NGP News- Citizens watch as womencops foil robbery attempt
NAGPUR TOI NEWS : Two women constables, attached to Wadi police station, braved the knives of robbers and challenged them near Japanese Garden Chowk on Friday evening while the passers-by chose to remain mute spectators. Valiant efforts of women constables thwarted the robbers' bid to loot a bank collection agent. However, they could not be caught for want of support from citizens.
Constable Rekha Kawadkar, the sole bread-earner of the family, was returning home at Police Line Takli on her scooter when she spotted a man being pinned down on the ground by three youngsters and assaulted with knife.
Bank agent Ashok Gornani was returning home at Jaripatka with Rs30,000 when he was intercepted by three armed robbers on two bikes. Though cash was saved due to the brave women constables' efforts, Gornani sustained serious injuries on head.
Apart from Kawadkar, her colleague from Wadi police station Pradnya Wasnik too tried to nab the robbers but citizens did not react to her appeals for assistance. Kawadkar, after having fought the robbers, also attended to the injured Gornani, covering his wounds with clothes.
Curious citizens, who often blame police for failing to act, refused to help when Kawadkar pounced on robbers. The robbers were stunned by the sudden intervention of the courageous woman in uniform.
"I could not shirk my responsibility as the police in me motivated to fight robbers," said Kawadkar whose sense of duty also reflects in family life as she chose to remain a spinster to get her sisters married in the absence of father.
Wasnik too was heading home when she saw her colleague fighting the miscreants. She rushed in support of Kawadkar and tried to chase the robbers. Kawadkar informed her senior PI MM Bodke at Wadi police station who alerted his counterparts in Gittikhadan.
