Few days’ back my family was returning from a marriage reception in the late evening and suddenly a cop stopped us and asked for lift till his house. Logically that’s ridiculous but yet we did it as he has power. I visited Madurai meenakshi temple few months’ back where I bribed the security officer to get an instant darshan of God. Ethically that’s’ ridiculous but yet I did it because he has power. This may seem as a common thing in our day to day life, but the power of the cop in our country is really taking our country elsewhere.
The recent Nithari killings shook the nation when 26 skulls were found from Lalbagh in Murshidabad town during the excavation of a construction site. The children killed there were from a poor family background and immigrants. More to this, the sting operation carried by tehelka quotes, “The police was paid and were in cahoots with Moninder Singh Pandher. He financed AC IST Class fares and doled out favors. In turn, the law-keepers used powerful connections, even calling the chief minister’s brother to escape punishment. A cover-up is still on”. It is not just in Nithari that children were reported to have been sexually abused. A police constable allegedly raped a 17-year-old girl in Gorakhpur in UP last week. Just few weeks before Nithari killings were discovered, there was media follow up on how Adobe CEO’s son was kidnapped n then rescued. It is still a mystery in this case as whether police rescued him or his family really paid the ransom demanded by the kidnappers. The other major incident happened is J&K fake encounters, where in two senior police officers in connection with the fake encounter killings of at least three persons in the state. A report also says that 1,017 youths in J&K —either detained or arrested by the police—missing since 1990. The investigation is on.
The common people like me, the immigrants in Nithari, 17-year-old girl of Gorakhpur or people of Kashmir; all are the victims of khaki? The bribe, murder, rape, fake encounters, what does all these indicate…fence is eating the hedge……….?

Without reading only I can tell u that its boring..........
Shall we follow RDB, and the famous dialog of Sonia (Soha Ali Khan) "Mar do" we can't..i guess..
the only way to stop this is ... we all should stop bribing... initially we may feel problems but there should be national level sensus on the issue .. some thing called kranti or maybe styagrah..
I hope it will happen very soon.. because every where same thing is burning in mind of all of us..
hmm....Intresting.You started off with a Policeman taking lift and i thought wow intresting story to read on but never expected it would end like this ;)
Opens up the mind to think....
How far we can be successful depends on how many of us would like to follow the right path. And how many of us would like to take the administrative control to stop such activities...
As in RDB (rightly mentioned earlier), how many of us want to change the country? How many of us want to become administrative part of this country by joining IAS, IPS? Think yourself... You will find the answer... Positive or Negative???
Hope it is positive....
Keep up your writing Swapna...
