Yet another unpardonable gaffe or then should I say case of criminal negligence involving the high and mighty Delhi Police has come to light and yet again highlighted their incompetence and utter disregard for precious human lives....... One may do well to recall that an inspector manning a Police Control Room (PCR) van had fired a bullet that lodged in the lower back of 19 year old Karan Pandey and ultimately cost him his life in the bargain........ As per the version of events put out by the infamous and highly compromised Delhi Police sources, they were in hot pursuit of a bikers gang in central Delhi on that fateful day of July 2013; when they were abruptly turned on by a group of some 30-35 youths who started pelting stones, missiles and other projectiles at the said PCR van........ Justifying the action and giving it official sanction, the communique put out by the Delhi Police further went on to say that the inspector who now finds himself in the dock for executing an only son, fired in self retaliation and the sudden swerving of the vehicle caused him to miss the tyre of the motorcycle and caused the lodging of the bullet in the deceased youths lower back............ A magisterial enquiry that was ordered into the above mentioned incident has not only raised serious doubts about the veracity of the Delhi Polices hollow and dubious claims but also concluded that the deceased Karan Pandey was not part of any known or then anonymous biker gang, but might have been in trace of a midnight snack in the company of a male friend........ In fact, the magistrate concerned has gone on to say that the entire incident of stone pelting alleged by the Delhi Police is not only shrouded by clouds of doubt, but also seems to be entirely implausible as the CCTV footage of the incident viewed by the magistrate and numerous witnesses statements conclusively negate the nefarious claims made by the Delhi Police about the supposed stone pelting........... The personnel conducting the enquiry minutely scrutinised and perused the footage obtained by nine cameras that were stationed in the area and come to the conclusion that the fact that the said inspector fired at the tyre of the allegedly fleeing vehicle is in dispute in the first place......... It further went on to ask why the right handed inspector who himself admitted the fact that he was accustomed to firing his service revolver with his right hand used his left hand to discharge the same on that fateful day (July 23,2013) and also further added that firing his revolver without the slightest provocation from a rapidly speeding and swerving vehicle not only endangered the life of the now deceased youth but also constitutes a glaring example of the polices high handedness and utter disregard for precious human lives.......... Heaving a huge sigh of relief and thanking the almighty grace of the good lord, the grieving mother of the murdered youth Manju Pandey said we have all along been maintaining the fact that my now decxeased son was murdered in cold blood by the Delhi Police and was never a part of any biker gang in the first place to begin with as alleged by the Delhi Police........ Our stand now stands vindicated by the conclusions drawn by the enquiry commission/ committee and our precious son has been cleared of the biker taint, we now hope that the courts of this country will mete out an exemplary punishment to my sons murderer thereby sending some cold crumbs of comfort our way.......... A five member team of specialists led by the New Delhi District Magistrate conducted and expedited this time bound enquiry and the report of the same has been duly submitted to the Lieutenant Governor, Delhi Police Commissioner and home ministry sources......... One only hopes and prays that this report shuts up those people who are showering encomiums on the highly compromised Delhi Police and singing paeans in its tainted glory, one is not exonerating the Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharti of all the grave charges levelled against him but only saying that the Delhi Polices version of events should be taken as anything but the holy grail..........
