HAPPY ZERO: City registers no murders in February

By

FOR the first time in living memory, not a single murder case was reported in Nagpur city for the entire February month. For a city, criticised as the ‘crime capital’ of Maharashtra for high number of violent crimes just a few years ago, the development has come has a big booster in its image building. Commissioner of Police (CP) Amitesh Kumar attributed the success to the hard work of police personnel. “Identifying criminals and targeting them with preventive action, intensified patrolling, total closure of illegal activities, continuous checking of criminals on record are some of the efforts that have borne fruits,” he said. The result was the impact of the continuous deterrent policing over the years, Kumar added.

 
Though February month reported zero murder cases, the impact of crime prevention tactics was evident from December last year. As per statistics, Nagpur city witnesses six to seven murders every month. However, drop in murder cases was observed from December 2021 (five murders) and January 2022 (four murders). The average murder cases reported in February month were 6.6 -- as per the statistics of last five years. The city police bosses used preventive action as the most potent weapon to crush the gangland. Whopping 9,964 criminals were booked under preventive action. As many as 63 dreaded goons were bundled into jails under MPDA last year. The number was three times more than MPDA cases registered in 2020 (20 cases). Similarly, seven gangs were booked under MCOCA last year.

Broke the ‘comfort level’ of criminals: CP “AFTER taking reins of the police commissionerate, I had observed that the criminals were having comfortable relations with the police. A visit of the police team was not making any psychological impact on the criminals,” said CP Amitesh Kumar. Such ‘comfort level’ of criminals with the police emboldened them for criminal activities without the fear of law. The painstaking efforts of police personnel helped us to instill the fear of law among anti-socials, the top cop added.

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...
