Yes, we all have guessed right. I am talking about The Police. The police which is suppose to guard us from an unforeseen crime. If not guard us, then protect us from known criminals and similar threats.
If not protect us, then at least investigate to conclusion after the crime has been done upon the unfortunate. If not investigate, then at least listen and register to our complaints.
In reality, for most of the public, nothing actually happens. It is largely a traumatic, unforgetful experience for those who have the misfortune of forced visiting a police station. It's the victim of the crime, who is at the receiving end, as if the extreme trauma of the crime is not enough.
The first thing you witness is the obscene greed. Doesn't matter one has lost a purse, has a house burgled, has a dear one kidnapped or killed, or one is simply harassed - just pay up. Not that this will help solve your case. It is just an arrangement to stop yourself getting harassed.
The other thing which these so called guardians of society unleash upon the innocents is the blatant display of their unlimited power. It doesn't take much reason or time for them to make a criminal out of a victim and vice-versa. Only the God can help those who cross the path of a COP wrong way.
As if that was not enough, we have this now not-so-shocking news of the rape of a 17 year old girl by a police constable. Actually, shocking was the fact that this was done for two hours, in broad daylight(at 4.30 pm), at the one of the most busiest location (Marine Drive), in a city(Mumbai) whose denizens never fall short of shouting their claim of it being the safest city in the country.
What was even more shocking was the fact that victim's two "friends" literally disappeared from the scene. Friend indeed. I am not exaggerating, but had I been in their place, at the age of 17 or 71, I feel no emotion in expressing that I would have killed that man.
This is not one-off incident. Twenty days back, another constable in Borivalli, Mumbai raped a girl from his building. Two months back, another drunken constable had beaten to death a MBA graduate for not paying the wrongly inflated autorikshaw fare.
Life and a woman's honour comes so easy, my friends. That too, by a police that considers itself second only to Scotland Yard. Birds of same feather flock together. These policemen do that too. This rapist had a history of minor crimes. Still, he was on the job. This time, it stretched too far. Public outcry insured that. Whether he will be convicted, that is another story.
