Look Out, Future Police!

Three IPS probationary beat up indiscriminately a father and son. The father was running a pan shop. The incident occurs over Re.1 extra on MRP of a cigarette packet. Father and son did not know they were policemen. If they knew the future consequences, the man would have kept quiet while they were beating up his son.

The IPS probationers who are undergoing training in the nearby Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy beat up the father and son indiscriminately. Unable to tolerate their highhandedness, the locals attacked those trainee officers - Keval Khurana, Anand Kumar Tiwari and Irshad.

The poor family never thought that a small argument for just Re 1 would ruin family. Even today the son could not forget the reign of terror unleashed by the IPS trainees on the fateful night.

Another fear is that the police may pick up the son at any moment as an attempt to murder case (Section 307 of IPC) was registered against him after the clash.

The police registered cases against the IPS trainees under Section 323 (beating with hands) and Section 427 (damaging property) of IPC. The slow pace of the case investigation had strengthened the suspicion that the police were trying to shield the probationers.

What will be the public's fate if they become an IPS officer? God knows but not a good sign for general public.
