| Criminals, vandals being sheltered by unscrupulous officers: Harsh Dev | | | 
Early Times Report
Ramnagar, Sept 21: Alleging deterioration in law and order and fast increasing crime rate in Ramnagar, the activists of NPP led by Harsh Dev Singh, Chairman-JKNPP & former Minister held a massive protest outside Ramnagar Police Station today. The protesters took out a procession from main bazar which culminated at Police Station Ramnagar where the party leaders including Neelam Bhagat Chairperson BDC Parly Dhar, Shushma Devi Chairperson BDC Kulwanta and Des Raj Chairman BDC Ramnagar staged a dharna. The protestors raised slogans against local police accusing them of sheltering criminals, vandals and other gangsters for extraneous considerations and for other vested interests.
Speaking on the occasion, Harsh Dev Singh regretted that the Police had failed to take cognizance of the increased criminals’ activity in Ramnagar wherein the anti-social and other notorious characters had been allowed to operate with impunity. Alleging jungle raj in Ramnagar, he said that with more than a dozen cases of murders having gone untraced in the past Jfew years, the said Tehsil had earned the most dubious notoriety in crime. “With majority of the cases pertaining to murders/mysterious deaths of people belonging to underprivileged and other weaker sections, the marginalized classes in particular were fast losing faith in present set up. And despite massive public outrage, the police had failed to trace even a single murder case”, lamented Singh.
Alleging a deep rooted nexus between a section of Police and politically protected and financially sound criminals, Singh regretted that the common man felt most insecure and lived in an atmosphere of fear and terror. “It was most distressing to note that Dalit community in particular was being targeted with none to even listen to their complaints. There were several episodes wherein Dalit males and females were physically assaulted, abused, threatened, maltreated and victimized by ‘goonda’ elements enjoying political patronage but their complaints had been summarily rejected by the Police for reasons best known. |
