Foreign Police: Maxico Police: Heavily-armed men assaulted Mexican federal police units in a carefully planned attack in which 22 people were killed, most of them assailants

MEXICO CITY: Heavily-armed men assaulted Mexican federal police units in a carefully planned attack in which 22 people were killed, most of them assailants, in six towns, the government announced. The gunmen concealed themselves in hills above checkpoints in Michoacan state, a western area tormented by drug cartels, and blocked at least four sections of highway before swooping on their targets, wielding grenades. "So far, we have two federal policemen killed, 20 presumed criminals shot dead and another 15 people under arrest," the interior ministry's national security council said in a statement. The attackers were equipped with high-powered rifles and grenades when they struck in the troubled Tierra Caliente region, a hot spot for gang violence, the council added, without stating how many police or gunmen had been wounded. In May, Mexico's government promised to keep thousands of troops in Michoacan, which has 4.3 million citizens, until peace is restored. Interior minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong at the time held a meeting of the national security team in the state capital Morelia with local officials, aimed at tackling a crime wave that led some towns to start vigilante groups. Officials said 4,000 soldiers and marines and 1,000 federal police were deployed. Osorio Chong also said the forces would leave once security conditions have improved and the state government can hold its own. Michoacan was the first state to see troops when former president Felipe Calderon decided to deploy tens of thousands of soldiers across the country to crack down on drug cartels in 2006. But gang violence surged throughout Mexico, leaving 70,000 people in its wake when Calderon left office in December, and a powerful new cartel, the Knights Templar, emerged in Michoacan. Osorio Chong has insisted that the strategy ordered by current President Enrique Pena Nieto will be different than his predecessor's, with a single command, close coordination between various authorities, greater use of intelligence assets, and an economic development program. Pena Nieto took office in December vowing to switch the focus toward reducing the level of violence. He has since launched a crime prevention program but he says troops will stay until the murder rate declines. Fed up with crime, vigilantes have appeared in recent months and clashed with the Knights Templar cartel, notably in Tierra Caliente. Drug gangs have existed for decades in Michoacan, where they grow marijuana and opium poppies and produce synthetic drugs in makeshift labs before shipping them to the United States. courtsy- TOI.

नई दिल्ली : इस माह के अंत में अवकाश ग्रहण करने वाले दिल्ली पुलिस आयुक्त नीरज कुमार ने पुलिस बल के मुखिया के कम से कम दो साल के एक नियत कार्यकाल की हिमायत करते हुए कहा कि उनका 13 महीने का कार्यकाल बहुत छोटा था। कुमार ने अफसोस जताया कि पुलिस प्रमुखों के कार्यकाल के बारे में उच्चतम न्यायालय से तय मार्गनिर्देशों का पालन नहीं किया गया। उन्होंने कहा, ‘13 महीना बहुत छोटा वक्त होता है। इसे कम से कम दो साल होने चाहिए जैसा उच्चतम न्यायालय ने तय किया।’ कुमार से जब पूछा गया कि छोटे कार्यकाल के चलते क्या वह पुलिस बल के आधुनिकीकरण की अपनी योजना अमल में नहीं ला सके तो उन्होंने कहा, ‘इसका अब क्या मतलब है? ये उच्चतम न्यायालय के निर्देश हैं लेकिन लागू नहीं किए गए।’ फिलहाल, गृह सचिव, विदेश सचिव, रक्षा सचिव, कैबिनेट सचिव, आईबी प्रमुख, प्रवर्तन निदेशालय के निदेशक, सीबीआई प्रमुख और रॉ प्रमुख के दो साल के नियत कार्यकाल हैं। पिछले एक दशक में, दिल्ली में पांच पुलिस आयुक्त हुए जिनमें कुमार का कार्यकाल (जून 2012-जुलाई 2013) का सबसे छोटा है। कुमार से पहले बीके गुप्ता दिल्ली पुलिस के आयुक्त थे। उनका कार्यकाल 19 महीने का था। कुमार के बाद 1 अगस्त को दिल्ली पुलिस की कमान भीम सैन बस्सी संभालेंगे। वह फरवरी 2016 में अवकाश ग्रहण करेंगे। इस तरह उनका कार्यकाल ढाई साल का होने वाला है। पिछले 10 साल में, के. के. पॉल का कार्यकाल सबसे लंबा था। वह फरवरी 2004 से जुलाई 2007 तक दिल्ली पुलिस आयुक्त के पद पर आसीन थे। उनका कार्यकाल तीन साल पांच माह का था। पॉल के अवकाश ग्रहण करने के बाद वाई. एस. डडवाल पुलिस आयुक्त बने। वह जुलाई 2007 से नवंबर 2010 तक तीन साल चार महीने इस पद पर बने रहे। (एजेंसी)

Rajasthan Police: Police & Bollywood: जयपुर SP हरिप्रसाद शर्मा से पूजा भट्ट का झगड़ा, एसपी साहब को खुद के केबिन में जाने से रोकने का आरोप. Bollywood Actress & Producer pooja bhatt had a tussle with Jaipur SP.

जयपुर।। डायरेक्टर-ऐक्ट्रेस पूजा भट्ट की टीम के सदस्यों और उदयपुर के पुलिस अधीक्षक के बीच रविवार को कहासुनी हो गई। पूजा ने आरोप लगाया है कि पुलिस अधिकारी ने फिल्म के सेट पर पहुंचकर अभद्र भाषा का प्रयोग किया। भोपालपुरा के एसएचओ ज्ञानेंद्र सिंह ने बताया कि यह घटना उस समय हुई जब पूजा की आने वाली फिल्म 'बैड' की उदयपुर कलेक्टरेट परिसर में शूटिंग चल रही थी। इसी परिसर में उदयपुर के पुलिस अधीक्षक हरिप्रसाद शर्मा का भी कार्यालय है। सिंह के मुताबिक, परिसर के कार्यालय बंद थे। पुलिस अधीक्षक कुछ काम के लिए अपने कार्यालय में आए थे, लेकिन फिल्म की टीम के सदस्यों ने शूटिंग के कारण उन्हें अपने चैंबर में जाने से रोक दिया। पुलिस अधीक्षक ने कहा, 'टीम के सदस्य मुझे मेरे चैंबर में जाने नहीं दे रहे थे और उन्होंने मुझे महेश भट्ट से फोन पर बात करने को कहा। भले ही उन्होंने यहां शूटिंग करने की इजाजत ली है, लेकिन वे हमें हमारे चैंबर में प्रवेश करने से नहीं रोक सकते।' सिंह ने बताया कि कहासुनी के बाद मामला शांत हो गया और फिल्म के सदस्यों के खिलाफ कोई कार्रवाई नहीं की गई और पुलिस अधीक्षक भी आखिर में अपने चैंबर में चले गए। वहीं, इसी बीच पूजा ने कहा, 'पुलिस अधीक्षक से दो मिनट इंतजार करने को कहा गया था, लेकिन उन्होंने हमें धमकी दी और अभद्र भाषा का भी इस्तेमाल किया।' courtesy-nbt.

Mumbai Police: ये लेडी दबंग तो क्रिमिनल्स के भी मुंह खुलवा देती है. But she knows how to make criminals talk, says Pooja Bhula of Police Inspector, Shalini Sharma.

In classic small-heeled pumps, fitted narrow trousers, a colourful scarf, plain shirt, long hair, tall frame and a confident stride, Police Inspector Shalini Sharma--Extradition Cell, of Mumbai’s Crime Investigative Unit (CIU)—carries herself like one of Charlie’s Angels. CIU officers don’t wear uniforms. She is as alert as she is friendly—interrogating gangsters, terrorists, paedophiles and the like, for a living. Two months ago, the Crime Branch arrested Theva Satish Kumar, of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), based on an Interpol alert issued by the Sri Lankan government. What was Shalini’s role? “We verified the intelligence received, and alerted police stations, immigration and other teams.” Following an arrest, the person is presented in court and taken into custody for questioning. “The interrogation went on for 24 hours! He was lying and I knew it. The stamp on his passport was fake.” As per media reports, Kumar first said he came by air, but later revealed he arrived via sea. He would have been caught, boarding a flight from Sri Lanka. “I don’t use third degree. I make them speak-up without breaking laws. Criminals don’t expect decency of this sort, so at first, they think I will go soft on them. But, with 23 years of experience, I know how to make people comfortable, I know how to make them talk,” is her unique approach. From Scotland Yard to Interpol No wonder she was chosen for a $10,000 scholarship to learn Hostage Negotiation and Crisis Management from Scotland Yard. “In 2008, we didn’t have negotiators to look into lacunae during terror attacks. So the Rotary Club and Mumbai Police took the initiative. 12 candidates, initially selected based on age and police experience, were narrowed to six, three ,and finally one.” In her brief tenure as chief counsellor, Shalini thwarted a suicide attempt. “In interviews, Rotary gauged our international exposure and ability to handle sensitive matters. Officers tested our knowledge, language, and presentation skills. Working in the Extradition Cell since 2004 helped, as I was in regular contact with consulates. Confidence and interest matter too.” Her training lasted two weeks. She acquainted herself with the British Transport Police, London Police and New Scotland Yard Police, London, and wanted other officers to be trained too. “Crisis management isn’t a one-person job. I convinced my seniors to get two officers from Scotland Yard to Mumbai. Eventually, 17 officers were trained. With the remaining scholarship money, I got permission to familiarise myself with Interpol in Lyon, France.”

Traffic Department in 1993 Shalini has handled portfolios ranging from law and order to the computerisation of a commissionerate. But her face lights up at the mention of the Thane Traffic Police Department. “I joined as traffic officer and had a team of 15 women constables. We were the first batch of women to get this role. The experience was thrilling. I rode a Bullet, chased trucks and looked into traffic engineering. The public appreciated my work and demanded speed breakers and reflectors. Others were upset, because I didn’t let anyone off without a fine.” Fitness and Family The former Indian University level volleyball player’s fitness quotient hasn’t decreased. She watches her diet, gyms from 9pm-10pm when possible, or swims and takes brisk walks. “I’ve had clashes with my husband and sometimes feel my sons are neglected. But whoever joins the police is prepared for stress, physical demands, and difficulties it may cause to family life.” Plans for future She has a diploma in cyber crime and intends to learn forensic investigation and acquire weapons training. Police plan your precautions Be conscious of time and place You have to be conscious of your time and place of travel. Late at night and early in the morning, you’ll find fewer people, so it will be difficult to get help. Keep track of whether your destination or the places you’ll cross are in the news for eve-teasing, chain snatching, rape or any such crimes. Stay alert, act now If a vehicle suddenly stops near you, think why? If something seems amiss whilst travelling, change your taxi, auto or train bogie. If you’re walking, look who’s around you, change your route if required and contact authorities. Being stalked? Inform the police If you find eve-teasers near your college, bus stop or routes you take regularly, inform the police, to prevent a mishap. Acid attacks are premeditated. Perpetrators generally know the victims and their routines. Random strangers on the road don’t suddenly fling acid at passersby. It could be a stalker, a rejected lover, or someone you’ve had a fallout with. Don’t hide or neglect such instances, at least inform your friends. Stay fit Fitness is very, very important. You have to be agile in times of need. Learn basic self-defence We are not living in a jungle, so there’s no need to go deep into martial arts. But, the basics of Judo and Karate are good enough to tackle attackers or buy time to run. These days, the police also teaches self defence in several schools. Project confidence You have to make yourself mentally strong, project fitness and confidence to deter attacks. Carry an extra battery and pepper spray Communicability is important at all times, especially if you’re travelling in remote areas or at odd hours. Always keep your mobile handy and carry an extra battery. There is no harm in carrying pepper spray too. Note down taxi and auto numbers, when travelling alone at night. Shout!!! You may have objects to defend yourself and might know everything, but nothing beats presence of mind. If you’re in a situation where you can’t defend yourself, don’t be self-conscious, just SHOUT, so that people can come to your rescue. courtsy- DNA

Police Reform: AP fails to get full marks: पुलिस रिफार्म मामले में आंध्र-प्रदेश पुलिस फिसड्डी साबित..

While the constitution of the State Security Commission (SSC) by the State Government on Saturday ushers in much-needed police reforms, the government’s silence on the other directives of the Supreme Court is disconcerting. Andhra Pradesh has now implemented only two of the seven binding directives of the apex court, delivered in the Prakash Singh case on police reforms. The only other directive implemented by the State is that of setting up a Police Establishment Board (PEB) — which decides transfers, postings and promotions of officers of and below the rank of DSPs and transfers above the rank of DSPs. Other SC directives The other directives in State Government’s purview include a fixed two-year tenure to the chief of the police force; a minimum tenure of two years for SPs and SHOs; separation of investigation and law-and-order functions; setting up a Police Complaints Authority (PCA) at the State and district levels. The seventh directive — on setting a National Security Commission — is the responsibility of the Central government. The State government has chosen to maintain a studied silence on the other directives though the Supreme Court had recently asked all the States to file affidavits on its implementation. DGP’s case Interestingly, the government order (dated 29-09-2012) appointing DGP V. Dinesh Reddy does not make a specific mention about him having a fixed tenure of two years. Incidentally, when Tamil Nadu appointed K. Ramanujam as DGP, the State order too did not make a mention. However, a week later another GO was issued which specified that Mr. Ramanujam would have a fixed tenure of two years, irrespective of his date of superannuation. What makes Mr. Dinesh Reddy’s case interesting is that he would be attaining the age of superannuation on September 18, 2013 (date of birth September 18, 1953), and if the government goes by the apex court’s orders, he should be retiring only on September 29, 2014. Mr. Reddy was originally appointed DGP on June 30, 2011, but his appointment was set aside by the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) following a petition filed by another IPS officer challenging the order. Later, on the direction of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, the government chose him again as the DGP from a list of empanelled officers selected by the UPSC and issued the current orders on September 29, 2012. During the interregnum, he was the in-charge/officiating DGP.

UP Police: Locknow: एडीजी अरुण कुमार बोले, कुंडा डीएसपी को मारने वालों के खिलाफ सख्त कार्रवाई होगी.

प्रतापगढ़ : प्रदेश शासन के अपर पुलिस महानिदेशक कानून व्यवस्था अरुण कुमार ने कुंडा मामले में कहा कि पुलिस सख्त और निष्पक्ष कार्रवाई करेगी। सीओ को शहीद बताते हुए उन्होंने कहा कि दोषी पाए जाने वाले लोग चाहे जितने ताकतवर हों, वे बच नहीं सकेंगे। पुलिस लाइन में रविवार को सीओ जियाउल हक को अंतिम विदाई देने पहुंचे एडीजी ने पत्रकारों से बातचीत में कहा कि परिजनों ने पुलिस से जो उम्मीद जताई है, उस पर पुलिस खरी उतरेगी। घटनास्थल पर पुलिस तथ्य जुटा रही है। जांच पड़ताल जो नाम सामने आएंगे उन पर कार्रवाई से पुलिस नहीं हिचकेगी। बिना दबाव के कार्रवाई होगी। एडीजी ने कहा कि सीओ की हत्या गंभीर घटना है। इस पर शासन की सीधी नजर है। एडीजी जब पुलिस लाइन पहुंचे तो सबसे पहले सीओ की पत्नी परवीन आजाद से मिले। उनसे घटना के बाबत बातचीत की। सीओ की पत्नी ने उनसे साफ कहा कि उनकी पति की मौत यूं ही नहीं हुई है। उनकी हत्या की गई है। इस पर एडीजी ने उनको भी न्याय दिलाने का आश्वासन दिया। इस दौरान मौजूद आइजी आलोक शर्मा ने स्थानीय पुलिस के साथ ही प्रशासन के अधिकारियों से घटना के बाबत जानकारी ली और त्वरित कार्रवाई के आदेश दिए। इस दौरान कमिश्नर देवेश चतुर्वेदी, डीएम विद्या भूषण, एसपी अमेठी अलंकृता, एसपी सुलतानपुर किरन एस., एसडीएम संजय खत्री, कई सीओ और अन्य पुलिसकर्मी मौजूद रहे। LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh government on Monday evening recommended a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigation into the murder of circle officer (CO) Kunda Zia Ul Haq who was shot dead in Pratapgarh on Saturday night when he went to Balipur village to investigate the murder of a gram pradhan. The announcement came shortly after chief minister Akhilesh Yadav and his cabinet colleague Mohammed Azam Khan flew down to Deoria to meet the bereaved family and after the slain officer's widow Parveen Azad refused to allow the burial of her husband's body before an audience with the CM. Earlier in the morning, Akhilesh summoned his cabinet minister for food and civil supplies Raghuraj Pratap Singh to his official residence and sought his resignation from the post. The resignation was forwarded duly to Governor B L Joshi and he accepted it. Shortly after the CM left Deoria, mortal remains of the police officer were buried at the local graveyard after the final prayers (Namaz-e- Janaza), led by Shahi Imam of the Delhi Jama Mazjid Mulana Ahmed Bukhari, was offered. Though Bukhari had reached Deoria in the afternoon, he was held back on the district borders and allowed to visit the family only after the CM met the slain CO's family. The CM sought Raja Bhaiya's resignation after his name figured in the FIR lodged in connection with the murder of deputy superintendent of police (DySP) Zia Ul Haq on the complaint of Parveen Azad on Sunday. Apart from Raja Bhaiya, three of his known associates were also named as accused. Two of them, who were arrested on Sunday, were sent to jail on Monday. Shortly after his resignation, Raja Bhaiya called up on a number of ministers in Akhilesh cabinet and MLAs mostly of a particular caste and held closed doors meetings with them. This was seen as an attempt of Raja Bhaiya to garner support on caste lines in order to mount pressure on the government to soften its stand on the CO issue. Highly placed sources in SP said party president Mulayam Singh Yadav-in Delhi to attend parliament session-was keeping close watch on the developments. Sources said Mulayam was contemplating dispatching a team of his trusted aides among SP parliamentarians to Lucknow for crisis management. During the hour-long meeting with the family members of the cop, Akhilesh Yadav assured them all-out help of the government to bring the killers of Zia Ul Haq to book and soon. He conceded to all their demands including a government job to the CO's younger brother and one to his widow. He also handed over cheques worth Rs 25 lakh each to Zia's widow and father as ex gratia relief. He assured the family that all those named as accused in the FIR will be arrested and sent to jail when Parveen expressed her fears that state police may go slow in the case as it involved Raja Bhaiya. The CM agreed to recommend a CBI probe into the case. Pleading her case before the CM, Parveen broke down several times saying how her husband was anticipating something grievous. "He always apprehended being suspended but never ever thought things will reach such a point," she told the CM. Later, talking to TOI, Parveen confirmed she had appraised the CM of the circumstances in which her husband was killed. "My husband was probing the communal riots that took place in Pratapgarh a few months ago. He had shortlisted 140 persons involved actively in those riots and was under pressure to let off some of them. He had to submit his inquiry report on March 12, and was about to complete it," she told
