By


Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday conducted searches at Nagpur Institute Of Technology (NIT) college at Mahurzari, near Fetri in Katol Tehsil in connection with its probe against former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. Statements of five persons were also recorded by the investigation agency in its Seminary hills office, officials said.
The college is said to be controlled by Deshmukh. ED officials from Mumbai reached the institute around 12.30 pm and began the searches under the protection of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel, the official said. Staff of Local police station was also deployed near the college. The searches concluded at 3.30 pm, he added. Some documents have been seized by the officials for further investigation, it was learnt.
It may be mentioned here that the ED is conducting a probe into the money laundering case related to an alleged multi-crore bribery-cum-extortion racket that led to Deshmukh’s resignation from the post of home minister in April this year. Deshmukh’s personal secretary Sanjeev Palande (51) and personal assistant Kundan Shinde (45) were arrested by the agency. However, Deshmukh has not yet appeared before the agency.
The Central agency had registered a case against Deshmukh on May 11 following an FIR registered by CBI in alleged money laundering case. Former Mumbai Police Commissioner Parambir Singh had alleged corruption charges against Deshmukh in a letter written to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. Singh, in his letter, had alleged that Deshmukh had asked suspended API of Mumbai Police Sachin Waze to collect Rs 100 crore per month.
On May 24, the CBI had conducted searches at Deshmukh’s residence in Nagpur. Later, the ED team conducted searches on May 25 Sagar Bhatewara’s house in Shivaji Nagar, Sameer Isaac’s house in Sadar and Jafri brothers’ house in Jafar Nagar, in Nagpur city, they said. On June 16, the ED officials conducted searches at coal trader Dharampal Agarwal, CAs Bhavik Panjwani and Sudhir Baheti in Nagpur. These May 25 and June 16 searches by ED teams were connected to Deshmukh. On June 26, ED had conducted searches at Deshmukh’s Civil Lines residence in Nagpur.

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 also ha

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.

However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is
