Nirbhaya Master Plan Set To Roll Out for Women and Child Safety in Nagpur Nagpur is set to implement its first comprehensive roadmap for women and child safety, known as the Nirbhaya Master Plan, which is nearing completion and expected to be launched within days. The initiative is being spearheaded by Commissioner of Police Vishwas Nangre Patil, who previously oversaw similar women-centric policing programs during his tenure as IG of Kolhapur Range and Joint Commissioner of Police in Mumbai. The plan aims to enhance safety for women and girls through a combination of technological advancements, community engagement, and stricter enforcement measures. A key component of the plan involves identifying crime hotspots and vulnerable locations, such as isolated areas and city outskirts, using data-driven analysis to monitor incidents against women. Regular updates will be provided to ensure timely responses to emerging threats. To address these concerns, every police station will establish dedicated women’s patrol teams and women help desks, ensuring prompt assistance and support for victims. The initiative also emphasizes proactive intervention rather than reactive measures. Police will take swift action against repeat offenders, particularly those targeting young girls or involved in incidents like flashing, as seen in areas such as Hudkeshwar and Rana Pratap Nagar. Measures include summoning and counseling the families of offenders, alongside the application of stringent laws such as the Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities (MPDA) Act. The plan further mandates close monitoring of women’s hostels, schools, colleges, and workplaces, with special deployments and preventive actions at the police station level.#nagpur #hudkeshwar #rana_pratap_nagar #vishwas_nangre_patil #nirbhaya_master_plan
Serial Flasher Nabbed After Brief Chase, 2-Year Harassment Saga Ends A 28-year-old gig worker, identified as Khomdeo Patle alias Kartik, was arrested after a short chase by Rana Pratap Nagar police in Nagpur following a two-year ordeal of stalking and flashing at women. Patle, who resides in Jaitala Road, operated as a school van driver during the day while engaging in his alleged misconduct after midnight. Police confirmed that he targeted women in areas such as Ambazari Garden, Hingna Point, Padole Square, Shankar Nagar, Jaitala Road, Somalwada, Sonegaon, IT Park, and LAD Square. Patle allegedly covered his face with a cloth while riding a scooter alongside women, sometimes intercepting his targets to expose his genitals. Multiple cases were registered against him at Rana Pratap Nagar, Ambazari, and Bajaj Nagar police stations, but he evaded capture for years. On March 24, he reportedly chased two women in their mid-twenties on Jaitala Road, drove alongside them, and flashed at them. When they raised an alarm, he fled toward Sim Takli. Similar incidents occurred near IT Park, where he targeted two women on a scooter. Days before his arrest, Patle allegedly accosted two women near LAD Square. One of the victims confronted him, leading to a scuffle during which her clothes were torn before he escaped. Police stated that sustained efforts over the past two years finally led to a breakthrough. A special team was formed two months ago under the supervision of zonal DCP Rishikesh Reddy and senior inspector Pankaj Bondse, including constables Ankush Kanojiya, Ajay Dhurve, and Pravin Masram. Earlier attempts, such as a decoy operation involving a woman officer, failed as he managed to escape. Investigators identified Patle’s scooter based on victims’ descriptions.#nagpur #khomdeo_patle #rana_pratap_nagar #jaitala_road #lad_square
