Man bashed up, fractures leg, cops order compromise
The UT police boasts of training its men in modern policing, but scratch the surface and you will see a force which is indifferent.
A 35-year-old man was brutally bashed up by one Ram Singh on Sunday night in Burail and was admitted to GMCH, Sector 32, with a broken leg. But all the police did was to exert pressure on him to strike a compromise with the accused.
"They said if I insist on registration of a case, they would have to arrest me also," said a dishevelled and frail-looking Balkar Singh, while talking to TOI.
Balkar Singh is from Nawanshahr and works in a dry-cleaning workshop in Burail and stays there only. Balkar's employer Sanjay Arora said he called the police on Sunday night after former's colleagues informed him about the incident.
He said police officials blatantly refused to register a case and told Balkar to sort out the matter amicably. "The police said they would register cross-cases and arrest all of us," he claimed.
Hope for justice flickered for the accused on Monday night after Arora lodged a complaint with the SSP and brought to his notice the apathy of Burail police officials. "A few police officers came to me after that and took my statement. They were changed men and assured action," Balkar said.
What provoked Ram Singh, who could not be reached for comments, to break his leg with a hockey stick is not known but he allegedly suspected Balkar of having illicit relations with a woman living there.
Sector 34 police station SHO Inspector PL Chauhan claimed the victim had agreed not to pursue the matter. "His employer has some problem with Ram Singh and that is why he changed his statement today," he said. It's another matter that cops have no power in a case as serious as this, to effect a compromise.
