PRASHANT NARVEKAR
Manish Bane, 23, a resident of Thane, attempted suicide after he was allegedly harassed by a constable at Rabodi police station in Thane. Bane alleged that the constable has been harassing him for the past two years.
On Friday, a police van picked him up on instructions by the said constable and detained him. Fed up of the harassment Bane slashed his wrists with a blade. Bane, who lives with his family, says that he had an altercation with the constable two years ago after which he has been constantly harassed. Rutuja Sawant, Bane’s elder sister said, “My brother is a law-abiding citizen.

The constable has been after him since the time they had a minor tiff. Earlier, we had lodged a non cognisable complaint on this issue after he harassed my brother in the middle of the road a couple of times.” Bane, celebrating his 23 birthday on Friday, had returned home early. “He went out after some time to meet his friends who had come to wish him,” said Anjali Bane, his mother.
It was then that Manish was picked up by the police, said Anjali. “We rushed to the police station where we were told that Manish and the constable, who resides in the nearby building, had a fight half-an-hour ago. I told them Manish was at home at that time and it was not possible that he had a fight,” said Anjali.

"Corruption ... Let's fight NOW"
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=15904364654Rutuja said that the police picked up her brother without citing any reason and without having a warrant to detain him. “They even told their senior that Manish misbehaved with them and hit them. The senior was cooperative and asked his own men that if Manish had hit them, why did they not take action then and there. We lodged a complaint and got Manish home,” said Rutuja.
The family says that Manish was deeply traumatised by the incident and did not speak to anyone after he came home.
“He asked us why we had not done anything when he had repeatedly told them of the harassment. He then went out and returned shortly, going straight to his room. We later found out that he had bought a pack of blades and used one of them to slash his wrists. My mother spotted him lying on his bed with his hands bleeding. She raised an alarm and we rushed him to the hospital,” said Rutuja.
Suresh Angadi, senior police inspector of the Rabodi police station assured the family that he would look into the matter.
“We are investigating the matter. We will definitely take necessary action as the family has levelled allegations against one of our staff members,” said Angadi.
Angadi said that the constable was not allowed to speak to the press on this issue.

Bandra families beaten by cops
While they claim traffic police beat even their wives before their shocked children, officials say the men had acted ‘funny’
MUMBAI MIRROR BUREAU
In the early hours of Saturday, two families from Bandra and traffic policemen had an allegedly unpleasant run-in near Khar subway. A fight broke out between them, which resulted in the families, including two women, getting beaten up by the cops.
Restaurateur Farooq Khatri, his wife Nazneen and two children — four-yearold son Anas and a two-yearold daughter Anahita — had been travelling in a Mahindra Logan with their family friends Amit Singh, his wife and their two-year-old daughter. They had been returning from Khatri’s restaurant, Babloo’s Kitchen, in Goregaon after a late night dinner. When they neared Khar subway, they were stopped by the policemen who were checking motorists for drunken driving.

“They asked us to get out of the vehicle and demanded to see our driving license. The constables were aggressive and rude. My wife Nazneen got out of the car and told them to speak properly to us. But instead, the policemen started abusing us,” said Khatri.
“Then, when a constable came too close to Nazneen and pushed her, she lost her cool and slapped him. After that, the policemen let themselves loose on us. They pushed us to the ground and beat us mercilessly. Only one woman traffic cop tried to intervene and stop the onslaught,” alleged Khatri.
Khatri’s two children and Singh’s daughter meanwhile stood in a corner, too shocked to react. “My daughter received minor injuries. But seeing a huge crowd, the policemen left the scene and went to Khar police station. While we were trying to come to grips with the incident, officers from the police station arrived and took us all to the police station,” added Khatri.
The drama continued till early morning and an FIR was lodged against Khatri, Nazneen and Singh. However, the police only filed a NC (non-cognisable complaint) against the traffic policemen involved in the incident.
“We were not even drunk and had never imagined something as unpleasant could happen. We were produced in court on Saturday afternoon and thankfully our lawyer managed to get us bail,” said Khatri.
Sanjay Barve, joint commissioner of police, traffic said that the policemen were just doing their duty. “The men had acted funny and so the police lodged a complaint against them. We are looking into the case,” said Barve.

HC raps cops for shielding Chhota Rajan accomplice
Cops get flak for shoddy probe of Vickey Malhotra, a Chhota Rajan aide, who is a suspect in the Pawanraje Nimbalkar murder case
MUMBAI MIRROR BUREAU
Police on Saturday received flak from the Bombay High Court for shielding Vickey Malhotra, a Chhota Rajan aide who is a suspect in the Pawanraje Nimbalkar murder case. The HC while reserving its verdict in the case relating to the murder of Nimbalkar, a Congress leader from Navi Mumbai who was shot dead in 2005, has now directed the state to produce the entire case records from the police.The division bench made its displeasure known over the manner in which the investigation was carried out in the case by the police. While hearing submissions by the prosecution, the judges observed, “It seems your officials tried their best to protect the interests of this person (Malhotra). They have not even bothered to record the statements of officials who escorted him when he was taken out of Thane jail.” The court was hearing a petition filed by Pawanraje’s wife Anandibai, who last year had moved the HC seeking a CBI inquiry in the case. Nimbalkar and his driver were killed on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway near Kalamboli in Navi Mumbai in 2006. Anadibai in her petition alleged that the murder was a fall-out of political rivalry between her late husband and the NCP leader and former minister, Padamsinh Patil. The petition alleges that the police may be biased in the probe due to the possible involvement of influential politicians. Prior to the murder, Nimbalkar had sought police protection fearing a threat to his life from Patil.
While reserving the order, the HC asked the police to hand over the entire case record. Police had arrested one Tanaji Patil as a prime suspect and subjected him to a narco test during which he is supposed to have spoken about Padmasinha Patil’s involvement in the murder. He also allegedly hinted at the involvement of Chhota Rajan’s aides D K Rao and Vickey Malhotra. The police, however, say they did not find any “incriminating clues” against the former minister and his associates. Congress leader Pawanraje Nimbalkar and his driver were shot dead by unidentified persons on the highway at Kalamboli, Navi Mumbai, in 2006
