Olympics is going to start in Paris from 26th July. This time Indian players are expected to win more medals. Especially from our shooters. This time there are a total of 21 shooters in the Indian shooting team. But the sad thing is that despite their brilliant performance, not a single soldier or officer of UP Police got a chance to go to Paris to participate in the Olympics. Believe me, if the Indian Olympic Association had included some shooters from UP Police in its team, then some more medals were definitely assured. It would not have been surprising if gold had fallen into the bag.
Don’t make fun of it even if it’s a joke. Whatever they are saying is absolutely true. Whether it is the darkness of the night, or someone is running sideways, someone is on a motorcycle, or in a car, someone is standing, sitting, lying down, in whatever condition he is in and how far or near he is, Mazal What if he misses the target? The bullet will hit the leg only. And that too on a particular part of the foot. You may not believe it to be true, that is why let us know about this incident.
Thanedar narrated the story of the encounter
Let’s talk about Amroha. An Inspector is posted at Hasanpur police station of Amroha. Name is Deep Kumar Pant. He is narrating the story of a recent encounter. It is claimed that hardly any other policeman has told such a true story in one breath. What a shame Inspector Saheb would have put a comma or a full stop somewhere in the middle. He told everything in one breath for one minute and nine seconds.
3 characters in police story
There were three characters in his story. The same three boys sitting on a motorcycle. Three suspicious boys. When they were stopped, they opened fire on the police and in the retaliatory firing, one of the three got shot in his leg. This is the same Manoj Saini who got shot in the leg. Whereas the two more suspicious boys sitting on the motorcycle behind him are the same two. The name of one of them is Rohit and the other is Amit.
Brother of the injured criminal told the truth
Now, before taking the story of Inspector Saheb’s encounter forward, it will be necessary that Rohit and Amit also narrate their story. Also, the brother of Manoj who was shot also narrated his story on his behalf. Quickly listen to the brother who was shot in the leg. He told- He was sleeping at night, the police took him away. Was sleeping at night, police took him to the garden, got his photo taken, brought him back. This is the story.
The matter reached the court
Now the story progresses in such a way that after the encounter, Inspector Saheb presents all three in the court. Since according to their story all three had opened fire on the police, hence, along with other cases, the charge of attempt to murder is also imposed on these three. Now as soon as this case starts in the court, the judge also remembers the Olympic shooting. The judge is stunned to see this aim of the policemen in the dark of night.
Judge’s surprise
How can one aim so accurately in the dark? That too on foot. And what is even more amazing is that bullets are being fired from the front also. That is, from the side of the suspicious boys. They too are shooting in the dark. And his aim was so poor that even after touching a policeman, his bullet would miss the mark. The surprise of the judge had just begun when in the excitement of winning the medal in the case, the policemen even said that after the shooting, they had also inspected the spot in the dark. Three shell casings of the bullets that the miscreant boys had fired at the police team were also found from the spot.
Police could not answer the judge’s questions
The judge was very happy. Khushi asked, this is fine but where are the shells of the bullet which was fired by the police? The judge asked in a questioning tone that you guys had fired two rounds in self-defence. Got hit in one leg. A target was missed. But where did the shells of those two bullets go? Now Amroha police became sad. She said, Sir, due to darkness we could not find our kiosks. The judge was surprised that the shells of the bullets fired by the boys were found in the darkness, but how did the two shells of the bullets fired from the government 9 mm pistol escape the keen eye of the police?
The judge had understood the whole story.
Well the judge went ahead. Asked, the encounter was going on in the dark. Bullets were being fired from both sides. Your aim was amazing. Shot in the leg. But bullets were being fired from there also. There was darkness at night also. So was any policeman also injured? Got some scratches? The policeman is sad again. Said, no sir. Perhaps the judge had understood everything by now. After this he got angry and then he gave his decision.
The judge surprised me
A decision which has hardly been given by any judge of any court in the country in recent times. Within 24 hours of their arrest after the encounter, the judge ordered Rohit and Anil to be honorably discharged. Look amazing, the police had gone to the court to get the police remand of the three boys and the judge was giving the order to release them directly. Not only this, you should also know just a few lines of what he said in his historic decision.
strange, surprising and unnatural
Chief Judicial Magistrate of Amroha district Ompal Singh said in his decision- It is strange, surprising and unnatural that no police personnel got injured. It is also suspicious and unbelievable that two 9 mm shells fired by the police were not found at the alleged incident spot even after a thorough search. Injured Manoj Kumar was hit by a police bullet in his left leg. It is a matter of serious investigation as to where the second bullet went? And where did the two bullet casings go? The shells and cartridges of the accused were recovered but the police could not recover their shells. Due to which the authenticity of the incident is doubtful. Only accused Manoj Kumar was caught from the spot and the remaining two accused were arrested on July 16 from Gajraula Tiraha Hasanpur. From which there is no recovery. There were only four people in the police team. Whereas the number of accused has been mentioned as three. And no policeman was even scratched in the incident. In such a situation, the facts mentioned in the First Information Report and Case Diary are prima facie imaginary and unbelievable. Keeping in view the above facts and circumstances, it is not clear that an offense under Section 109 BNS has been committed against the three accused. Therefore, the remand prayer of the three accused under section 109 BNS is rejected.
police Story
So you know the whole story. Now let us explain the further story to you. Actually, Hasanpur police of Amroha had claimed that on the night of July 15, three suspicious boys were going on a motorcycle. When the police tried to stop them, they started running away. Then opened fire on the police. The police also opened fire in self-defence. One of them was shot in the leg and then all three were arrested. This was the police story.
real story of the incident
Now the real story was that the police had picked up all the three boys from their house on the night of the incident and then fabricated the entire story of their arrest, encounter and recovery. But the story was so weak that the judge did not believe it. That’s why they released him. But the question is, leaving aside this one decision in UP, how many such decisions have been taken regarding fake encounters? And the bigger question is that how many policemen involved in such fake encounters have been punished? Leave the rest, will the Amroha police involved in fake encounter get any punishment in this one case?
