Khour episode has exposed J&K Police at its ugliest: Harsh 'Pay Rs. 20 lac compensation to victim of rape' 5/21/2016 10:39:40 PM Early Times Report Jammu, May 21: Describing the Khour incident of rape and extortion as highly obnoxious and profligate, Harsh Dev Singh chairman JKNPP and former Minister has observed that the episode symbolized the most abominable decline in standards of probity and morality in Police force. He said that the mode and manner in which the Khour couple was abused, assaulted, humiliated, manhandled, tortured, sexploited and looted exposes the State police at its ugliest. Ridiculing the State govt. and the Police authorities for patting their back for having booked the delinquent SHO, Singh said that the common man was fast losing faith in the Police Deptt. whose monstrous and ruthless conduct had assumed alarming proportions over the years. He said Khour episode was only a tip of the ice berg and was exposed only because of the initiatives of an alert media and that there were several such incidents of rape, loot, murder etc. which had gone unnoticed or had been thrown under the carpet. Harsh Dev Singh said that the Police force was being looked upon as an indisciplined and notorious force and recognized more for its reign of terror, intimidations, revenge, coercion than its role as custodians of law and order. He said that with hundreds of untraced murders, unpunished rapes, extortions and the recent episode of rape and extortion by police epitomized the abysmal levels of integrity and probity in Police Deptt. He said that the likes of Khour case which reveal the horrendous face of the Police Force were so obnoxious as to squirm even the greatest of champions of Human Rights in their graves but regretted that the mandated leaders of Jammu including Ministers and legislators shamelessly kept mum. He said that when the security forces were falsely accused of having harassed a girl in Kashmir, the entire valley boiled with public outrage but the so called champions of Jammu refused to utter a word despite the most outrageous and barbaric conduct and sexploitation by Police in Jammu. Seeking a complete revamp of Police administration of the Police, Harsh Dev Singh further sought to know as to why only a selected few of the Police officers were repeatedly posted as SHOs, SDPOs and District Police Chiefs.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
