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...
A 20-YEAR-OLD man, who has been previously booked in cases of attempt to murder, robbery and dacoity, has been has been put under a preventive detention, under the Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities (MPDA) of Slumlords Bootleggers and Drug Offenders Act, by City Police on Tuesday.
The accused has been identified as Lakhan alias Rohan Shailesh Dhuria (20), a resident of Ganesh Chowk, near Haj House, is a habitual offender. An official said Dhuria has been booked in several cases in Tehsil, Kotwali and Ganeshpeth areas.
Dhuria has been named in seven cases filed in various police stations across Nagpur City. He has been put under detention at Central Jail Nagpur, after an application to this effect was sent by Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Zone III Rahul Maknikar. Commissioner of Police Dr. B K Upadhyaya approved the application on Tuesday.
A press release issued by the city police stated, “Despite earlier preventive measures taken against Dhuria, his criminal activities did not stop. He had created a climate of fear in the area, due to which people would not come forward to complain against him. The action under the MPDA has been taken to restore stability and order in the areas.”
The City Police has adopted a policy to apply measures under acts like the MPDA and the MCOCA against habitual offenders, who evade the regular laws by taking advantage of the loopholes. As per the release, in the last 12 months, police have taken actions against 37 criminals under such acts. Dhuria and few others had recently attacked a restaurent owner in Wathoda area in Nandanvan when he was under externemnt order.
