The court had acquitted all the accused including Ambekar and Kale citing loopholes in the investigation by Kalamna police. 
“Ambekar told Kale that he had spent Rs one crore in Mantralaya to secure their acquittal. Of them, Rs 15 lakh was borrowed from Raju Armarkar at 3 per cent rate of interest. Ambekar was collecting Rs 45,000 per month from Kale as the interest on the Rs 15 lakh,” said police quoting statement of Kale.

The Lakadganj police had booked Ambekar for molesting and raping a woman for more than seven years. Ambekar was already arrested by police for duping a businessman of Rs five crore in a property deal and also issuing threats to him for extortion of Rs one crore. The complaint was lodged against Ambekar by Jigar Pareshbhai Patel, a resident of Kapadvanj, District - Kheda, Gujarat with Sitabuldi police on Saturday accusing Ambekar and his accomplices for duping him of Rs five crore and demanding extortion of Rs one crore.

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.

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...
