Without flogging police won't improve. All of them should be tied to the nearest lamp post and flogged. This is no relief neither is this punishment.
Delhi police frame mason, HC lashes out
New Delhi: After 19 years of battling false cases and spending more than two years in jail, there’s justice at last for a poor mason and his family. The Delhi HC on Thursday asked police commissioner Y S Dadhwal to apologize to the victim on behalf of his force which had foisted as many as 18 false cases on him and ordered a compensation of Rs 6 lakh to paid to the man.
“The court directs the police commissioner to send within two weeks a written apology to the victim, Prempal, and each of his family members, on behalf of Delhi police for the suffering they have had to undergo at the hands of the police,’’ Justice Muralidhar ruled.
Prempal’s is a shocking story of the police abusing their powers. The mason apparently became a marked man because he chose to complain against harassment by cops when he was first framed. The HC has now asked the police to review all criminal cases pending against Prempal, who has been acquitted after full trial in 13 of the 18 cases. He told court the cops had falsely registered 18 criminal cases, including a rape case, against him between 1991 to 2007. TNN
