Read the news in the link given here -- It's shameful!!!
I feel ashamed of the whole incident. It should make the whole society feel ashamed - at least everyone in this state of Uttar Pradesh where law and order has gone for a six.
The incident made me wonder as to which type of society we are heading, where people have no fear of law, where the law abiding citizens have to go through such harrowing experiences but where the criminals roam freely with their heads high!!!
Three constables (One of the lowest ranks in the Indian police, who are recruited directly by the state governments) tried to run over a woman officer from Indian Police Services (IPS) (who are selected through an all India level examination). The officer, who became a victim of these barbarian male cops, was not only a woman, she was also their senior.
It is significant to note that the incident has taken place in a state, which is ruled by a woman. However, the government has done its duty by suspending the constables, who are absconding. It is pertinent to mention here that in suspension a government employee gets half his salary. As usual the constables would remain in the hiding for a while till everyone has forgotten the incident and would then resume their duties as nothing has happened.
What I feel is that such impertinent and animal-like people - whether they are in the government jobs or in the private services - should immediately be chucked out of jobs with adverse entries in their service records. Besides, they should be given some strict punishment restricting others to dare similar actions.
But this is purely a wishful thinking as I am sure it will never be the case - at least not in this state of Uttar Pradesh. In this state, the government employees and the politician are above all laws. They can mistreat anyone, misbehave with anyone, beat anyone, damage anyone's property, or even kill anyone and can simply walk away.
The vehicles ferrying government officers and their families use pressure horns (which are legally banned) and give mental pressure to so many. The vehicles of politicians jump the traffic signals and cause traffic chaos and hazards for others. The big lorries involved in transporting the construction material required for the monuments and memorials of the government kill at
least one person (including school going children) on a daily basis.
The vehicles, which are carrying either the government officials or the politicians, now also the high court judges, intimidate the law-abiding commuters on the road - who generally follow the traffic rules. The vehicles of politicians and bureaucrats are - as a rule - never park their vehicles in the parking. Hit and run is a routine formula for government vehicles.
But none of these people have ever been punished. No action has been taken against these law breakers.
It's people like you and me whose cars are lifted by the traffic cops because once in a blue moon we do not park in the parking lot. We have to face the legal case if we by chance get involved in an accident. We are fined for having a dark solar filming in our cars while all the politicians go out freely in jet black filming.
These bureaucrats and politicians have given patronage to their subordinates, who are simply following their bosses and indulging in all sorts of illegal activities. This patronage has given courage to the lowest of the lows ranks to dare mistreat even their seniors. They know that law has got nothing to do with them as they are beyond these legalities which are for the lesser mortals, like us.
I don't think even these constables would be punished hard enough (suspension is not punishment) for their crime!
