ornaments and attach it with the investigation documents. This would put check on the embezzlement of seized ornaments. Earlier, the police were mentioning names of seized ornaments as ‘Pivala Dhaatu’ (Yellow metal) and ‘Pandhara Dhaatu’ (White metal) only. This practice had given free hand to police and many allegations were surfaced against the police by the victims.  
The CJM further ordered Assistant Superintendent and Nazar of Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC), CJM and Additional CJM to deposit the cash in the banks in fixed deposit with auto renewal facility. In case court orders to deposit the cash with the Government, then said FD can be terminated at any time action under the cash deposit rules and it can be transferred.”
All the JMFC and Additional CJM have been ordered to take review of the system on first day of every month. No senior police officer from City Police was available for the comment on the order.

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...
