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...
CONCERNED by the regular breach of rules laid down by the administration to contain the spread of coronavirus in the city, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Zone II Vinita Sahu cracked a whip against the violators and conducted surprise checking at market places and shops on Tuesday night. Many shops were slapped with fines for not following lockdown guidelines issued by Nagpur Municipal Corporation and State Government.
As per the guidelines issued by NMC and State Government for the Unlock phase, all shops should close by 7 pm barring essential services. However, many shop owners are taking the guidelines casually and indulging in running their businesses late in the night. People are also least bothered about the safety measures and visit these shops without following rules of wearing face mask and maintaining social distance.
Acting on a tip-off, DCP Sahu launched the operation from Ambazari area and visited market places in Gokulpeth, Ram Nagar, Laxmi Bhuvan square. She also conducted inspection at Ramdaspeth, Mangalwari Bazar, Sitabuldi, Mankapur and Gittikhadan areas. NMC’s team was also called for issuing fine to the rule violators.
During the inspection, many shops were found flouting lockdown rules. The shops were open after 7 pm keeping social distancing norm aside.
The police also used Public Address (PA) system to sensitise people about rules announced by the NMC. Despite clear guidelines about health safety, some ‘smart’ citizens started arguing with the police over the action. The cops made them aware of the dangers of not following social distancing and wearing masks.
DCP Sahu told ‘The Hitavada’ that the inspection was the warning for lockdown violators. “Every shopkeeper must follow the norms and close their shops by 7 pm,” she said and warned of stern action for violation of rules. She also urged the people to cooperate with police and stop visiting shops after 7 pm.
“The rules are introduced only for the safety of the citizens and it is mandatory for people to follow it,” DCP Sahu appealed.
