City police undertake special drive to trace 3,600 absconders

By

Tackling street crime is now top most priority in urban places for police force as such incidents immediately get highlighted and have possible effect on law and order situation. As Nagpur city too is witnessing the same trend, the city police has undertaken combing operations to arrest about 3,600 absconders.
A majority of these offenders, the police statistics reveal, are involved in body offences. A special drive is launched to nab these criminals and the police have succeeded in arresting 25 absconders on the very first day of the drive.
Commissioner of Police (CP) Amitesh Kumar informed ‘The Hitavada’, “With passage of time these offenders get emboldened and hence its necessary to nab and neutralise future threats.” Similarly with passage of time if we forget these absconders their number only increases. Thus, such special drives enable to arrest as many criminals as possible and try them in court of law. The police have made a list of accused who are absconding or wanted since 1985.  A special meeting of top rank officials was chaired by the CP in which the matter was discussed. An action plan was finalised to nab these criminals. Lists were made according to residential addresses of the accused persons.
The city police chief further said that in-charge of all police stations have been directed to take on these criminals and put them behind the bars in the next fifteen days. Special rewards will also be given to the policemen for arresting the maximum number of absconders, the CP added. Of these 25 criminals arrested on Wednesday, four are absconders while 21 are wanted accused. An accused absconding in dacoity case of 1987 was arrested during the drive on Wednesday. The police have been instructed to focus on those who booked in serious cases.
As per the rule, absconders are those  -- if the Court believes that any person against whom a warrant has been issued by it has absconded to avoid the execution of warrant, the Court may publish a written proclamation for his appearance. The accused persons who jump bail, parole or furlough are also declared as absconders by the Court. If the police filed a chargesheet in the case and the accused has avoided arrest, then such a person is known as a wanted accused.

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 also ha
