NEW DELHI: A traffic head constable stopped a vehicle to issue a challan despite being "warned" that an officer of IG rank was seated inside it. Not only did he issue the challan, he also walked up to the senior officer in the car, saluted him as protocol demanded and let the vehicle go. After the senior officer recommended him for a reward, the traffic police has given the head constable (HC) a cash reward of Rs 1,000 on Monday.

The incident was reported on Friday in south Delhi when HC Neeraj Kumar, posted in Delhi Traffic Police's chase-and-challan wing, flagged down a vehicle that jumped a red light at the Kautilya Marg-Sardar Patel Marg crossing while moving from Gyarah Murti towards Dhaula Kuan. When the HC told the driver that he would be issued a challan, the driver reportedly told him that a joint director at the home ministry was in the vehicle and he was in a hurry. "The driver told Neeraj that the senior officer had asked him to drive quickly to their destination. However, Neeraj told him that no police functionary would tell anyone to jump a red light and proceeded to continue with issuing the challan. The senior officer inside the vehicle continued to observe the proceedings without interfering. After issuing the challan, Neeraj went over to the rear window of the vehicle, saluted his senior as is customary, and left," said a senior traffic police officer.

AHMEDABAD: If you are looking for a wet New Year party, it may be prudent to stay indoors. With city police under pressure to ensure a peaceful New Year eve, the police officials, particularly those of traffic department, have chalked out plans of elaborate night patrols and intensive checking drives on highways.

Enforcing ban on liquor is the top priority for city police this year. A senior city police official told TOI that the party scene is yet to hot up due to recent crackdown on farmhouses and bootleggers. "It surely has worked as deterrent and we are expecting more family and friend parties this year on the New Year eve. Our priority would be to stop eve-teasers and miscreants," said a senior city police official. He added that the recent incident where three teenage girls were caught inebriated has forced the police to keep in mind the emerging trends. S M Khatri, deputy commissioner of police (traffic), said the department has 10 breathalyzers that would be used on December 31 night. "The instruments will be given to inspectors and sub-inspectors on patrol who will check any suspicious case and book the offender immediately. The officials will also keep an eye on unruly drivers," he said.

UP Police: Varanasi: यूपी पुलिस हुई हाईटेक, पुलिसवालों को मिली एफएसएल की ट्रेनिंग..

VARANASI: The cops learnt the art of collecting evidences scientifically in cases of murder, rape, explosion and road mishaps in a daylong workshop held in the city. The workshop was held with the help of Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) scientists. IG (range) R P Singh said that during his meeting with FSL director S B Upadhyaya in Lucknow recently, he had requested to hold a special training programme for the policemen in Varanasi range.

Responding to the same request, the FSL director reached Varanasi recently to hold a daylong training programme. Singh said that this training programme was needed because in many cases, the junior cops do not try to collect evidences scientifically due to which problems are faced either at FSL level or in court during the course of trial. All station officers, all gazetted officers from Varanasi and two officials each from Chandauli, Ghazipur and Jaunpur participated in the training programme. SP (rural) Harish Kumar, who coordinated this programme, said that the training on many aspects of evidence collection is given during the regular training courses of police. But, during the special training programme conducted by the FSL, the cops were taught about the technicalities of new methodology of evidence collection, he said, adding that slide shows made this programme interesting as the team of 10 experts shared the details of incident site management protocol. The IG said that many aspects like DNA profiling, ballistic evidences, collection of evidences in rape cases scientifically, viscera preservation and fingerprint techniques were talked about during this training programme.

Police Recruitment: Mumbai Police: मुंबई पुलिस की भरती में पकड़ा गया 'मुन्नाभाई'..

MUMBAI: The Mulund police arrested two men for reportedly impersonating and making fake rubber stamps of senior police authorities to forge identity cards. They used the stamps to make fake identity cards to attend the physical test in the ongoing police constable recruitment exams on December 23. The officials at the police headquarters are the signing authority that issues the cards to the candidates appearing for the job.

The accused Mangesh Satpute (28) from Dharavi, who had applied for the job, made his childhood friend Rohan Bheke (22) to appear for the physical test that was held at Bhandup complex in Mulund on Saturday. "Satpute tried to take advantage of the fact that he looks similar to his friend Bheke. He made Bheke his dummy to appear for the physical test after forging the ID card and swapping their photographs," Mulund police senior inspector Jivajirao Jadhav said. However, Mulund police Sub-inspector Laxman Sable and other officers going through the candidates' papers found discrepancies in Satpute's ID. "Their fraud came to light when officials found the stamp that says 'Police nyalaya' instead of 'mukhyalaya'. Mukhyalaya is the police HQ that issues the hall tickets and the ID cards to the candidates," Jadhav said.

Mumbai Police: Anna Hazare: मुंबई पुलिस की मानें तो अन्ना के अनशन के पहले दिन पांच हजार भी मुश्किल से जुटे...

Did Mumbai give Anna Hazare the cold shoulder? Day One of the much-hyped protest by Anna Hazare and his followers, to press for acceptance of their version of the lokpal bill, at the city's Bandra-Kurla Complex saw conflicting claims about the turnout. Organisers of the three-day event,

India Against Corruption, claimed that the response was as encouraging as at New Delhi's Ramlila Maidan in August. It claimed 30,000 supporters attended the event by 4.30 pm on Tuesday. The city police put the attendance at 4,000-4,500. Both figures excluded 2,500 police personnel and about 500 mediapersons. Did the city, where more than half the voters do not show up for polling, chose to remain indifferent as usual to politically significant events. Or did the yearend holidays keep Anna supporters away?

Political commentator Surendra Jondhale blamed the poor turnout on Hazare and his team's weakening political credibility. "A working day is an insignificant reason but what really caused damage is that it [the protest] is ill-timed and politically not correct."

Mumbai Police: मुंबई पुलिस जवानों ने सीपी साहब के फरमान को लिया सबकुछ मान, अमेरिकी हेलमेट को भी दिया नकार..

MUMBAI: It's a comedy of errors, set in motion by the act of following orders unthinkingly. Last month, after Mumbai police commissioner Arup Patnaik instructed the traffic department to fine all bikers wearing helmets without ISI certification, hundreds were booked for the offence. Farcically enough, these included owners of foreign bikes who wear helmets certified by Australian, Italian and American authorities.

"The purpose of the police commissioner's directive was to send a strong message to those using cheap plastic helmets which can't protect even a cyclist. But the cops carrying out the order have failed to understand that helmets certified by the American Department of Transportation (DOT) are among the safest in the world," says Debashish Ghosh, owner of a Harley Davidson bike. Adds Vijay Jain of Wheelieboy Adventure India Ltd, "We appreciate the traffic department's initiative to make sure people use ISI-certified helmets, but we are looking for a slightly higher standard as our bikes are more powerful and expensive. Our helmets are more reliable and have undergone stringent tests."
