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.

THOUSANDS of police personnel would not be able to vote in the Assembly elections as they failed to file form no. 12 mandatory for casting postal ballot, thanks to senior police officers in Nagpur Police who failed to convey the last date of filing to the constabulary staff.
More than 5,000 policemen would be deployed for election duties at polling booths and management of sensitive areas, a top rank officer said. However, only a few have managed to file the Form No. 12, it has been learnt.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Welfare, Vinay Marathe informed ‘The Hitavada’ that as many as 1,558 police personnel have filed form required for casting postal ballot. “A police officer at every police station was designated as nodal officer and forms were given to him on October 10. His duty was to distribute the forms to police personnel at police station and submit it on October 16 for further action,” he said.
“We have received 1,558 forms. Remaining constabulary force can caste their vote at election booths as all are living in the city,” the ACP said. Whether it would be possible during the bandobast is everybody’s guess.
Expert on the issue stated that as just 1,558 (31.16 per cent) policemen out of 5,000 strong force have filed the forms, remaining 3.442 (68.84 per cent) would not be able to vote. “Election duty is one of the most sensitive duties for government employees. If one is not found at the duty spot, one faces brunt from senior rank officials,” he said adding that no policeman could dare to go out while on-duty.
Sources informed that this happened due to lack of coordination on part of police station-level officers and nodal officers.
