JAIPUR: In a case where men in khakhi showed the way to goons, four
policemen, including a SHO, who had been put under protective custody
after a Dalit youth died while being interrogated by them at Guda
Engla police station of Pali district recently, have fled.
The district police's "best team" of officials is after them since
they were reported missing from police lines on July 14, but the
accused policemen have managed to remain elusive.
The four policemen were among the six who had been suspended and put
under protective custody at police lines after they allegedly detained
one Rahul Kumar (20). Rahul died allegedly in police custody.
"Due to the public anger and murder case lodged against the six
policemen, we had ordered an enquiry into the incident. If the charge
is proved, we would have arrested them. To keep them under watch, they
had been placed under protective custody," SP, Pali, Ajay Pal said.
He added the four of them are missing since the day after they were
detained on July 13.
Chief minister Ashok Gehlot had ordered an administrative inquiry as
well as a magisterial inquiry into the incident. He also ordered
immediate suspension of SHO Bharat Dewasi and five other policemen. A
compensation of Rs 7 lakh, an LIG category house for the family and a
government job to one of the family members of the deceased have also
been announced.
Hundreds of people gathered at the district collectorate and demanded
action against the staff of the Gudha Engla police station and
demanded compensation for the family.
"We have put together our best team of police officials to trace the
four men. We hope to nab them soon," the officer said.
A senior officer has been suspended due to the negligence. "The
responsibility of keeping watch on the six policemen was on the DySP
Budhadev. He has been suspended for negligence," the officer added.
It is believed the district police tried its best to cover up the
report of the policemen's escape, but as it came out on Friday,
angering local people.
