You can run but never hide from this cop

NAGPURr: He may not have the pizzazz of Tommy Lee Jones who tails Harrison Ford relentlessly in The Fugitive. But he has the same intensity and single minded determination to chase the culprits, some absconding since decades. Meet Suresh Shingote, a head constable attached to Lakadganj police, who epitomizes the long arm of law.
"Want a culprit in a case three decades old? Ask someone who is a decade older.."is the simple formula of this simpleton looking cop whose hallmark is his sincerity.Be in jail or in the grave, the cop managed to trace the culprits wanted in cases registered years ago. Shingote has arrested 188 accused and served 356 warrants this year itself. Eighteen accused Shingote arrested were wanted in cases that were more than a decade old. Some were wanted in offences registered more than 21 years ago.
Recently, Shingote and his team nabbed a man wanted in a theft that took place 29 years ago. The accused was nabbed despite shifting elsewhere. However, Shingote rates his arrest of a murder accused after 20 years ahead of other achievements. The accused, booked in 1989, was holed up in a factory on Kamptee road. Shingote chased the accomplice in a murder relentlessly until he was compelled to surrender before Sakkardara police in 2009.
Shingote's one-and-half year stint at Lakadganj police station brought him unique accolades. Deputy commissioner of police, Zone-III, Kishor Jadhav, discovering Shingote's accomplishments during service sheet upgradation, rewarded the 53-year-old head constable with Rs 3,500 cash for bringing even 35 year old cases to conclusion. Court could dispose of several cases due to sincere efforts of a seasoned man in khaki. Now Jadhav wants him to coach other cops in his ways.
Assigned the responsibility of serving summons and warrants, Shingote's job required him to trace out old addresses and culprits who had either jumped bail or whose cases were lingering in courts.
