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...

AS MANY as 292 police personnel, including 67 belonging to the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and 41 from Border Security Force (BSF), have laid down their lives in the line of duty in last one year, Deputy Director of Intelligence Bureau (IB) Badri Narayan said in a letter issued to Heads of State Police Force and Central Forces.
The IB has issued a list of police personnel who laid their lives in the line of duty. According to the list, 292 police personnel were killed while performing various duties across the country from September 1, 2018 to August 30, 2019. As per the data released up to August 31, 2019, more than 35,136 police personnel have made supreme sacrifice in service of the nation.
Among these police personnel, 67 belonged to the CRPF, 41 to the BSF, 23 were from the Indo Tibet Border Police (ITBP), 24 from the Jammu and Kashmir Police, 20 belonged to Maharashtra police, 14 from Chhhattisgarh, 12 from Karnataka police, 11 belonged to Railway Protection Force, 10 each from Delhi and Rajasthan police, seven from Bihar police, six of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), five each belonged to Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), Jharkhand police and Uttarakhand police, four jawans of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), three each belonged to Assam Rifles and Arunachal Pradesh police, three from Haryana police, two each from Andhra Pradesh Police, Madhya Pradesh police and Manipur police, and one each from Himachal Pradesh police, Sikkim police, Tripura polic and Uttarakhand police.
A senior police official said that majority of the CRPF, BSF and ITBP jawans died while dealing with cross-border firing from Pakistan, fighting militancy in Jammu and Kashmir, Naxals and other law and order duties. The dastardly attack on CRPF convoy by Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist claimed 44 lives in February.
In Maharashtra 20 police personnel were killed on-duty in a year. Of them, 17 were killed in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra including 15 police personnel were ambushed and killed in a landmine blast triggered by the Naxalites in Gadchroli on May 1, 2019 and PSI Chhatrapati Chide was killed by liquor mafia in Chandrapur district.
The list was issued by IB for Police Commemoration Day that would be observed on October 21 to commemorate the sacrifices of the 10 policemen while defending India’s borders with China in 1959.
Indian police personnel were responsible for manning the 2,500 mile-long border of India with Tibet until the autumn of 1959. On October 20, 1959, three reconnaissance parties were launched from Hot Springs in North Eastern Ladakh in preparation for further movement of an Indian expedition which was on its way to Lanak La.
Chinese troops opened fire and threw grenades at a party of 20 police personnel. Ten were killed in the incident, which left seven others injured, who were later taken as prisoners. Three weeks later, China returned the bodies of the ten personnel which were later cremated with full police honours at Hot Springs in North Eastern Ladakh.
A memorial was erected at Hot Springs and members of Police Forces from different parts of the country trek to Hot Springs to pay homage to the martyrs. Since the year 2012, the Police Commemoration Day Parade is being held at the National level at the Police Memorial, Chanakyapuri.

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...
