On 24th Feb, the killing of 5 bank robbery suspects in police encounter came as a great surprise to me, not because of the incident but it was rightly predicted by my husband on 21st Feb. Soon after the IOB bank robbery he said that there might be some police encounter in the coming week. Kudos to him for the right sync with the political trends.
Any time after some serious/sensitive offense has happened, it has become common for us to expect an police encounter.To us that is just and the end of the issue.And the human rights people raising their concerns are highly irresponsible and a joke, in our opinion.How good is that idea?
Damn bad, if we get into this case -
On 11.11.2006, a suspect Ramnarayan was killed in an police encounter at Nana-nani park at Versova, Northern Mumbai. It was said that the police had gone to the spot based on certain information about the accused w.r.t an FIR filed in Versova Police Station and when they asked the accused to surrender, he tried to kill the policemen and he has been shot in retaliation.
He will not be our concern, after all he is a criminal and the police shot.So what? Yes but only if we know the real fact of the case -
Ramnarayan Gupta(deceased) and his friend Janardan Bange who were once close and working as real estate agents for Govt acquisition, had some differences over business interest and it is alleged that Janardan had hired few policemen to kill Ramnarayan.On 11.11.2006 Ramnarayan was abducted near a shop at Vashi, along with his friend, by around 4 well built persons in a Qualis car.
Within few minutes of abduction, Ramnarayan's brother who is an practicing advocate, felt something is wrong and sent telegrams to the police commissioner of Thane, complaining that his brother and his friend has been abducted by people who looks like policemen and that their lives are in danger.
On the same day Ramnarayan was killed and his body been thrown at Nana-nani park, Versova.After some time the police had collected the body and made it look like an encounter.An FIR was also created at Versova Police Station.Ramnarayan's friend who is an witness has been detained and kept in police custody for around one month after the incident in three different police stations.His wife who gave a missing complaint in Vashi police station was forced to withdraw the complaint.
Ramnarayan's brother, on 15.11.2006, has got the direction from the High Court to register a case w.r.t his brother's death.During the investigation and inquiry by the Metropolitan Magistrate it is found that Janardhan, Pradip Sharma(an Inspector who is an 'encounter specialist') along with another person entered into conspiracy to kill Ramnarayan due to personal enmity.Many other police officers and criminals were also involved in the case.
It is alleged that it is a clear case of fake encounter where police officers acted as a contract killers.Denying their bail, the Supreme Court came down heavily on the accused and raised concerns as 'this case reveals to what grisly depths our society has descended'.
It is one such case which came to light due to the effort of the deceased brother.Not every case has someone taking such effort.That is where the Human Rights activists plays a major role.We, the common people who gets carried away by the emotional aspect of few cases, are making a big mistake by undermining the efforts of the human rights activists.
Let us be honest and think, apart from a few 'like' in facebook for some social cause what have we really done to address any social issues.If these sites are to be monitored and actions been taken for such views/ support, how many of us are dare to continue our opinion/ comments on the social issues?It is easy to comment and criticise but do we have any better option and are we ready to take a single step out of our home to work for it?
What ever the small changes the human rights activists make in few peoples' life are the outcome of many great effort and sacrifices.Let us stop demotivating them!
