Memoir: A cop like Maria!

-

“The journey of a Bandra boy from wearing chappals and playing cricket in the streets to becoming an IPS officer and police commissioner of Mumbai is like a dream come true”. These words spoken by Rakesh Maria on the day he took charge as police chief of Mumbai are still echoing in my ears.  That was one of the most joyous moment for Maria and that time nobody had a thought that his dream will culminate in such an distasteful manner. I am personally saddened by the treatment meted out to Maria by Maharashtra government. An officer who has given so much to the city didn’t deserve such conduct at the zenith of his glorious career. Most of crime journalists who have seen Maria for years have certain observations to make and events to remember. I too have a few. When I commenced my career as a tv journo in 1999, Rakesh Maria was chief of railway police, which was equivalent to the rank of additional commissioner in Mumbai police. During past 16 years, I have been able to s...

Bombay Number 3. (Memoirs of a Mumbai Boy)

(This is first of the series on old Mumbai.The series focusses on various aspects of the megapolis encompassing its social life, politics, crime and transformation.) 1979. It was one of those years when the cold war was at its worst. Soviet Union had invaded Afghanistan , the aggressive stances of US President Ronald Reagan & British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher fuelled the fears of a third world war and the deadly arms race assured to destroy the globe multiple times. Newspapers were full of scary stories and the intellectual class talked about the perils of war. Whole world got divided into two power blocs. Although, India claimed to be a founding member of Non-Aligned Movement, its proximity towards Soviet Union was evident. It was in this year that I was born, unaware of what was happening in the world where I just entered. I grew up in Masjid Bunder area of Mumbai which too just like a new born was neither bothered nor aware of the World politics…because Masjid Bunder ...

हिंदू आतंकवाद - नांदेड धमाके से मिले थे संकेत

-
हिंदू आतंकवाद अपने पैर पसार रहा है ये बात एटीएस और सीबीआई जैसी जांच एजेंसियों को साल 2006 में ही पता चल गई थी। उस वक्त नांदेड में हुए बम धमाके की तहकीकात में ही ये बात साफ हो गई थी कि कई कट्टरपंथी एक समुदाय विशेष को निशाना बनाने की तैयारी कर रहे हैं, लेकिन उस घटना से हासिल जानकारी को अनदेखा किया गया और नतीजतन कट्टरपंथी अपने मंसूबे में कामियाब हो गये। इसका सबूत है नांदेड धमाके के एक गवाह का बयान, जिसके मुताबिक उसने नागपुर के भोसला मिलिटरी स्कूल में कट्टरपंथियों की ट्रेनिंग देखी और पाया कि युवाओं में नफरत का जहर भरने में फौज और आईबी के पूर्व अफसर भी साथ दे रहे थे। ये बयान है नांदेड धमाके के गवाह समतकुमार भाटे का जो उन्होने एटीएस को दिया था। भाटे फिलीपिंस की लडाकू कला शॉर्ट स्टिक के जानकार हैं। साल 2000 में उन्हें बजरंग दल की ओर से बुलावा आया कि भाटे उनके कार्यकर्ताओं को भी इस कला कि ट्रेनिंग दें। ट्रेनिंग का ठिकाना था नागपुर का भोसला मिलिट्री स्कूल। भाटे ट्रेनिंग के लिये चले तो गये, लेकिन वहां जाकर उन्होने जो कुछ भी देखा उसने उन्हे हिलाकर रख दिया।) “ मई 2000 में मैं बजरंग दल के शिविर मे...
