Nagpur, India: In a rare show of speed and efficiency, the Sadar Police in Nagpur filed a chargesheet within just 15 hours of registering a molestation case. The accused, a 47-year-old man, allegedly molested a woman and threatened her with the release of a private video if she reported the incident.
The case was registered under the new provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Upon receiving the complaint, the police acted swiftly, arresting the accused and launching an immediate investigation. The team, led by Senior Inspector Manish Thakre, included PSI Sadiya Somankar, Nilesh Ghogare, and several other officers who worked through the night to gather statements, collect digital and medical evidence, and compile the chargesheet.
According to officials, the swift action was taken to ensure justice and send a strong message against crimes targeting women. The chargesheet was filed with the magistrate’s court within 15 hours of the complaint, marking one of the fastest investigations in a molestation case in the city.
This is not the first time Nagpur Police have acted promptly. Similar rapid chargesheet filings have been done recently by Beltarodi and New Kamptee Police, who submitted chargesheets within 13 and 19 hours respectively in separate cases.
Police officials stated that such prompt actions are helping reduce crime and build public trust. They also credited the quick filing of chargesheets with contributing to a noticeable decline in rape and molestation cases across Nagpur.
The accused remains in custody as legal proceedings move forward.
