Investigation, created newly as per the recommendation of

and went back to England on 8th June 1905. Charge of |
| |
the Railways and Criminal Investigation
was given to a senior Police Officer Mr. Michael Kennedy,
Superintendent of Police, Pune District, by promoting him
as Dy.Inspector General of Police. On the same day i.e. 8th

Historical Importance
of the Building of C.I.D. Headquarters, Pune |
| |
|
The building which houses
the State C.I.D. office near Sangam Bridge has
historical importance. Till 1928 it housed the
District Session Court. When the District Court
shifted to new premises at Shivajinagar, in November
1928, the old building was allotted to the State
C.I.D. During the British rule, the trial of the
renowned revolutionary, Late Shri Vasudev Balvant
Phadke and his comrades had been held in the main
building. He was sentenced to life imprisonment
in 1879 and deported to Eden where he breathed
his last in February 1883. |
 |
|
|
Vasudev Balvant Phadke's
resolve to fight the British found justification and
encouragement in the changing political scenario of
the Deccan region in Maharashtra.The State C.I.D. is planning
a memorial of this great freedom fighter in the historical
memories. The memorial will be inaugurated in 2005,
the centenary year of the State C.I.D.. |
