Trust the Uttar Pradesh police to set new trends in barbarity and inhumanity every single time.......
50 year old Sittu a cobbler by profession learnt the same to his dismay and consternation when he went to Muzaffarnagar's Charthawal Police Station to register a missing complaint pertaining to the disappearance of his beloved and cherished mobile phone on the fateful morning of May 30; 2016......
Instead of registering his complaint; the writer on duty at the afore mentioned police began barraging and haranguing Sittu with a volley of totally irrelevant and unrelated questions pertaining to his caste and profession and subsequently issued a primeval diktat stating that Sittu's complaint would only be registered after he had polished both his as well as the other constables and officers shoes to their satisfaction........
What is even more galling and disconcerting is the fact that none of the police personnel manning the precincts of the now infamous police thana at the time offered or proffered to pay Sittu a single naya paisa for the services rendered by him in lieu of the much desired registration of his complaint and instead demanded their pound of flesh for performing the duty that they were being considerable sums of money for........
Their goose was however cooked when a gent who had entered the compound of the very same police chowki captured this grotesque incident on his mobile phone and uploaded the 90 or second video of Sittu's misery and haplessness on various social networking sites........
Lo and behold!!!! the afore mentioned video went "viral" within the batting of a proverbial eyelid and regular users of the very same social networking sites soon began trolling and panning the Uttar Pradesh Police and it's nocturnal or rather "eccentric" tendencies forcing the Senior Superintendent of Police to take due cognisance of the litany of acerbic comments as well as barrage of complaints about similar treatment being meted out to so called "lower caste denizens" who were demeaned and disgraced by these "protectors and enforcers" of the law who had ended up becoming a law unto themselves and the bane of the common man's existence........
As things stand at the present moment; the writer; four constables and sub-inspector of police who were more than willing accomplices in this hellish have been suspended and a departmental enquiry has also been ordered against them; they have also been asked to tender an unqualified and remorseful written apology to Sittu and give a written undertaking about refraining from such despicable acts throughout the remainder of their service tenures.......
Are these stereotyped; hackneyed and much abused measures punishment enough for the ignominy meted out to Sittu or then should these repeat offenders be sent packing without any pensionary or any other monetary benefits; I think I will reserve my comments on this one and let each one of you pass your very own judgements and verdicts on this vexatious issue/matter........
