Three ghastly incidents that shocked the nation!

Three uncivilized events that happened in Nepal within a month or so perhaps should have sent spine-chilling waves among the national population. The incidents in essence were created by the Nepali policemen. The otherwise "gentle"' police of this country appears to have gone wild and sexy as well. Two occurrences are related to the barbaric sexual acts of the policemen. And the last one is connected to a loot calculatedly organized by the policemen right in the heart of the town only last week.

The first case: A minor girl, 6 years, was forced by the police to an act of "oral sex". This created furore among the national population. The nation demanded appropriate actions against the police man but till now no report has come out suggesting that the "culprit in uniform" has been duly penalized. Just consider the mental torture which the parents primarily and the men of that particular society generally had to undergo after this hair raising event.

The second event occurred in Kathmandu. Three young boys were beaten near Kantipath and their valuables all pocketed by the police men supposedly on duty to take care of the citizens during the evening. As if this were not enough, the same police bands comes to the Police quarter located just in front of the "Royal Palace" and again "officially" continue the process of beating mercilessly. The boys who had been looted by the supposed "protectors" had gone to report to the police post about the cruel episode what they minutes ago had to face or say withstand. But the manner the police men who looted the boys began kicking more severely the "affected ones" right inside the police post leaves nothing to be told against the miscreants that is the policemen. The three boys will take some months perhaps to get themselves cured. However, the affected ones and the lay men at large will perhaps never forget this event. Till now, what has been given to understand that those three nefarious "official looters" have been suspended and that penal actions would be initiated against them if "found" guilty.

This event that occurred right here in the Capital of the Kingdom must have jolted the people of the nation from within and offered them all to rethink on the "credibility" of the police system as it stood today.

The third event is still more frightening. Only last week a married women, Kamala Bhujel, in the Mahottari district was summarily abducted by two drunken Policemen and carried to a lonely place in the vicinity of the police post itself. Of the two, the number one sexy police man forced Kamala for an "intercourse". The lady out of terror and panic began shouting for help. During this time the other police man who was waiting for his chance for a rape of the hapless women was standing few meters away. The police men at the police post heard the lady's cries and thinking that some Maoists might have created this panic started firing in the direction from where the lady's cries emanated. Fortunately, the policeman who was lying on the ground with the lady for the act of rape got wounded during the firing. However, the other police man who was waiting for his turn for the pleasure of the rape was saved.

The two police men have been reportedly suspended. What penal actions would be taken to those two ruffians is still unclear.

All these three separate events put together perhaps are sufficient to equate the terror of the State Police men in uniforms with those of the Maoists. The Maoists have yet not been reported of committing such heinous crimes. The national population is living under the threat of both. More so the days have become pretty dangerous for minors and the women folks to protect themselves from the men in uniforms who have been recruited by the State for protecting the lives of the common men. One survey had it that with the advent of summer season, Nepalese people become more sexy. Albeit this is summer season and hence some more rape cases could be read .

It is time that the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Achyut Krishna Kharel, acquires a tough posture against such miscreants and penalizes them as per the laws of the Police and help save the ever sliding prestige and the credibility of the force which he commands now. It is your turn to act Mr. Kharel.
