Suicide In a shocking incident a 25 years old woman named Sarita, committed suicide at the Haryana Police Headquarters in Panchkula on Monday June 9^th. It is said that she was allegedly raped by two policemen of Rohtak crime branch on April 10.She was being harassed by the police continually instead of registering a case against the culprits.

Victim Sarita had come to the office of the Additional General of Police (Law and Order) V B Singh along with her daughters to submit a written complaint. She submitted the written complaint alleging that she was raped by head constable Balraj Singh and constable Silk Ram and the police inaction against them. She alleged that when her husband was in police custody in case of a motorcycle theft she was called by both of policemen who raped her. But before submitting the complaint she had consumed some poisonous substance that she told to Mr. V B Singh.  

Police Inaction Speaking on condition of anonymity, a senior police officer told that Sunita had met SP, Rohtak and many other senior officers but instead of taking any action against the accused, police refused to register any case against them and they were even being shielded by it. No case was registered against them. It was only on May 31 that an FIR was registered against the two police officials on the basis of the complaint she had submitted to Additional General of Police (Law and Order) V B Singh on May 29.

Police’s ‘Force’ Police are for the ‘safety’ and ‘protection’ of the society. It is very much stuck to its motto. Even today it works for ‘safety’ and ‘protection’ of the ‘society’, the society of criminal elements. How whole of the police system of India can save the Indian society from the internal threats when it itself has become a threat. There was times when some police forces of some states were infamous for ‘fee’(bribe) but now it has become a preliminary course that maximum of the policemen do in the initial stages of their services but now the involvement of policemen in cases of murders, drug trafficking , abduction and many other criminal activities has become a common fact.

Overhauling If the present state of affairs continues then the Government of Indian will have to create another Police Force to investigate the ‘adventurous activities’ done by the policemen. Indian Police System is in such a dilapidated situation that it wants an overhauling at a huge level so that it can be purged from the impurities.
