Port Blair, Dec 22: In Bollywood masala movies Cop-heroes make an entry by tearing the posters apart and in Andaman and Nicobar Islands often Cops make an entry inside houses at late night tearing off the Bamboo Sheet walls of poor people.
On 19th December 2013 at R K Gram Diglipur a lady and her teenage daughter woke up to a rude shock. To their utter surprise they saw nearly 7 to 8 male police Jawans entered their house by tearing off the Bamboo Sheet walls of their house. When asked the reason behind such heinous act, the Police Jawans allegedly misbehaved with the lady and her daughter and verbally abused them.
It is believed that the Police team was looking for gamblers but instead of developing proper intelligence they broke into a house without permission that too at 10.30 pm.
According to a written complaint lodged to the Superintendent of Police of North and Middle Andaman by Mr. Deepak Biswas, the husband of the lady and owner of the house, after this incident, the family member approached Pradhan of the area and also the Samity Members.
But to his utter dismay when Mr. Deepak Biswas with a Samity Member of the area, reached Diglipur Police Station, the staffs of the station refused to lodge an FIR against those cops.
According to the Complaint even the SHO of PS Diglipur refused to register FIR and advised the victim family to compromise. This fact can be verified by examining the CCTV Camera footage of PS Diglipur, if those footages have not been deleted.
This is not a matter of punishing some cops or taking action against one particular SHO. This is matter of Justice. Those who suffered for the errant acts of Cops have full right to register a FIR against the cops. Moreover it is also about safety of lonely ladies who can easily become victims of miscreants in remote Islands.
