Jammu, Mar. 05:
Demanding stern action against the brutal cops of Punjab Police who have been caught on camera assaulting a helpless young girl there in Taran Taran town of Punjab, a Jammu based RTI activist has approached the National Human Rights Commissing against the Punjab Police personnel. In his online petition to NHRC, activist Raman Sharma has sought the intervention of the Chairman of the Commission in this inhumane act. He has submitted, "In Tarantaran on 04.03.2013 three to four well build policemen surrounded a young girl and mercilessly beaten her on road with batons and slaps allegedly for her complaining against some ones for sexual harassment. Sir, these Policemen have crossed all the limits of humanity and a question mark is raised that are we living in a civilized country where such scenes and happenings defame country in the global world apart from causing sensational panic amongst the innocent citizens regarding brutality by goons in uniform? Beating of a girl, that too by male policemen, cannot be justified and allowed even if the victim may be at fault". The activist in his 9 points demand besides demanding termination of all the delinquent officers and arrest has also asked the NHRC chairman to place the concerned SSP under suspension for appointing such insensitive officers at public place who had no respect for citizens and the law. Sharma has also asked the Human Rights Panel Chairman to put the Director General of Punjab Police also on notice for not imparting human rights training to the officers who are deputed in Police Stations and other places of public dealing. The home secretary of the Punjab State should offer a public apology to the girl and ensure her security along with a suitable compensation for the harassment and brutality.
Raman has also urged the NHRC to issue a circular that if in future any policemen found indulged in such heinous crime of even touching a women or beating a women comes into notice his services would be terminated without any explanation. Human Rights law training should be made compulsory for all officers/official before their appointments at Police Stations or any other public dealing place.
