Autry to Make Final Request fo
November 12, 2005 - Fresno Mayor Alan Autry is giving the city council one more chance to hire an independent police auditor.
Mayor Autry thinks it will re-assure the community about the integrity of the police department.
Opponents say it would be a waste of money.

HC seeks govt reply on CID cor
MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Thursday directed the state to file an affidavit in response to a PIL seeking to expose the corruption that’s embedded in the state CID.
With allegations made in the PIL against Pune police commissioner Jayant Umranikar while he was the then additional DGP of the state CID, the HC directed the petitioner, a voluntary group, Citizens’ Organisation for Public Opinion, formed by advocate Vineet Kanchan to make the police commissioner a party to the matter, so that he can be heard before passing any orders.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Swatanter Kumar and Justice D Y Chandrachud heard the petitioner’s lawyer Subhash Jha and asked him if he had impleaded Umranikar as a party.
The judges directed public prosecutor Usha Kejriwal to furnish the case papers relating to the corruption charges after two weeks in court. The court asked the Pune police chief to remain present in court on the next date, Kanchan’s lawyers said later.
The PIL cited two cases to highlight how state CID officers indulged in corrupt practices, while investigating cases.
The PIL in particular sought to show how Umranikar and his family had travelled to Delhi from Pune last April on air tickets bought by Sanjay Ranadive, a Pune resident, who runs a travel agency, after he was arrested by the state CID and sent to the Bund Garden police lock up in connection with a 2004 case.
The PIL details the case of Ranadive and states how the CID asked him to buy air tickets for their "top boss" to secure his bail. It also mentions the allegedly continuous demands of the CID officers, deputy superintendent of police V A Shinde and others made to him.
The PIL has sought directions from the high court to the ACB, Mumbai to conduct a probe in the complaints filed by Ranadive in June and July against the CID.
It also sought to direct the ACB to seize all papers concerning the travel documents of the former additional DIG of the state CID.
Reports of how CID officers were accepting money from persons they arrested had been appearing in the media and was even raised in the assembly earlier this year. This resulted in an anti-corruption case being registered against Shinde and two other CID officers.
