However, Shilpa had told her that she need not go out as she had extra rakhis at home. Prajakta, nevertheless, went out giving some excuse.

Shilpa had no reason to smell something fishy. However, when Prajakta did not return for a long time, Shilpa informed Atul over phone. Atul rushed home and soon, accompanied by his brother-in-law Rajendra Deshmukh and other relatives, went out in search of his wife and son. As she had left her mobile at home, they were unable to locate her.

So Atul lodged a missing complaint with Hudkeshwar police. A worried Atul somehow spent the night and again set off early in the morning to look for his wife and son. On peeping into the wells in the locality, he spotted two floating corpses in a well. He immediately informed the police, which rushed there along with PSI N D Purbhe.

Nagpur: Hatching a plot straight out of Bollywood movie ‘Special 26’, a gang of eight people, of which three have been identified as small time criminals from Nagpur had masqueraded as Income Tax officials, conducted raids at the places of many high profile people across Maharashtra and conned them into squeezing large amount of cash and jewellery from them.

Police in Washim near Nagpur have managed to blow the lid off this unusual heist. Washim police have identified three criminals so far, all of whom are from Nagpur. Rest of the five are reportedly absconding.

According to reliable sources, these goons were identified as Suraj Surendra Kode, a resident of Police Line Takli, Gittikhadan, Sandeep Ratnakar Deshmukha resident of Anant Nagar, Borgaon Road, Gittikhadan and Prasad Ashok Ashtikar, resident of Plot No 87, Ramnagar, Ambazhari

According to the Police Officer of Washim where three of these goons were finally caught, the goons did a thorough research on some of the leading industrialists, MLAs, Ministers, traders, actors and actresses etc. They ascertained and ensured that their target has a lot of unaccounted cash and jewelleries in their houses / offices. These goons would then carry out a fake IT raid on their targets and under the guise of seizure, they would take with them the heist and flee. Even when the targeted victims realized that they have been looted by goons, they desist from reporting the matter since they have unaccounted for money (Black money). This encouraged the goons to continue their fraudulent activities.

These arrested goons along with five other goons had watched the Bollywood movie Special 26 and decided to use the concept of the movie into reality.

Special 26, also known as Special Chabbis, is a 2013 Indian heist crime thriller film directed by Neeraj Pandey. The film is inspired by the 1987 Opera House heist where a group posing as Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officers executed an income tax raid on the jeweler in Mumbai.

Police sources informed that this gang visited many cities and incorporated local youth into the gang on temporary basis. They were given training to behave exactly the way the Income Tax officials do. They then did several reconnaissances of the targeted victim’s house and office. They researched their behaviours and daily schedule thoroughly.

Once they had sufficient information, the entire gang raided the house of these industrialists, MLAs, Ministers, Traders, actors and actresses. They would storm the house and snatched the mobile phones and unplugged the land-lines so that no member of the house is able to call anyone. The servants and maids were made to sit in one room. The owners were made to sit in the living room. They then go through the almirahs, safes, lockers, and all such places where people usually hide valuables and cash.

These goons then bring the loot/booty into the living room, prepare an inventory of all the goods and valuables and make the owner of the house to sign the papers. They then promptly claim that these goods are seized by them and that the owner has to come to the Income Tax office, pay the taxes and claim their cash, ornaments back. Only few dare to go to IT office since the cash and ornaments are seldom purchased with white money. This ensured the con-men to get away with the looting spree.

However, as they say, the long arm of the law catches up with you; the luck of these goons was exhausted at Washim where they raided a prominent Property Broker’s house. The property broker or victim is identified as Sopan Cover. These goons showed their identity cards only after showing a lot of attitude and arrogance before displaying their identity cards.

These goons carried out a raid at around 8:30 am. However, they did not find the expected quantity of cashand ornaments. So they acted as if they got a call to raid another place and left the house.

The owner of the house, property broker or victim Sopan Cover had some doubt and reported the matter to the city police. The city police in-turn called up the Income Tax Department of Akola and Nagpur and found out that such a raid was never orchestrated by them.

This confirmed their doubts and they started a search for these goons. The Washim cops managed to apprehend three members of the gang of eight goons. A case was registered under Crime No 0317 dated August 20, 2016 against these goons in Washim Police Station under Sections 170, 416, 417, 419, 448 (34) of Indian Penal Code 1860.

Sources in Washim Police claimed that one of two cars which the goons used was a Hyundai Verna Car bearing RTO Registration No MH-49/ B-9381 while the Maruti Swift Dezire’s number turned out to be a fake number. The cops came to Nagpur, and arrested these goons from Nagpur and took them to Washim. The cops have procured Police Custodial Remand till August 24, 2016.

It remains to be seen if the Washim Police manages to dig out information of all the fake raids these goons carried out. Sources in Washim Police claimed that these goons are hard nuts and not so easy to crack. They may bear the beatings and third degree interrogation but may not reveal their accomplices.

Nagpur: Free circulation of porn sites is gradually having its negative impact on the budding generation and this is resulting into serious crime. In a similar incident under Shanti Nagar police station, a minor boy studying in class 9th turned porn addict and could not hold his lust. Eventually he raped a 3 year old girl. The matter only came to light when the girl developed complications. Police have arrested the boy under relevant sections of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) act.

Interestingly, the boy belongs to a reputed family in Nagpur while the father of 3 year old girl is unemployed and being raised by his mother who is nurse by profession.

Police sources informed that the girl used to frequently play at the accused’s home and on the fateful day, she went as usual . The boy took her on the terrace at 3 pm on the fateful day where he raped her.

Being just three year-old, the girl did not understand what happened to her. She narrated her ordeal to neighbours who were shocked to hear it. The family of the boy was also present when the girl narrated the incident and they tried everything to bury the incident and cover the crime of their son. They successfully hid the episode from girl’s mother. Meanwhile, the little girl fell sick and her mother gave her flu medications.

On last Monday, the girl was with her mother when she came across the boy. She started crying upon seeing the boy, yanked her mother’s hand off and bolted inside the home. The girl’s behaviour raised her mother’s suspicion and she gently questioned her. After realising the truth, her mother approached Shanti Nagar police and registered complaint.

It is worth a mention that despite knowing, not a single neighbour informed the the girl’s mother about the ordeal. Being a working mom, she too did not notice the change in her daughter’s demeanor, because of which, the crime went undetected for such a long time.

Nagpur: The Commissioner of Police (Nagpur) and the soon to be Additional General of Police (Law and Order) Maharashtra Sharda Prasad Yadav aka SP Yadav had a tête–à–tête with Nagpur Today before he took charge of the new posting.

A top cop who was skilled in men-management and knew how to run the police department efficiently said that his tenure in this city was for 17 months. This IPS officer having a unique persona drew love and respect from all those who worked under him. S P Yadav claimed that when he took over the role of Commissioner of Police he had two challenges. One was that the citizens had lost faith on the police. We can easily assume that the causative factor was the police.

The major role was police personnel who caused the public at large to loose faith on the police officials. He went on to add that hardly three or four people used to come to his office to lodge a complaint. When asked why they did not choose to lodge a complaint with the police station, they used to say that they have lodged many complaints but to no avail since the person against whom the complaint is lodged is a big goon and may harm us if he comes to know that we have lodged a complaint with the police. The behavior of the police too was not conducive.

People started seeking solutions through political leaders or through muscle men for instant justice. Gangsters started creeping up.  Yet police played a passive role and deferred prevention of crime.

In his tenure, S P Yadav claimed that he has successfully ensured that the citizens come boldly to lodge a complaint, police to become responsive and sensitive to the problems of the citizens. An upheaval was undertaken of the image and the working pattern of the cops in the police station.

From January, they started taking the goons head-on. It did take time and was not easy. Initially there was a lot of resistance to changes, but slowly the pro-active changes were accepted and implemented. However, public support is also needed. It was a big challenge which he accepted and faced the challenge boldly and ensured that during his tenure the city finally heaved a sigh of relief. He ensured that the criminals are behind bars and the citizens feel safe and secure in his watch.

Among the many firsts that Nagpur police has to its credit, majority of them have been initiated and employed by him. A very strict and a no-nonsense IPS officer told Nagpur Today that it took him two months to get to know the city, the way the city police have functioned so far etc. He claimed that he also lost two-months in his personal medical condition. After that he knew what he had to do to control the crime in the city. He held a meeting with the IPS officers holding the position of Deputy Commissioners of Police of different zones. He also had a meeting with all the In-Charge Police Inspectors of different Police Stations.

Efficient means communications in place
We also opened the door by starting the 10 defunct Land-line numbers “100” of Police help Line. These 10 lines were converted into operational numbers. The old EPBAX system which was non-functional or defective was replaced and a new very modern computer-aided of digital telephone lines were made operational.

Not a single complaint goes unheeded. No one can say that the complaint was not registered. Voice recorder system is made active and action taken is recorded. Street crimes are taken cognizance by senior police officials like DCP, PI etc. Instant action was initiated in a recent case of kidnapping and within 5 hours, the accused were nabbed. We have regained the faith of the people. All the cops were provided with Smart phones and Tabs which helped them to communicate with text messages.

Positive effect of dossiers
He directed the cops to start the practice of making dossiers of all the criminals big or small, past and present. This kept the Detective Branch (DB Squad) of every police station on toes. Since the dossiers had to have all the details of the accused. This helped the cops to gather all the data of all the criminals in their jurisdiction, their present occupation, their family members, their affairs, their extra-marital affairs, their style of committing offenses, their accomplices etc.

Whenever, any offense occurs, the cops match the modus operandi with the details in the dossiers and knew who could have committed this offence. When they apprehended the accused too, they used to enter the details in the dossiers. This helped the cops to make these case files of the offender and place him in the list of habitual offenders and enhance the punishments. This dossier also helped in getting many known offenders punished under Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA). He then gave the cops directives to follow a concept, ‘Pehle Action Phir Section”. (Meaning, they have to initiate the action of detection, apprehension of the offenders and interrogation. This will be followed by slapping relevant sections). According to the former Top Cop, there is a big book of IPC, and every criminal is sure to fall into one or more sections of Indian Penal Code. This too yielded its desired results. Many accused were picked up and after thorough questioning many buckled under pressure and confessed to their crimes.  Seeking their suggestions and help in better policing. All the vehicles are fitted with GPRS system which relays their exact location and reach the crime spot within minutes. The dispatcher dispatches the nearest vehicle.  The response time has come to 5 minutes.

The improvement of police-public inter-personal relationship
Former CP S P Yadav made all efforts to improve the inter-personal relationship of the masses and the police department. He made all efforts to ensure that every citizen in the city can feel free to walk into a police station and lodge a complaint which was not very favorable earlier. He incorporated the concept of Police Mitras and personally selected them and involved them in the police work. These Police Mitras helped solve many criminal cases. They also helped in patrolling the streets and in collecting information on various criminal antecedents.

MCOCA had worked as an effective deterrent
S P Yadav claimed that slapping Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA) on many criminals and offenders ensured that the big-time criminals and offenders got locked up in Central Prison. This in-turn demoralized the small time offenders and they fled the city or stopped their criminal activities.

MCOCA was only one action. Gangsters who had a perception that they cannot be touched by the police in spite of serious offences like murder, rape, extortion, etc registered against them. These goons felt that they immunity of all legal action. This belief that they had generated in the minds of people started dissipating, when they started taking action against these goons. The reputation and the honour was reclaimed and public started realizing that no one in immune to legal action and that severe action too is initiated against the goons.

Made police presence on social media
It was only because of his initiative that all the police stations made whatsapp group of senior citizens, hoteliers, youth etc. The introduction of whatsapp groups in the police department helped cops to deal with the crime situation, made them smarter, effective especially in implementation of MCOCA, up-gradation and revamping of various police stations, and not the least, bringing the alarming crime rate at remarkably low level. He also encouraged In-charge Police Inspectors of all police stations to open an account on facebook, twitter etc.

Former CP lauds grass-root level police personnel
S P Yadav claimed that it is the constables, head-constables who worked hard in bringing the crime under control. He claimed that it was the efficient constables and head-constables who initiated good network of informants, it was they who did the ground work and are truly praiseworthy. S P Yadav also claimed that he had a good and efficient support from all the IPS officers, Police Inspectors and his staff which ensured the significant reduction in crime rate in the city.
