चार्ज लेते समय थानेदार ने अपने और सभी पुलिसवालों के लिए सख्त नियम बना दिए थे

यूपी पुलिस हमेशा अपने उलटे सीधे कारनामों के लिए चर्चा में बनी रहती है. लेकिन क्या आपने कभी सुना है कि किसी थानेदार ने अपने ही थाने में अपने ही खिलाफ शिकायत दर्ज की हो? मामला मेरठ के खरखोदा थाने का है.  एक थानेदार ने अपने काम में लापरवाही मानते हुए अपने ही थाने की जीडी (जनरल डायरी) में अपने खिलाफ शिकायत दर्ज कर डाली. मामला सामने आने के बाद पुलिस महकमे में यह घटना चर्चा का विषय बनी हुई है.

राजेंद्र त्यागी मेरठ के थाना खरखौदा के थानाध्यक्ष हैं. उन्होंने कुछ दिन पहले ही थाने का चार्ज लिया है. चार्ज लेते समय थानेदार ने अपने और सभी पुलिसवालों के लिए सख्त नियम बना दिए थे कि किसी भी क्षेत्र में चोरी होने पर उस क्षेत्र के बीट कॉन्स्टेबल की जिम्मेदारी होगी. लूट होने पर बीट कॉन्सटेबल और इलाके के हल्का प्रभारी या फिर चौकी प्रभारी (दरोगा) की जिम्मेदारी होगी.

डकैती, गौहत्या या हत्या जैसे अपराध होने पर उसकी जिम्मेदारी बीट कॉन्स्टेबल, दरोगा और खुद थानाध्यक्ष की होगी. जिसकी भी लापरवाही पाई जाएगी, उसके खिलाफ थाने के खास रिकॉर्ड जीडी में शिकायत दर्ज की जाएगी. अगर यह लापरवाही दो बार से ज्यादा पाई गई, तो उस पुलिसकर्मी चाहे वह खुद थानाध्यक्ष ही क्यों न हो, उसकी शिकायत आला अफसरों को भेजी जाएगी. इसके बाद आला अफसर उस पर कार्रवाई करेंगे.

खरखौदा के थाना अध्यक्ष राजेंद्र त्यागी ने बताया कि थाने में उनके चार्ज लेने के बाद से अबतक उनके क्षेत्र में छह छोटी-छोटी चोरियां हो चुकी हैं जिनमें उन्होंने 6 कांस्टेबल के खिलाफ जीडी में शिकायत दर्ज की है. लेकिन आज उनके क्षेत्र में गौहत्या हुई जिसमें बीट कांस्टेबल, दरोगा और खुद को जिम्मेदार मानते हुए  उन्होंने अपने ही थाने के जीडी में अपने, बीट कांस्टेबल अनिल तेवतिया, दरोगा प्रेम प्रकाश, एसआई चंद किशोर, रात्रि प्रभारी दरोगा सुनील, कॉन्स्टेबल आजाद और नीलेश के खिलाफ जीडी में शिकायत दर्ज की है.

State finance minister Amit Mitra on Thursday called BJP national president Amit Shah as the “frontal face” of a “military outfit and terrorist” party who had no business to comment on Bengal and chief minister Mamata Banerjee who has a long history of relentless struggle and a national political stature.

Mr Shah lashed out at Miss Banerjee and alleged that there was utter lawlessness and misrule in Bengal during his two-day trip to the state.

“The person who is accusing our government of violence belongs to the party whose leader issues life threat. That particular BJP leader had said that he would send people to crematorium. What kind of language is this?” Mr Mitra questioned at a Press conference in Nabanna.

Mr Mitra said he was shocked by Mr Shah’ audacity in attacking Miss Banerjee by her name. “Being a newcomer in Parliament how could he (read Shah) comment on Miss Banerjee who has served as seven-term MP. People of Bengal have full faith on her and would not spare anyone for speaking against Miss Banerjee. BJP is a rioteer’s party with no political history or credibility,” he said.

On Mr Shah’s call to oust Trinamul Congress from Bengal, Mr Mitra said that the BJP leaders will have to go back to Gujarat as their days in Delhi was numbered. Mr Mitra said that the party does not understand the culture of Bengal and will not only be rejected by the people of this state but by the people of the entire country and it will finally be forced to return to Gujarat only to face similar rejection there.

Mr Mitra said that the fact that has pained him most was that Mr Shah told people that West Bengal had gone down to be known as bomb making factory where people get to hear the sound of bombs and not Rabindra Sangeet. Mr Shah was insulting Bengal and its people who take pride in its culture and Tagore, Mr Mitra added.

He said that the lawlessness at Mr Shah’s rallies speak out about the indiscipline and infighting in BJP. Earlier during the day, Mr Shah had said that Miss Banerjee was depriving people of the state by not accepting the health insurance scheme of the Modi government.

Mr Shah had claimed that the state had received higher allocation in the 14th Finance Commission than that in 13th Finance Commission (during Congress). He had also attacked the Trinamul Congress government’s campaign on development by saying development had only benefitted the Trinamul Congress henchmen and not the common people.

In response, Mr Mitra called Mr Shah a “liar” and questioned him as to why the Modi government had stalled 38 social welfare schemes and cut down its share of grant in 28 others. “Had there been no growth then how come the Centre handed over six awards to Bengal for governance?”

Mr Mitra asked adding that the state had also received 31 Skotch awards recently. Mr Mitra said that unlike its predecessors, Trinamul Congress-led government spends 40 per cent of its total borrowings on undertaking development work. There has been a 8.5 times growth in capital expenditure and bureaucrats from others states visit Bengal to learn about e-governance and growth in infrastructure, he added.
