Subject: [Reader-list] Fake Encounters

Bastards in uniform. No match against Expert. And always anxious to prove their might using lathis and guns. As if, being powerful mandates use of force on powerless. The case of Ranbir Singh. Must have read on news. Every other day, we see cases of molestation, fake encounter etc. And police weilding lathis over innocent. As usual to keep force going, such acts are encouraged and defended withoutn any unconditional appology. If the entire story by DIG, SSP is true, a few questions remain unanswered.
a.. What provoked a guy without a past criminal record to Snatch a revolver and run, was it that he had his own, or was he being implicated under the lathi raaj? May be they got into an altercation, and a scuffle as a result, thence he had to run.
b. Under such circumstances what provoked a head on encounter?
Was there any threat to anybody's life or any warrant?
c. Why is Singh so much concerned and not the officers who made th actual encounter. Koi kissi ka saala hain kya?
Why did the department take the constable's words so seriously, and who were the men responsible for shooting orders? Is dehradun police not adequately equipped with interceptors etc.? May be he resisted, may be he asked for the kind a treatment a person deserves, and he was made a terorist. Wonder when all of us shall meet such deaths, as branded terorists. For example mobile theft business, invariably, the computer complaint is lodged after quite sometime, hours, I'd say, by that time presumably those who could not come in time the operation is done. For example, in mourice nagar area evn after a series of thefts in identifyiable pattern and densities in colleges, police could neither prevent recurrance, nor could crime branch recover a single mobile. Many a times police men find it difficult to accept the man in front is familiar with the 'road', and is looking into their eyes. Blatantly inabbriated, a little more explicit than drunk, what does it
matter if people call these men MAMU's. They'd rather be Goons and retain their only claim to fame. I do not say Ranbir was right(not an extortionist) or he was wrong. I say blatantly defending your lower officials can not be tolerated. And then if somebody even a senior citizen is unwilling and wants to reach inside any office or morgue, Kick him, and beat him, beat slim boys, men and women, but dare not take a head on with experts who have mastered the arts of Gun, empty hands or Sticks, it'd be lethal. After all, jitne jiyenge, utna, salaami! An Mba may be corrupt, extortion agent,  but has contacts and is intelligent enough to avoid an encounter, explicitly, who after all lodges an FIR against Forces, armed mob, what is use in such a blatant support. And ranbir was not a political goon, no need to take his cause. In my lingo, like thousand others, he's murdered, not only by singh, but the entire Police Department, and by the First Lady,
 who's presence, gave an alibi, and her ignorance, which hurt the
conscience of the society. What happens to a deaD man is not my concern that much, it seems pre-determined, inspite of media, thousands other go undetected. I'll pose one question, in such a scenario, with automatic armed men, does arms act have any social significance?
The state a silent spectre, and these men, not officers on duty,armed hoodlums, going on state-armed rampage.
