KN Police: इंस्पेक्टर साहब के घर Child Welfare Committee (CWC) का छापा, नाबालिग को बना रखा था नौकर

MYSORE: In an incident that has left many a police official red-faced, a team comprising members of the Child Welfare Committee (CWC), labour department officials and activists of Odanadi, an NGO, conducted a surprise raid on the residence of a police inspector and rescued a 13-year-old girl who was made to work as a bonded labourer there for the last two years.
The raid was conducted in the presence of media personnel on the residence of inspector M N Shashidhar in Vijayanagar, just 200 m away from Vijayanagar Police Station.
That the incident has come to light after the Mysore City and District Police conducted for the first time ‘Namma Mane Police’, a unique programme wherein police officials would visit houses and collect details of children to ensure that they are sent to school is a cause for consternation.

The CWC team acting on a tip-off raided the house and rescued the child, Tanu, 13, (name changed), the daughter of Annappa and Manjamma, natives of Konanur in Arkalgud taluk of Hassan district.
A police constable at Arkalgud station, Paramesh first noticed Tanu working in the inspector’s residence.
Meanwhile, Tanu related to the police that her father had borrowed a loan from Shashidhar for his elder daughter’s marriage.
Tanu, who was then studying in her third grade in school, was forced to give up education and made to wash utensils and mop the floor of the inspector’s house.
She was locked up in a backyard, covered with grills, whenever her captor’s family went on an outing.

The girl’s statement was recorded in the presence of CWC Chairman Venkatesh, Labour Inspectors Hemalatha and Shivashanker, Odanadi directors Parshu and Stanley, among others, when she expressed desire to continue her education.
Stanley said that the tahsildar should register a police complaint in the case.
He said that the child will be produced before the CWC and then handed over to a juvenile home.
“The child will be provided free education and boarding facilities as her parents are poor.” Meanwhile, the police officer’s family chose to remain evasive to the media.

JK Police: Stone pelters on bikes attack Kashmir police station

SRINAGAR: Over 300 motorcycle-borne stone pelters attacked a police station in this Jammu and Kashmir summer capital, injuring six policemen. Over 70 attackers were arrested and 10 bikes were seized during the clashes, which lasted for five hours, police said Sunday.

As Muslims throughout the Kashmir Valley prayed in mosques to observe 'Shab-e-Qadr' -- the holiest night according to the Muslim calendar -- the stone pelters attacked a police station Saturday night, trying to re-enact the unrest witnessed here last year.

As security forces were busy facilitating the smooth conduct of prayers at various mosques in the city, the men attacked the old city's Nowhatta police station, a police statement said here.

"They tossed two petrol bombs on police. Six policemen were injured, two of them seriously," the statement said.

Speaking to IANS, a senior police officer said: "The stone pelters have of late been using motorcycles."

"The typical practice is that such bikes carry three people -- one rides the bike, the man in the middle has stones in his lap and the one at the back hurls them at the security forces... they move at a menacing speed," he said.

It must be recalled that during last year's summer unrest, Nowhatta police station in Srinagar city had been one of the main targets of protesters.

Police stations, public property and security forces were the main targets of unruly mobs in the valley last year, resulting in bloody clashes between mobs and security forces in which over 100 people were killed.

Maharastra Police: Mumbai Police: बलात्कार के आरोपी पुलिस कांस्टेबल को बांबे हाईकोर्ट ने छोड़ा, निचली अदालत ने दी थी 15 साल की कैद..

The Bombay High Court has acquitted
a police constable, sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment by a
trial court for allegedly raping a minor, after concluding
that prosecution had failed to prove the charge against him.
The High Court said that he could have been convicted only
for attempt to rape and since he had already been in jail for
more than five years, he should be released.

Chandrakant Pawar (47), attached to Sahar police station
as a head constable at the time of the incident, was accused
of kidnapping and raping a 15-year-old beggar in October 2005.
He was convicted by the sessions court in July 2006.
Justice J H Bhatia, however, overturned the lower court's
decision, holding that medical evidence did not prove sexual
intercourse.
"The prosecution has failed to prove beyond reasonable
doubt that the accused had actually committed rape, though
there is strong evidence that he attempted to commit rape....
Hence the accused is liable to be convicted only for attempt
to rape," the High Court said.
The judge further said that Pawar had already been in
jail for more than five years (since his arrest on October 18,
2005), so he need not undergo further sentence on the count of
attempt to rape.

According to the prosecution, on the night of October 17,
2005, Pawar forcibly took the victim, who begged at a signal
near the Mumbai airport, to a secluded place and raped her.
Afterwards, when he was about to take the girl back to the
spot from where he had picked her up, another police
constable, suspecting something amiss, took them to police
station. The girl had then lodged the complaint of rape.

Goa Police: सलामी शस्त्र करना भूला कांस्टेबल, तो डीजीपी साहब ने सस्पेंड किया

MAPUSA: A police constable attached to the Mapusa police station found that he didn't know the formal salutation after DGP Aditya Arya conducted a surprise visit to the police station on Thursday.

Speaking to TOI, Arya said "I have suspended the constable because he does not know how to do the 'Salami Shastra' salute".

Continuing his surprise visits to police stations "for better functioning of the police force", the DGP on Thursday morning, as a common man, visited Mapusa police station in civilian clothes. Sources said, that he visited the office of the PI in-charge of the police station and later walked up to the police lock-up area and saw for himself the situation in and around the police station.

On seeing the DGP, the constable Santosh Sawant saluted the police chief but he didn't do it properly. Sawant (buckle number 5415) could not present the proper 'arms' - formal salutation of 'salami shastra' to DGP Arya, sources said.

"Sawant is suspended under powers of sub rule (1) of the rule 12 of the Goa police subordinate service (discipline and appeal) rule 1975, read with Section 7 of the police act 1861,"said deputy superintendent of police Sammy Tavares.

The DGP also said that every one should get a chance to learn. "I have told him (constable) that once he learns the 'salami shastra' properly, he will be reinstated," Arya said.

Earlier, Arya had visited the police stations in Porvorim and Calangute. "I am going to police stations as a common man to know how they behave with the common man. So that, mistakes can be rectified and they work properly and every person visiting police stations should be treated sympathetically,"Arya said.
