DCP spits and assaults accused in custody

By Dheeraj Fartode Shocking allegations of misconduct have emerged against a police officer in Nagpur City Police. The officer is accused of abusive and degrading behaviour, particularly targeting accused in Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

Air Marshal Vibhas Pande, Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Maintenance Command was the Chief Guest for the Air Fest.

The Air Fest commenced with fourteen NCC Air Wing cadets demonstrating their skills in aero modeling wherein both remote controlled and control line models were flown in full view of the spectators. The remote controlled aircraft carried out an aerobatic display consisting of loops, rolls and figure of eight whereas, the control line model displayed inverted flying, loops and vertical figure of eight. 





















Thereafter, a Paramotor pilot enthralled the audience in his Paramotor with his aerobatic manoeuvres including a spiral descent from 1,000 feet and a ‘wingover’ at a height of 300 feet. The Dare Devils of “Akashganga” IAF team comprising of six air warriors displayed a breath-taking demonstration of skydiving from a Dornier aircraft from a height of 8,000 feet and landed with precision in the designated landing zone. The leader carried the AF Ensign, which was followed by the second para jumper landing with the Akashganaa flag and the demonstration culminated with three of the team members landing with the Tricolour. This was followed by an Avro aircraft, a medium-size turboprop transport aircraft, flying low at 500 feet above ground level in front of the spectators. Thereafter, a synchronized rifle drill performance by eighteen air warriors of the world renowned Air Warrior Drill Team (AWDT) of IAF left the Nagpurians in a state of awe. The next event was flying demonstration by Sarang, (lit. peacock, the national bird) helicopter air display team of the IAF comprising of four modified Advance Light Helicopters (ALHs) Dhruv. The Sarang team performed some breath-taking manoeuvres like approaching the dais in wine glass formation and then displayed very crisp and elegant India and diamond formations. This was followed by gravity defying Dolphin’s leap which is a three aircraft synchronized stall turn. The aircraft formation, thereafter executed spectacular high speed crosses. Meanwhile, two aircraft painted a white heart in the sky. The last was the signature manoeuvre wherein the Sarang split and the team leader presented an aerial salute to the esteemed guests. The choppers flying just two propellers distance from each other showed superior skills and expertise of the pilots. The No. 5 Air Force Band played martial tunes of ‘Sound Barrier’, ‘Ae watan watan’, ‘Mera Mulk Mera Desh’ etc to connect the public with the IAF so as to instill the fervour of patriotism. 

The performance by the Air Force Band was followed us a scintillating air display by the Surya Kiran Aeroatic Team (SKAT), comprising of nine Hawk Mk. 132 aircraft. The SKAT display included flying in various formations like the diamond formation, Tejas formation, Prachand formation, barbed wire cross and inverted Vic. The perfect crosses and the breathtaking manoeuvres executed by the pilots were definitely a treat to the eyes. 

After the Air Show, static display of aero models, Mi-17 V5 aircraft and various operational equipments was opened up to the audience.

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...

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.
