JAMMU Sept 3: While the recent custodial killing of cross border smuggler Sarfu is still fresh in the minds of the people, yet another example of police brutality has came to light from remote village Kas Blari of Tehsil Mendhar and district Poonch. 

According to a delegation which narrated its plight to the media, “On 25 August, five women of this village Kas Blari along with small children including infants who were depended on breast feed were allegedly taken into illegal detention for 26 hours by the SHO Mendhar, Gurmeet Singh and his aide Head Constable Dachan Singh unlawfully by imposing heavy charges of 307 and even not allowed her to perform religious rites of keeping Roza”.
 

Dr Shehzad while requesting justice for these woman has said that the only mistake which was committed by these women was that they rose their voice against the criminals who molested one of the women on August 23.
 

Victim Motian Bi dared to take on these criminal namely Ayaz Ahmed Mir and Maroof Ahmad. She made a complaint in police station Mendhar. But no action was taken by the police, aggrieved over the response of the police, Motian Bi being the victim has made a complaint with the judicial magistrate Mendhar seeking action against the culprits who molested her.
 

Responding to the application of the victim JM passed the direction to the SHO Mendhar Gurmeet Singh to take immediate action in the matter.
 

Pertinently the alleged criminal are also involved in another case where a person gulam Mustafa was assaulted by Ayaz Ahmed Mir and Mahmood Ahmad on August 20, this matter was also reported to the police station on August 21 but the SHO took no action on the issue.
 

Later the matter was reported to the SSP Poonch who again referred this to the SHO Mendhar Gurmeet Singh for necessary action.
 

Despite of the deputations of the villagers and the repeated instruction of the SSP, the corrupt and communal SHO did not take any action against these criminals.
 

The matter exceeds the limits when the corrupt SHO after allegedly accepting hefty amount as bribe hatched a conspiracy and despite of arresting the criminals, which assaulted the victims Gulam Mustafa and molested the female victim Motian Bi.
 

To daunt and to pressurize the complainants for withdraw their complaints against the above mentioned criminals fabricated two fake cases against them along their 19 family members filing charges U/S 307 and 353 against 24 family members.
 

It is pertinent to mention that the alleged SHO holds a figure of over a dozen complaints for violating human rights, misusing his position and power and even the illegal detention of citizens against him in every Police Post-Station where he has served.
 

“Despite of having serious allegations, why and how this inspector ranked Gurmeet Singh is always been deputed and posted as SHO consistently “People eagerly wants to know from the higher authorities.
 

Why don’t the authorities take the necessary action against him who oftenly found indulge in these kind inhuman deeds.
