Port Blair, Jan 06: In a shocking development a Coast Guard Officer today pointed INSAS rifle on the forehead of a Police Officer at Arial Bay Jetty of Diglipur Island.
The matter took place this morning when a Police team reached the Jetty for completing a handing and taking over procedure of 96 Bangladeshi illegal migrants, who were caught by Coast Guest on Saturday night.
According to eye witnesses, Mr. Raja Nagendran, a Coast Guard Officer, who was the incharge of Coast Guard Vessel, C-145 started abusing two police Officers, who saluted the officer, without uniform.
Eye witnesses confirmed that the officer had used highly objectionable and abusive words for the police officers infront of everybody.
When S.I. Mr. Nasir objected to such abusive words, the Coast Guard Officer pointed INSAS on his forehead.
Due to this rift both the Police Officers Mr. R P Yadav and S.I Mr.Nasir left the Jetty without completing the handing and taking over procedure. The matter was immediately reported to higher authorities in Port Blair by both the Police Officers. However, the procedure was later completed by this evening.
This is not the first such incident, nearly one month back after an accident infront of INS Utkrosh Gate, a Naval Officer had allegedly threaten Public by saying that 1KM long road on the both side of INS Utkrosh, belongs to ANC and if they want they can shoot anyone in that area.
Such behaviour only shows that CINCAN has lost all control over his men, for which general public are suffering heavily.
On one had hundreds of boat people are reaching Andaman coast almost everyday, in rudderless dinghies, without being detected by Coast Guard, on the other hand the Coast Guard chief is busy in publishing photographs, clicked by him, in local newspaper. Moreover, all photographs published by the Coast Guard chief say clearly that those photos were clicked from some aircrafts, which are obviously defence aircrafts.
The CG Chief must clarify that instead of such heavy presence how boat people are reaching Andaman Coast by drifting? Why they are not detected by Coast Guard in most of the cases? A drifting boat can make hardly 2 knots in one hour. This means that if a boat can reach Andaman Coast by crossing 200 knots distance with 2 knot speed, then for nearly 100 hours (nearly four days) they remain undetected in sea by Coast Guard. With this one can understand that how much safe are we in A & N Islands.
The CINCAN must also review the entire matter immediately and publish a clarification, as pointing gun by ANC officers, shows that all is not well in Andaman Nicobar Command.
