CP Amitesh Kumar

Commissioner of Police (CP) Amitesh Kumar had always been a man of action, and his tenure in Nagpur was no exception. Over the course of three years, he had brought a remarkable transformation to the city’s law enforcement. The Monday morning after his third anniversary in office found him sitting behind his desk, a rare moment of relaxation for the hardworking officer.His three-year tenure, marked by a remarkable crackdown on criminals and a significant reduction in murders. Kumar took a bold stand against criminals, detaining a staggering 150 criminals under the Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities Act (MPDA) and initiating action under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against 204 notorious history-sheeters. These decisive actions sent a clear message to criminals operating in Nagpur.
One of Commissioner Kumar’s most significant achievements was the 35 per cent reduction in murder cases in 2022. When asked about the reason behind this success, he attributed it to “continuous preventive action against goonda elements.” Between September 2020 and September 2023, 150 criminals were booked under MPDA, and 34 MCOCA orders were passed, leading to the arrest of 204 history-sheeters.
While murder cases have historically been a major challenge in Nagpur, Commissioner Kumar’s proactive approach, supported by the MPDA and MCOCA, helped deter criminal activities. He noted that most of the recent murder cases were related to family matters, indicating a shift away from organized crime.
Commissioner Kumar also emphasized his commitment to improving traffic management in the city, acknowledging that there is room for improvement in this area.
Under his leadership, transparency in police transfers was introduced, boosting the morale of police officers. Additionally, a comprehensive health check-up initiative for police personnel was implemented, ensuring the well-being of those serving the city. Out of 8000 police personnel, 4000 have undergone health check-ups.
Looking ahead, Commissioner Kumar outlined plans for capacity building in tackling online frauds and addressing drug-related offences, further demonstrating his dedication to enhancing the city’s safety and security.

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...
