DCP spits and assaults accused in custody

By
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...

THE ambitious Crime and Criminal Tracking Network System (CCTNS) is bearing fruits for the Maharashtra Police as all the First Investigation Reports (FIRs) are being registered on-line by the cops. Union and State governments combine have spent Rs 11,569.86 crore for the project in Maharashtra alone and a total of 21,09,585 FIRs have been registered on-line in the State since the launching of CCTNS in September 2015.


National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) has recently issued a CCTNS progress report and highlighted Maharashtra for 100 per cent connectivity of CCTNS in the police stations along with 17 states out of 35 states and union territories. However, technical set-up for the CCTNS is 93 per cent in Maharashtra. The CCTNS facilitates the process of filing complaints and follow-up, which is available at the click of a mouse.
In the year 2015, State police registered 4,23,265 FIRs, followed by 5,09,326 FIRs in year 2016, 4,62,374 FIRs in year 2017, 5,25,293 FIRs in year 2018 and 1,89,327 FIRs in first four months of year 2019. A police officer informed ‘The Hitavada’ that the project brought lot of changes in the functioning of the police force as it fully computerised process of crime registration, investigation and prosecution.
The CCTNS has a central database to provide national-level search facility as well as crime analytics for use by police and central agencies. Hence, inquiry of criminal including past offences can be searched at any police station across the country at a single click. It has also created Integrated Criminal Justice System as crime and criminal related data is being shared with police, courts, prison and forensics laboratories. CCTNS is a complex project with the project activities being undertaken by a number of stakeholders. The officer further informed that CCTNS’ basic aim was to integrate police networks of respective states for enhancing efficiency and efficacy of policing at all levels, especially at police station-level through adoption of principles of e-Governance.
The project was evolved as Mission Mode Project (MMP) under the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) and more than 11,000 police stations and 600 supervisory offices of the state police have been brought under CCTNS loop. The project was rolled out in Uttar Pradesh, Assam and Kerala. After observing IT literacy among Maharashtra Police, the government decided to include Maharashtra State Police under the pilot project.

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...
