(Express Archive) Rakesh Maria was appointed as the Mumbai Police Commissioner Saturday, a fortnight after his predecessor Satyapal Singh quit the post to join politics. Singh, the first serving Mumbai police chief to resign, was due to retire in 2015. The decision to appoint Maria, currently the chief of Maharashtra Police’s Anti- Terrorism Squad, was taken after a high-level meeting here chaired by Chavan and attended by Home Minister R R Patil.

Maria’s place at the ATS will be taken by Himanshu Roy, the joint commissioner of police (crime) in Mumbai who has now been promoted to the rank of additional director general. Mumbai police’s crime branch will now be headed by Sadanand Date, currently serving as the joint commissioner of police (law and order). Date’s place will be taken to Dhananjay Kamlakar. In all, 84 senior officers have been transferred in the latest reshuffle. Satish Mathur, K L Prasad and Vijay Kamble will take over as police commissioners of Pune, Navi Mumbai and Thane, respectively. During the past two weeks, ruling alliance partners Congress and NCP had been locked in a tug-of-war over the selection of the new Mumbai police chief. -

Arrested Theatre Activists at Risk of Torture
UA: 84/13 Index: ASA 20/016/2013 India Date: 5 April 2013 URGENT ACTION ARRESTED THEATRE ACTIVISTS AT RISK OF TORTURE Theatre activists Sheetal Sathe and Sachin Mali were arrested on 2 April 2013 on various charges, including criminal conspiracy and being part of a banned organization. They are being held in Mumbai, India and are at risk of torture or other ill-treatment. Sheetal Sathe and Sachin Mali are members of Kabir Kala Manch (KKM), a group which uses protest music and theatre to campaign on human rights issues, including dalit rights and caste-based violence and discrimination in the western Indian state of Maharashtra. On 17 April 2011 they were two of 15 people charged by the police under India’s principal anti-terror legislation of being members of, and supporting and recruiting people for, the Communist Party of India (Maoist) - a banned armed group fighting for more than a decade to overthrow elected governments in several Indian states. They also faced several criminal charges including extortion, forgery and impersonation. Seven people were arrested, while the others – including Sheetal Sathe and Sachin Mali, who are married to each other – could not be traced by the police until earlier this month. On 2 April 2013, Sheetal Sathe and Sachin Mali appeared before the legislative assembly of Maharashtra in what they said was a protest against the charges levelled against them. They were arrested by the Mumbai police and brought before a magistrate, who remanded Sheetal Sathe to judicial custody until 17 April, and Sachin Mali to police custody until 10 April. -

Machold, R. (2016) Learning from Israel? ‘26/11’ and the anti-politics of urban security governance. Security Dialogue, 47(4), pp. 275- 291.(doi:10.1177/0967010616645019) This is the author’s final accepted version. There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/171369/ Deposited on: 08 November 2018 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Learning from Israel? ‘26/11’ and the anti-politics of urban security governance Abstract This article calls for a greater emphasis on issues of politics and anti-politics within critical debates about transnational security governance in the metropolis. While scholars have documented the growing popularity of policy “models” and “best practices” in policing and urban security planning, we know little about what makes these schemes attractive to the officials who enroll them. I take the government of Maharashtra’s decision to “learn from Israel” following the 2008 Mumbai attacks (26/11) as an invitation to reevaluate the relationships between policymaking, politics and depoliticization. Focusing on references to Israeli security knowhow as a “best practice” by Maharashtra state officials, I explore how an association with Israel was used to negotiate conflicts and controversies that followed 26/11. The article has two aims. First, it addresses how transnational policy schemes work anti-politically within particular local contexts. Second, it locates counter-terrorism policy as a form of performative politics, which is generative of policy problems. -
