Nagpur CP Amitesh Kumar

The Nagpur city ranked sixth in crime rate among the 19 metropolitan cities of India and first in the State last year, revealed by the Crime in India 2021 report published by National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).As per the NCRB, the police stations in Nagpur Police Commissionerate registered 13,312 cases under different Sections of Indian Penal Code (IPC), at the rate of 532.9 per lakh population of Nagpur in 2021. Amitesh Kumar was the Commissioner of Police of Nagpur in 2021. While Mumbai city recorded 63,689 IPC crimes with crime rate of 345.9, Pune recorded 9,511 IPC crimes with crime rate of 188.3.
The statistics is a commentary on the law and order situation in the city, where frustration among the populace about lack of adequate opportunities seems to play a major role in youth taking to crime to further their dreams. The crime rate describes the number of crimes reported to law enforcement agencies per lakh population.
A crime rate is calculated by dividing the number of reported crimes by the total population; the result is multiplied by one lakh. The NCRB considered the population of the 19 metropolitan cities as per the 2011 Census data. According to the report, the population of Nagpur in 2011 was 25 lakh.
Most shocking fact is - After Delhi (71.4) and Patna (73.2), Indore (59.6), Nagpur is ranked fourth in the country based on the rate of violent crime reported by NCRB and again tops the list in Maharashtra. The rate of violent crime in Pune was 37.6 while 26.8 was recorded in Mumbai in the same period.
The violent crime cases are showing an upward trend in Nagpur. In 2021, the City police registered 1,409 violent crime cases while the city saw 1,228 and 1,361 cases in 2020 and 2019 respectively. The violent crime cases includes severe body offences -- Murder, Attempt to murder, Dowry deaths, Foeticide, Infanticide, Culpable homicide not amounting to murder, grievous hurts,
In 2021, Nagpur reported a whopping 95 murders and 119 attempt to murders, followed by six cases of culpable homicide not amounting to murder and three cases of grievous hurt.
The number of murder cases in Nagpur is lesser than Pune, which has recorded 100 murders, and Mumbai with 162. But murder rate of Nagpur (3.8) is much greater than Mumbai (0.9) and Pune (2.0) as population base of latter two cities is much bigger compared to city.

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...
