Special Commissioner (Law and Order), Delhi Police, Deepak Mishra, may be proud of the department’s initiative to curb street crime by introducing an extensive system of barricades in the city, the ground reality says, that the network of barricades may be doing little except causing traffic snarls.
Interrogations in the double murder case of minor siblings in Mandawli has revealed that the three conspirators in the crime (Amit Singh, Pankaj Kashyap and Shivam Gupta) moved from their Millennium Park hideout, where they were holding the kidnapped children, towards Pragati Maidan, after they failed in their first attempt to kill the duo.
The group, along with the their two young victims, apparently walked the five kilometre stretch between the two points, but surprisingly, Delhi police failed to nab them in spite of the barricades. This even after a written complaint about the missing children had been filed by the victims’ mother Yogita at the Mandawli police station on 26 February, along with the minors’ photographs.
Not only this. Deputy commissioner of police (East), Prabhakar, has told the media that a call was received by the police control room from a passerby who noticed two bodies lying near the railway track that were being chewed on by street animals. It is clearly a miss by the Delhi police that no cop is assigned theduty to keep a check near the railway tracks.
The bodies were dumped at the place on 26 February, the same day that the children were kidnapped. The bodies lay there till Saturday, when the police finally recovered them in a decomposed state.
In recent editions of Millennium Post, the careless behaviour of cops whohave been assigned the duty of manning the barricades, have been repeatedly reported. At most of the places, the cops have been found busy gossiping with their colleagues or else they have been absent from their post of duty altogether.
