Ludhiana, May 16 A head constable has been booked for allegedly trying to snatch money from a city resident on Friday. The incident occurred last night.

It has been learnt that around 10 pm, Chander Shekhar was coming out of an ATM of Allahabad Bank on Chandigarh Road after withdrawing Rs 5,000.

As he was about to leave for his home in Sector 32, constable Janak Raj hitched a ride from him.

Shekhar readily agreed but mid-way, the policeman allegedly tried to snatch the money from him.

Shekhar raised the alarm and people gathered on the spot. Eyewitnesses claimed that the head constable tried to pressurise them saying he was from the Division Number 7 police station and that he would get them arrested in a false case.

Raj was finally handed over to the police. The police have recorded the statements of the accused head constable.

No answer as none is ready to bell the cat. by Balbir Singh Sooch, Advocate, Ludhiana on 17 May 2008

Though the eye witnesses or culprit and criminal would never dare to speak as to why such incidents of snatching and taking bribe from citizens being an open practice from top to bottom in the most corrupt but responsible for providing justice and marinating law and order departments in the country especially in Punjab? Petty policemen heard by passer-by saying and justifying their similar illegal open act after pocketing Rupees 300 from a migrant labourer that each policeman is forced and bound to pay to his respective head minimum Rupees 70 daily to remain posted at a particular place of choice for the fixed tenure otherwise his fate and service is not guaranteed by his superiors. From this, it is not difficult to understand level of corruption and other crimes etc as how these are sponsored and supported from bottom to top in India. Is there any solution in sight of the sponsored State terrorism, evil of all evils including terrorism? No answer as none is ready to bell the cat.
