KN Police: Banglore Police: Increase police strength to control crimes, says former Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG&IPG)

BANGALORE: The number of existing police personnel is not enough for future and measures should be taken to increase their number in the State, former Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG&IPG) Neelam Achuta Rao said. Speaking at a farewell programme organised at Kormangala Parade Grounds on Thursday, he said, “New layouts have come up in many parts of the State, including Bangalore and there is a need to increase the number of police personnel to control crimes. The Police Department has a tough time ahead.”

Mentioning that the department had received many facilities, he said, “In my 35 years of service, even under� lot of political pressures and strict restrictions from officers, I have performed my duty within the legal limits. Police personnel� are made to work in two shifts for 12 hours. The� government can ease the burden on the police and can make them work in three shifts and provide them more facilities”. DG&IGP Shankar Bidari described Neelam Achuta Rao as one of the able officers who carried out their duty efficiently without any black mark.� City Police Commissioner B G Jyothiprakash Mirji and other officials were present on the occasion.�� DGP A R Infant did not attend the event.

Gujrat Police: Ahmedabad Police: हाईकोर्ट का आदेश, सीबीआई को सौंपों इशरत जहां एनकाउंटर की जांच, क्योंकि-‘Gujarat police can't be trusted with probe'

The Gujarat High Court on Thursday directed the Central Bureau of Investigation to take over the investigation into the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case. Stating that the Gujarat police could not be “relied upon” to conduct an impartial probe, the High Court asked the CBI to consider the case as an “exceptional one having national ramifications.” A Division Bench, comprising Justices Jayant Patel and Abhilasha Kumari, also directed chairman of the High Court-appointed Special Investigation Team Rajiv Ranjan Verma to file a fresh FIR within a fortnight and hand over all relevant papers and documents to the CBI.

The case relates to the gunning down of Mumbra (Mumbai)-based college girl Ishrat Jahan and three others — Pranesh Pillai alias Javed Sheikh, and two alleged Pakistani terrorists — by the Gujarat crime branch police near Kotarpur on the outskirts of Ahmedabad on June 15, 2004. While the investigation so far by the SIT was limited to establishing whether the encounter was “genuine” as claimed by the Gujarat police, the CBI has been directed by the High Court to also look into an alleged terror angle. The Gujarat police had claimed that Ishrat and the other three were Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives and in Gujarat on a mission to kill Chief Minister Narendra Modi to avenge the 2002 carnage. The three-member SIT, which submitted its report to the Division Bench last month, had come to the conclusion that the encounter was “not genuine” and that the four were killed much earlier. The High Court asked State cadre IPS officer Satish Verma, who was a member of the SIT and had expressed a willingness to continue with the probe if so desired by the court, to provide all assistance to the CBI. It directed the State government to spare him whenever the agency required his help. Rejecting the State government's plea to allow the police to investigate the case, the Bench said such an inquiry would not only be not “reliable,” but also fail to instil confidence among the victims and the public in general because of the involvement of a number of senior police officers in the fake encounter. Besides, “all top officials of the State up to the rank of the then DGP may fall within the ambit of the investigation in connection with the registration of another/fresh FIR,” and therefore investigation by the State police would not be desirable. The Bench also recorded the possibility of the police tampering with evidence to protect its officers.

Mumbai Police: सीनियर इंस्पेक्टर की पुलिस जीप में कांस्टेबल बार गर्ल के साथ पकड़ाया..

Mumbai: One has often heard of couples indulging in acts of affection being rebuked by police officials for misbehaving. However, the tables were turned when a deputy commissioner closed in on a police jeep only to find that a constable was with a bar girl inside the jeep with a businessman. The incident occurred on Wednesday night when Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone III) Kishore Jadhav was on night duty and found a parked white police jeep standing at the corner of LG Road around 2 am near Sena Bhavan.

"When Jadhav got down to check who was in the jeep, he noticed a man running from the vehicle. Later, when he opened the door, he was shocked to find a 57-year-old man and a 27-year-old bar girl in the jeep," said an officer. When taken to Shivaji Park police station for further questioning the duo revealed that the girl was a bar dancer and the businessman knew the constable SM More, who was attached to the Motor Vehicle Department. Investigations also revealed that the vehicle belonged to Senior Inspector Baburao Zipru Gavit (local arms division III). "The businessman told the officials that after More had dropped Gavit home at Dadar, he had taken the vehicle and asked a bar girl to join them in the jeep," said the official adding that the duo had been booked under Sec 110 (indecency) of the Bombay Police Act.

Gujrat Police: Varodara Police: बड़ौदा पुलिस को पहली बार मिली AK-47s and INSAS rifles चलाने को...

VADODARA: When the city policemen turned up for their annual firing practice at a firing range in Halol last month, they were a surprised lot. Instead of the usual .410 musket rifle, they were handed over AK-47s and INSAS rifles for firing at their targets. Having handled only .303 rifle and .410 musket rifle all their life, many of them were not prepared for using automatic weapons. For the first time ever, over 1,900 policemen including traffic cops from the city were imparted training to fire from AK-47, INSAS and (self loading rifle) SLRs.

The move came in the wake of terror attacks and looming threats over big cities in Gujarat. The firing practice was held from November 1 to November 5 and November 12 to November 30. "The musket rifle doesn't have magazine and it can fire only one round at a time. We wanted to train the cops in handling the latest rifles so that they can retaliate swiftly during terror attacks," city police headquarters police inspector Kuldeep Sharma, who imparted the training in automatic weapons, said. "During any terror attack, the constables and traffic cops posted on city roads become first victims. Training in handling automatic weapons also increases the confidence of cops and they won't have to wait till the commandos or senior cops reach the spot," Sharma told TOI.

Currently, the police have 18 AK-47s, 105 INSAS rifles and 90 SRLs that are used by police escort teams, commandoes and senior cops. According to police officials, most police constables and traffic cops don't take the firing practice seriously as they think that only armed cops, senior police officials and commandos are supposed to handle arms. "When terrorists opened fire in Mumbai two years ago, the cops posted on city roads became soft targets. We want our cops to be prepared for such attacks," added Sharma, who insisted that all cops be trained in automatic weapons. Over 70 women cops, too, were trained to fire automatic weapons. Every cop was given five rounds to fire and most of them performed averagely as it was their first experience. "We used these automatic weapons for the first time and it was a good learning experience. Handling modern weapons does increase our confidence," police sub-inspector Rahim Sheikh said. According to senior police officials, Gujarat is probably among the only few states that still provides outdated rifles to the police despite the fact that it is always high on the terror threat lists and has witnessed several attacks in the past.

पुलिस देगी मंदिरों एवं पर्यटन स्थल की जानकारी खंडवा , रविवार, 27 नवंबर 2011( 01:04 IST ) ओंकारेश्वर और महेश्वर में टूरिस्ट पुलिस चौकी खोलने की अनुमति केंद्र सरकार से प्राप्त हो गई है। विभिन्ना पाइंट पर तैनात पर्यटन विभाग की पुलिस न केवल पर्यटकों को सुरक्षा प्रदान करेगी वरन मंदिरों एवं पर्यटन स्थल की जानकारी भी उपलब्ध कराएगी।

यह बात पर्यटन विकास निगम के महाप्रबंधक आरएस तोमर ने पर्यटन कार्यशाला में दी। उन्होंने कहा विश्व के आधा प्रतिशत यानी करीब 50 लाख विदेशी पर्यटक प्रतिवर्ष मध्यप्रदेश आते हैं। अविकसित पर्यटन स्थलों का विकास कर पर्यटकों की संख्या 1 करोड़ तक पहुँचाने का लक्ष्य है। निजी क्षेत्र को भी पर्यटन स्थल से जोड़ने की कवायद की जा रही है। कार्यशाला में श्री तोमर ने कहा भारत के हृदय स्थल मध्यप्रदेश में पर्यटन की अपार संभावनाएँ हैं। इस प्रदेश का 33 प्रतिशत भू-भाग वनों से आच्छादित है। पर्यटन स्थलों पर गंदगी से निजात दिलाने और सड़कों व रेल काउंटर में विकास की जरूरत है।
