Cops yet to work out sensational cases

COPS MAY boast of hounding the outlaws and forcing them to be on the run but they have not been able to cut any ice when it comes to working out sensational cases. Five months into this year and five awe inspiring cases have become a thorn in cop's flesh.

Remember the gypsy woman Benazeer's alleged kidnapping during Holi. Initially cops were reluctant to believe her husband's version but later on started looking for her and even claimed having sent out teams in her search. However, they again did a round about declaring she had not come to the city at all with her husband who, according to them, had cooked up the kidnapping theory. One cop even went to the extent of accusing her husband of having killed his beautiful wife. If the cops were right in what they were saying they should have grilled the husband or arrested him. Instead they allowed him to leave the city. Wasn’t all this to close the case, say people living on Thornhill Road. No body till date knows the whereabouts of Benazeer whose two-year-old son cries for the mother.

People in Balrampur locality are still wondering as to who were the miscreants who threw acid on former MLA Ramakant Misra who is still convalescing in a hospital in Delhi. In this case also cops had claimed to have formed teams which still appear to be groping in the dark.

All right minded citizens have not been able to digest the mysterious disappearance of a principal Udai Narain Tripathi. The family says he has been kidnapped. Cops too agree but have not been able to unravel the mystery. A resident of Shivkuti locality, the principal, according to the cops, owed a lot of money to people and was probably into some kind of a racket involving transfer and posting of teachers.

Some cops have not hesitated in even going to the extent of saying that the family knows his whereabouts but was not telling them. What to say about outlaws the cops have not been able to arrest one of their own men, a sub-inspector, Shatrughan Singh, who is at large after committing the cold blooded murder of a guard in a bungalow in Civil Lines. The latest incident of loot in which two trigger happy miscreants snatched Rs 2.50 lakh from the cashier and driver of a cement firm are yet to be identified and nabbed. However, cops have their own version. According to them they have identified the duo and they will be nabbed soon.
