JeM terrorist was preparing for ‘fidayeen’ attack at RSS HQ

By
RSS HQ 

THE Pakistan-based handlers of the recently arrested Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist in Jammu & Kashmir were preparing him to carry out ‘fidayeen’ attack at headquarters of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in Mahal. Before getting the final assignment, the youth was sent to Nagpur to conduct reconnaissance of RSS headquarters and Dr. Hedgewar Smriti Bhavan in Reshimbagh to get familiar with it and around areas, a police official privy to the investigation said.
According to information gathered from the arrested terrorist, a person named Omar, who is operational commander of JeM’s Nawabpur (Pakistan)-based terrorist launching pad, was the handler of Raees Ahmed Sheikh Asadulla Sheikh.
Sources said that Raees came to Nagpur by a Delhi-Mumbai-Nagpur flight on July 13 and checked into a hotel in Sitabuldi area. On July 14, Raees took an autorickshaw and reached Badkas Chowk with the help of Google Map. His target was to conduct recce of six lanes connecting the RSS headquarters. However, after observing police patrolling and a huge number of cops deployed for security, he did not dare to enter the lanes.
Later, Raees went near Smruti Mandir where he shot a video of CRPF camp and policemen deployed on the gate. He shared the video to Omar on WhatsApp. The video was not clear as it was taken from a long distance. Omar, in the WhatsApp chat, pressured Raees to take more videos. However, Raees panicked and told Omar that his data balance was over and switched off the phone. Soon after, he returned to the hotel and visited a Masjid where a Maulana gave him a ‘Tabij’. On July 15, Raees returned to Srinagar by a Nagpur-Delhi-Srinagar flight, the official said.
The official further said that Raees (26), a resident of Khati Mohalla, Chandara, Awantipora town of Pulwama district in J&K, was technically sound in electrical work. After getting him recruited in Jaish-e-Mohammad, Omar was sure to engage him in ‘fidayeen’ attack.
Commissioner of Police (CP) Amitesh Kumar said that Raees was interrogated by the team of Crime Branch led by DCP Detection Chinmay Pandit in Kashmir and the video was also recovered from his mobile phone.
After getting concrete evidence from J&K Police and Intelligence agencies in this regard, a case under relevant sections of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act has been registered against Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) at Kotwali Police Station.
City police have also tightened security in and around the RSS headquarters and Smriti Mandir. Alert has been sounded in the department to dig out more information about movement of the terrorist during his stay 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 als...

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

By
CONSTRUCTION work of 700-metre-long cable-stayed bridge, longest in the country, with a viewing gallery at the top at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil is near completion. The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. 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. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is...
