Nagpur: In a sensational double murder that rocked Jaripatka area, an aged man hacked his wife and 10-year old son of brother-in-law to death on Saturday. The wee-hour murders rattled the residents of the area and tension ran high. The accused murderer has been arrested. It is reported that the accused was boiling with anger since his brother-in-law threatened to sever his hands and legs over domestic matters.

According to police, the double murder was reported from Takshashila Nagar, Nari Road in Jaripatka. The deceased have been identified as Gopibai Sharnu alias Annaji Kamble (50) and Chetan Madhukar Rampure (10), both residents of Umargaon, Usmanabad. The accused Sharnu alias Annaji Kamble (60) slit throats of sleeping Gopibai and Chetan with an axe between 3 and 3.30 in the wee hours of Saturday. After committing the spine chilling crime the accused Sharnu went to Jaripatka Police Station and surrendered himself. When the accused narrated the blood curdling murders the cops present in the Police Station were awe struck. A team of policemen, led by API Wagh, rushed to the spot only to be dismayed. The floor of the room was splattered with blood and walls with blood stains.

The double murder accused Sharnu alias Annaji Kamble told police that his brother-in-law had threatened him few days ago that his hands and legs would be chopped off over some domestic matters. At that time, wife of the accused had supported her brother causing simmering discontent. The accused further told police that he has no issue and that is why Chetan, son of his brother-in-law, was staying with them. The brother-in-law’s threat had left accused Sharnu boiling with anger and as a result he used to bash up his wife every now and then over some reason or the other. Chetan used to protest beating up of Gopibai and confront the accused Sharnu making him angrier.

It is surmised that the volcanic anger exploded in the wee hours of Saturday and the accused Sharnu first hacked Gopibai with an axe. However, the splitting blood and commotion woke up Chetan and he started crying and shouting.  Panicked by Chetan’s actions, Sharnu, without mercy, slit throat of the 10-year old boy with one shot and killed him, too.

Jaripatka police have booked the accused Sharnu Kamble under Section 302 of IPC and arrested him Further probe is underway.

Accused suspected wife:
It is reported that the double murder accused Sharnu alias Annaji Kamble, 60, was a short tempered man. He suspected wife and this factor often sparked skirmishes between the two. A vegetable vendor, Sharnu is a drunkard. Under the influence, Sharnu used to blame wife Gopibai for he being issueless. The helpless Gopibai had frequently sought intervention by her brother and as a result, Chetan was used to stay with the quarrelling couple in the hope that peace will prevail. However, destiny took a bloody turn and ruined two families.

Nagpur: In what could be termed as injustice, acting on partial information and without hearing the other side, Deputy Commissioner of Police Shailesh Balkawde has suspended three constables after taking the directives of his superiors on October 20, 2015. The three police constables were identified as Vinod Sejud, Mukesh Kannake and Amit Checke.

According to reliable sources, the three police constables attached to Sitabuldi Police Station had come to eat their dinner at Samadhan Saoji Restaurant in Bajaj Nagar. The three police constables were in uniform. Unknown to them, some Police Officers too were allegedly consuming liquor and eating dinner in the same Samadhan Saoji Restaurant at a few distance away from where the constables were seated. Some of the waiters while speaking to Nagpur Today said that the Police Officers too were in uniform but had worn a civil shirt over their uniform.
Since Samadhan Saoji Restaurant falls in the jurisdiction of Sitabuldi Police Station, the owner and the waiters knew the three police constables. This ensured that they were getting a good service which included prompt serving of the food material that they had ordered and the cooler moved in their direction etc.

This prompt service for the three constables irked the Police Officers who apparently were not getting the same treatment and service from the waiters. This hurt their ego. The Police Officers were seated along with a cloth merchant and an Advocate and were allegedly consuming liquor.

With their ego hurt, one of the officers decided to show the constables their place and had allegedly taken photographs on mobile putting off the flash. The police officer had allegedly sent the photograph to Assistant Commissioner of Police and Deputy Commissioner of Police. A crime reporter of a national media too received the picture.

The media personnel had allegedly ignored to enquire into what had actually transpired and printed a news item which was based on partial information provided by some police officers which claimed that the constables were consuming liquor while in uniform. Taking the seriousness of the matter and the way the image of police constables in the city is getting blemished, Deputy Commissioner of Police Shailesh Balkawde has suspended three constables on October 20, 2015 has suspended the three constables.

Adverse action of such actions
It is hardly a week since a Police Inspector in the state had succumbed to such pressure and committed suicide. Everybody knows that the policemen work in very adverse situations and conditions and are very susceptible to committing suicide. Why is it that without a proper hearing and investigation penal actions are taken against policemen? Taking out personal vendetta and ego-satisfying actions may cause adverse effects to the morale of the policemen.
