DURING
THE LAST FEW DECADES LAW AND JUDICIARY HAS ON THE WHOLE GOT REDUCED TO A MERE
FARCE. THIS IS APPARENT FROM THE MANNER
IN WHICH THE ENTIRE INSTITUTION OF LAW AND JUDICIARY IS FUNCTIONING AS OF
TODAY. CONTRARY TO THE CONCEPT OF THE POLICE FORCE BEING EARMARKED WITH A
RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE SECURITY TO LIVES AND PROPERTY OF PEOPLE AND CITIZENS
IN GENERAL, THE POLICE FORCE OF TODAY HAS GROSSLY MADE A DEPARTURE FROM THE
LAID DOWN NORMS TO MERELY IMPART A SEMBLANCE OF DECORATION TO AN OTHERWISE
INSECURE LIFE TO PEOPLE AND CITIZENS AND THAT TOO AT THE COST OF A HAPLESS
PEOPLE HAVING TO SUFFER IGNOMINOUS INSULT, ASSAULT AND THREATS TO THEIR LIVES.
DURING
THE BYGONE YEARS THE MUCH SPOKEN OF FORCE NAMELY THE DELHI
POLICE TOO HAVE CLIMBED DOWN TO A STATE OF EXTREMIST OUTLOOK BY PROJECTING THEMSELVES
IN THE FORM OF A MENACE TO PEOPLE AND THEIR SECURITY. DERELICTION OF DUTY BY THE ENTIRE FORCE
APART, DELHI
POLICE HAS EVEN SHED ITS ALLOTTED RESPONSIBILITIES TO ACTING THEIR MODE OF
EXTREMISM IN A VERY ALARMING MANNER.
THE UNION TERRITORY
OF DELHI
BESIDES BEING THE NATIONAL CAPITAL IS ALSO ONE AREA WHERE SECURITY OF PEOPLE
OUGHT TO BE THE PRIMARY OUTLOOK. GONE
ARE THE DAYS 1970’S WHEN DELHI POLICE USED TO BE KEPT ON TENDERHOOKS BY STUDENT
UNREST AND POPULAR UPRISING, HAVING TO GRAPPLE WITH SEVERAL INSTANCES OF HEINOUS
CRIME GRIPPING THE NATIONAL CAPITAL ON ALL FRONTS. FOR MANY DECADES AFTER INDIA ACHIEVED INDEPENDENCE , THE POLICE FORCE HAVE FOR LONG
BEEN KEPT ON THEIR TOES FOR ANY ALERT ON THE QUESTION OF SECURITY OF PEOPLE AND
NATION. HOWEVER, TODAY SUCH A SENSE OF
DEDICATION HAS MELTED AWAY IN THE PROCESS WITH PEOPLE AND AUTHORITIES ASSUMING
POSITIONS AND PROMOTIONS MERELY ON THE BASIS OF SENIORITY AND INFLUENCE. NOWHERE IS FOUND THAT SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY
AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, SO MUCH SO THE SUBORDINATES AND LOWER STAFF HAVE
THEMSELVES GOT INDUCED TO ACTING CRIMINAL AND THE ONES THAT HAVE TO BEAR THE
BRUNT OF EXTREMIST TENDENCIES AT THE HANDS OF POLICE FORCE ARE THE ORDINARY
PUBLIC THEMSELVES. AS A RESULT,
INSTANCES OF POLICE FORCE LETTING GO THEIR LOOSE TEMPER ON HAPLESS AND INNOCENT
CITIZENS HAVE BECOME A COMMON FEATURE AND THE CITIZENS FOR FEAR OF BEING
AVENGED FOR BRINGING THE MATTER TO THE NOTICE OF HIGHER AUTHORITIES GO ABOUT
THEIR DAILY CHORUS BEARING UP WITH THE BRUTALITIES BY THESE UNIFORMED MEN.
DURING
THE LAST FEW YEARS SEVERAL STEPS HAVE BEEN INITIATED BY THE DEPARTMENT TO
IMPROVISE ON THE MODUS OPERANDI OF GETTING AT THE CORE OF CRIME AND
PESTILENCE. THESE STEPS HAVE BEEN
FURTHER EMBELLISHED BY PROVIDING ENHANCED FACILITIES OR ADDITIONAL APPARATUS
FOR LEASHING CRIME IN AND AROUND THE CAPITAL.
IN LINE
WITH THE SAME DRIVE THE DEPARTMENT HAS EVEN INSTALLED MICROPHONES AND
LOUDSPEAKERS BLARING INTERMITTENT WARNINGS AT CORNERS AND CROSS-SECTIONS OF
ROADS WHERE LARGE NUMBER OF PUBLIC ARE BOUND TO FREQUENT. OVERALL WITH THE NOVEL WAYS OF TACKLING EXTREMISM AND
PUBLIC MENACE AND WITH A TRUMPED UP SECURITY ALLEGEDLY MADE TO ENHANCE THE
INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDED TO ENSURE SECURITY OF THE CAPITAL, THE CITY HAS TO A
LARGE EXTENT BECOME A PUBLIC NUISANCE WHERE EVEN THE UNIFORMED POLICE FIND IT
CONVENIENT TO OVERACT THEIR RESPECTIVE ROLES.
SO SHOULD NOT THE FORCE BE CALLED AN OUTLET IN TO A SO CALLED CONVENIENCE
– WHO CARES IF THE SAME CONVENIENCE BE TERMED AS PUBLIC OR OTHERWISE?
FAR FROM MAKING
DELHI AN IDEAL CAPITAL THE DELHI POLICE HAVE RESORTED TO INDULGING IN
HIGHHANDED BRUTAL ASSAULT, BEATING UP, SLAPPING OR CAUSING PHYSICAL INJURIES TO
VENDORS, PEOPLE AND CIVILIANS. SUCH GRAVE INJURIES BEING CAUSED ON THE OVERALL
LIVES OF PEOPLE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THESE
VENTURES BY UNIFORMED MEN MUST IMMEDIATELY STOP AND THE LAW ENFORCERS OUGHT TO
ACT WITH RESTRAINT BY NOT INDULGING IN ACTS WHEREBY INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO ARE
BREAD EARNERS TO INNOCENT FAMILIES ARE PENALIZED WITH HIGH-HANDED ATROCITIES METED
OUT TO PEOPLE TREKKING TO PLACES FAR AND NEAR.
FOR DELHI
POLICE THESE INNOCENT MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE THIEVES, CRIMINALS OR
HOOLIGANS. AND THE CRIMINALS - WELL, THEY FORM A LUCRATIVE SOURCE FOR THEIR
SIDE INCOME!
THE RECENT
FULFILLMENT OF HIGH-TECH APPARATUSES INCLUDING VEHICLES & MOTORCYCLES
ALLOTTED TO THE UNIFORMED MEN FOR ENHANCING THE ATTIRE OF THE POLICE FORCE HAS
OVERALL ENTHUSED THE POLICE PERSONNEL IN TO EXHIBITING A SHOW OF ARROGANCE.
IT
THEREFORE, REMAINS TO BE SEEN AS TO WHETHER DELHI POLICE ARE INCLINED TO CHANGING OVER A
NEW LEAF BY BRINGING ABOUT A SEMBLANCE OF ORDER WITHIN THEIR RANK AND FILE OR
SHOULD THE PUBLIC THINK IN TERMS OF PARALLELS?
Police force, in general, is becoming more
or less a menace for the people. Rather
than bringing about reform within people the nation is presently reeling under
instances of Police brutality and high handedness by these uniformed men. People mostly belonging to middle class
category are at times made to bear the brunt of these uniformed men whose very
presence is only multiplying instances of crime all over the country. Several instances of fake encounters or
police brutality which have time and again made headlines in newspapers have
only provided the media with the needed input but they have never brought about
a resolve or reform in the overall indulgences by law or in the daily lives of
people.
When the nation reels under pressure of
lack of security by general public, what grips the ordinary people with is a
fear psychosis as to where someone or the other might get pulled up by some
lurking police personnel for a fault that might only get conceived or concocted
by these erring uniformed men after they have dealt out their vengeful
attitude. Police Department in the
meanwhile deems it their exclusive right to project or propagate what according
to them would be acceptable to their superiors, to the ministry or the general
public as the best suited excuse, which in effect might as well be a deep
rooted conspiracy to escape wrath of law or punishment unto themselves.
On the whole, the activities of Police
Department in most states having reached a low ebb and is already evoking a
sense of detest by citizens of an independent India for whom the only solution
at being apprehended by law on one count or the other remains to be to accept
the fault they are faulted with by Policemen and endure the penalty or jail
till the clouds clear of their own. With
even the government sidelined by people and bodies, among which number includes
the courts too, every attempt to have segregated various bodies in to
autonomous institutions has made the task of streamlining procedures and
programs cumbersome, if not practically impossible. And when speaking of Police Personnel, the Delhi Police are no better
either.
Whether
or not the much touted high-tech Delhi Police force feels any sense of shame or
regret for excesses being committed by individuals and groups in uniform, this
writer personally feels this “extremely powerful band of ultra-modern high-tech
criminals” might soon be getting a taste of what public feels about their
extremist activities, which in effect is making Delhi more or less a den of
pestilence.
It
might as well turn out to be a highly intoxicating concept to be watching
extraordinary stunts being enacted from time to time by the Delhi Police Force
so much so, for the present day youngsters there would appear no better a
career to opt for than to be masters of a uniform, that too right in the heart
of the nation, which uniform the public would dread. With high-grade stunts that the Delhi Police
feel free to rehearse over a silent and docile public, the entire concept of
Police brutality could generate far more enthusiasm among younger generation of
people to the extent of their opting to join Delhi Police Force which appears
to be more lucrative whereby it provides a far more superior and attractive
option to lead a career of high-tech quality than even what cricket line or
film line has hitherto been offering.
Incidentally,
the “Crime Update” serial being broadcast at 7.30 pm on Sundays might be
construed as a novel vision by Delhi Police whereby the young minds get
educated free of cost in the great art of taking to crime for grabbing or
accumulating cheap bucks rather than screwing their eyes on to text books which
ultimately costs a great deal of stress or strain. Surely, a decade or two hence, Delhi might have scores of misguided elements – thanks to Delhi Police – who might
overtake even the ultras running around with AK47 for giving the general public
a harrowing time.
So,
come! Watch out for my blogs soon to hit
the net with as much and more of the fun-and-frolic by Delhi Police Force and
their activities for the nation and its people so that the nation could be a
better judge as to whether the public are themselves at fault for increasing
instances of crime and criminality or are the Delhi Police contributing
handsomely for educating people to take to wilder crimes to ultimately make
Delhi a safe haven for criminals and extremist elements?
In
the thick of things and as time progresses, day in and day out several
instances of such police brutality or atrocity might be taking place somewhere
in the capital or the other. There may
even be several instances of inconvenience being caused to public peace by
these very police personnel, which instances are not likely to come out in
print because they the media have to as a policy depend on the police for their
day to day inputs which might otherwise get suppressed under the guise of
vengeance or inconvenience.
This
writer was a witness to similar instances of Police brutality which might be of
interest to people with interest to know where Delhi Police force stands in the way of
public peace.
MOTORCYCLE
HR15A 7949
Policeman on Speeding Motorcycle No. HR15A 7949 – 7.30 PM
of 05.08.2013
Police Commissioner should appreciate that
a Senior Citizen at 64 has deemed it expedient to bring some of the rampant
irregularities indulged in by Police at various levels and areas of the
capital. This daredevilry by an elderly
person ought to be viewed as a stage where Police have lost the faith and
confidence of public at large for whose security the Police Department has been
set up and paid salaries which rarely any of the ordinary public running around
to escape being bullied by police and officials ever manage to achieve.
The one singular instance of this writer
himself experiencing the bullying tactic by a Haryanvi Policeman on the evening
of 5th August, 2013 at around 7.30 PM at the
Elevated Corridor of Surajmal Stadium end on Rohtak Road while he was crossing
the road should stand as an eye opener as to how an ordinary citizen or a poor
man would have to suffer at the hands of Police. It was the presence of mind that made this
writer to get past the Police man on Motorcycle HR15A 7949 rushing at high
speed towards Mundka-Tikari Border where he confronted the complainant.
After some altercation whereby the Man did
attempt to bully with his Haryanvi accent when this citizen pointed out
regarding the top speed drive that he was indulging in and thus committing a
grave error, the man immediately switched off the motor cycle as if to charge
on this citizen with his interrogatory “You tell me, at what speed should I
drive?” the presence of mind and a prompt reply made the man mollify to
uttering “Uncle, you would not lose anything by slowing down your pace for two
minutes”, as if to prompt that I was in the wrong whereas his driving at top
speed did not matter at all.
MOTOR CYCLE NO. DLF 4S BY
0380
Policeman on Motor Cycle NO. DLF 4S BY 0380 – Bulldozing
trolleys of vendors containing heaps of vegetables, fruits, coconuts etc.
shattering them all on the road in full view of public and creating nuisance of
highhanded uniform power on Monday the 14th October, 2013 at 7.30 PM
It
was a horrendous sight. And it was the first time ever this writer personally
witnessed a piece of highhandedness by Police force. With blood boiling to a state of
sensitiveness, the writer did not immediately intrude in to the mess that the
policeman was creating.
Location
and time happened to be between Bhootwali Gali and Nangloi crossing precisely
along the side of Janata Xray. This
happened on Monday the 14th October, 2013 at around 7.30 PM
The
Policeman was of medium built and around 35 years of age rushed in to tackle
the vendors and in his hurry to drive the vendors out of their positions
alongside the road started bulldozing with his motorcycle on to the trolleys of
vendors carrying their meager products like coconuts, vegetables, fruits and
started spilling them all on the road in full public view.
He
bulldozed his motorcycle on to the trolleys of vendors spilling their shopping
items of coconuts, vegetables, fruits all over the place. However, what did irritate this writer is the
manner in which he caught hold of one such vendor of about 23 years of age and
brutally thrashed, slapped and beat him up and banged him against a temporary
makeshift background wall. The writer
left immediately without waiting to watch all the atrocity by this Policeman.
DELHI POLICE GAINING IN NOTORIETY
CRIME UPDATE – A fake
show to trumpet competency
Delhi Police call it ‘Crime Up-date’ but
the criminals who hideously view it as an illustration of their own profession
call it odd stuff which hardly matches their caliber and expertise. So who in
reality who stands to gain from the “Crime Up-date” Sunday serial being aired
by Delhi Police
at around 7.30 p.m. on National Channel?
Obviously, the young children or the
common man who through its depiction of criminal acts and repeated time and
again to fill the time slot allotted manage to gain an insight in to the modus
operandi of criminal gangs operating round the clock not only in the National
Capital but all over the country and around the world as well.
This novel method of educating children on
how to take to crime might speak well of a crime prone society that might well
be within the reach of the present day youngsters who during their years of adolescence
or youth would not have to hanker after movies and serials depicting crime and
criminal plots. On the contrary these
very youngsters would then be vying for a cell within the Tihar or a reputation
that would supersede the Bunty chor status.
Surely, Delhi Police do deserve kudos for
the amount of social service being carried out by them with precision so that
the nation might soon be plaged by crimes of superior nature and the Delhi
Police would have enough reason to project their genuine complaint regarding
inadequacy of man power within the Police Department.
Delhi Police are gaining in
notoriety with every passing day and apart from the record indulgences by
police and their accomplices, corrupt dealings by these uniformed men are
already making the extremists look a tiny wee lot in terms of crime and
conspiracy.
There is need to set alarm
bells tolling the onset of a frightening era that might well give competition
to the extremists as well, so that the nation would need to call the army in
for perennial and round the clock service to quell a state of turmoil.
Police
force, in general, is becoming more or less a menace for the people. Rather than bringing about reform within
people the nation is presently reeling under instances of Police brutality and
high handedness by these uniformed men.
People mostly belonging to middle class are at times made to bear the
brunt of these uniformed men whose very presence is only multiplying instances
of crime all over the country.
Several
instances of fake encounters that have on most occasions meted out injustice to
people in the name of justice or natural deaths, have already had tremendous
repercussions on people and society.
Incidentally, the Police Department deems it their exclusive right to
act high handed without regard for norms and discipline.
Presently
the very name of Police Department is evoking a sense of detest by citizens of
an independent India . With the governments both at the Center as
also in the states having been sidelined by people, bodies and institutions,
the nation is already looking up at a period of irredeemable state of chaos and
pestilence.
No
wonder attempts by various governments to provide autonomy to departments and
institutions without regard for the need to segregate the centralized authority
of government, the very nature of rectifying areas of indiscipline and crime
has become cumbersome, if not totally impossible. With a Constitution already tampered with,
with as many and more amendments to its originality, the very task of
streamlining procedures and programs would only make law and legalities
cumbersome.
Police Department has earned infamous
reputation for scrupulously managing unscrupulousness in a manner that crime
has gone unabated whereby to any independent
observer it would appear that
the very department has been managing the growth graph of crime in the capital. The department has chosen particularly the
children of the land to learn crime from the serial ‘Crime Update’. Thanks to
the Police and Law Enforcing Department, today with ‘Crime Update’ in the air and
media manufacturing increased crime and criminality through scandalous
broadcast of dramatic crimes depicting the real life crimes, the department has
chosen not only the nation and its people but even the young minds to learn
crime and criminal ways. Good that the
Police Department will have enough occupation during the years ahead. And criminals would have their population trebling
if not overwhelmingly multiplying in speed and sophistication.
POLICE – LAW &
JUDICIARY – MUST MELT AWAY AND GENERAL PUBLIC MUST BE TRAINED TO LIVE A
DISCIPLINED LIFE
POLICE BRUTALITY HAS MAIMED
THE SOCIETY. POLICE HAVE BEEN ACTING BRUTAL AND SPREADING THEIR EVIL ON TO
INNOCENT CIVILIANS. POLICE STAND TO BE BLAMED FOR INCREASING NUMBER OF PEOPLE
TAKING TO AGGRESSIVE ACTS AND BRUTAL AND ATROCIOUS CRIMES IN LARGE NUMBERS.
STOP VANDALISM – ATROCITY –
BRUTALITY – MELT OUT OF PUBLIC SECURITY – GIVE PLACE TO REFORMS THROUGH PUBLIC
RESHUFFLE!
The
duty of Police for which they wear uniform and carry away a monthly heavy pay
packet is to secure an innocent environment for the public and innocent general
public going about in pursuit of their daily bread. Police is not expected to create hurdles for
these innocent have-nots as compared to heavily paid Police Force.
