To raise conviction rate, Goa forms review body
Panaji: To increase the conviction rate in the state, govt on Thursday constituted an Independent Review Authority, tasked with reviewing the evidence gathered during investigations for prosecution, and thereafter submitting recommendations. The home department said that the average conviction rate over the past two years was 64% in Goa. During that period, more than 5,000 criminal cases were registered in the state. In 2022, Goa police faced more acquittals than convictions in cases registered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code. National Crime Records Bureau statistics released in Dec 2023 showed that 452 persons were convicted in 2022 in Goa, while 1,283 were acquitted. To improve convictions in criminal cases, the state police decided to provide training to their investigation officers. They directed the prosecutor at the Police Training School to develop the necessary modules. The directorate of prosecution has suggested several ways in which investigations could be improved, including upgrading the expertise of investigation officers. In the last monsoon session of the Goa assembly, the opposition raised serious concerns over the conviction rate. In his reply, chief minister Pramod Sawant said that the conviction rate doubled in 2023 compared to the previous year. He said a 33% conviction rate was recorded in 2023 compared to 16% in the previous year. In 2023, a 22% reduction in the crime rate and a 90% detection rate were achieved, Sawant said.

Cop got Rs 35L salary in 12 years without training and never reporting to work
BHOPAL: In a bizarre incident, a police constable drew a salary of around Rs 35 lakh in 12 years, despite neither reporting for duty nor undergoing the mandatory training after his recruitment in 2011-2012. A native of central MP's Vidisha district, Abhishek was among those recruited as constables in the state police in 2011-12. He appeared at the Bhopal District Lines for joining much later than other constables of his batch. He was subsequently sent for mandatory training at the Police Training School in Sagar district after induction into the police force. However, instead of going for training, Abhishek went to his home in the neighbouring Vidisha district and neither underwent training nor reported for duty for 12 long years. During his entire period of undue absence from duty, he neither informed the department about it nor did he ever apply for leave, yet he managed to get the monthly salary for 12 long years. Abhishek then sent his service file through the speed post to Bhopal, citing ill health. Surprisingly, his service file was accepted by the department concerned in Bhopal without any verification, resulting in Abhishek receiving Rs 35 lakh as salary over the next 12 years. The shocking irregularity came to light in 2023, when service records were being reviewed as part of the mandatory exercise for the 10-year-time scale pay grade of the 2011-12 batch constables. 'The service record check revealed no rewards, no punishments and no duty records, which was outlandish. He (Abhishek) was summoned by the department's establishment branch, after which he finally appeared, making it clear he had not served the police even a single day,' said ACP-Bhopal Ankita Khaterkar, who is probing the matter. He has already returned Rs 1 lakh to the department and promised to pay back in instalments the salary drawn in 12 years. A departmental probe is underway.
