PANJIM: Civil society activists have now jumped onto the disgraced police sub-inspector Sunil Gudlar’s bandwagon. In all 13 civil society activists have filed a complaint of corruption with the Crime Branch against Gudlar, who was caught on the tapes selling drugs to two foreigners on the tapes.
“Such glaring and shocking contravention of law has taken place in the hands of a person who is appointed to enforce the law, and has abused his power and position conferred upon him,” Kashinath Shetye and 12 others has said in the police complaint.
The complaint which is also forwarded to Anti Narcotic Cell (ANC) and Vigilance Department has mentioned that there is no crime or First Information Report (FIR) filed in this case till now.
PSI Sunil Gudlar is facing inquiry into a sting video telecast by a local channel showing him negotiating with two foreigner girls over selling packet of drugs at an undisclosed destination. Police are yet to take action against Gudlar, who was shunted from ANC to Security branch recently.
The complainants have demanded to book Gudlar under Prevention of Corruption Act, Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and the Indian Penal Code (IPC) including theft of drugs from the police godown.
In a series of three video tapes, Gudlar is seen talking to the unidentified girls about him paying bribes to his seniors. Alleging further, the complainants have accused Crime Branch of turning a blind eye to the illegalities of former ANC PSI Guddler and his seniors.
“The video is said to have been shot four months back when (Superintendent of Police) Veenu Bansal was heading the ANC,” the complaint letter reads. Police spokesperson SP (Special Branch) Atmaram Deshpande, when contacted said that they have not registered a case yet.
Indian Penal Code is nothing but a joke to the Goan justice system. One has to see the number of criminals being set free either due to lack of evidence or by in- competent judicial system. Goa needs to distance itself from the Indian judicial system and rewrite the Code naming it "Goan Penal Gode"
ReplyDeleteIt is not the IPC that is to be blamed. It is the Goa Police and the CID branch who deliberately manipulate evidence to result in acquittal. That is another nexus where they get money.
ReplyDeleteThe current nexus of Politicians-Police-Criminals has in fact grown in size in the recent years. All evils are entwined together. Politicians save criminals, police save politicians, politicians save police. This is a new TRIANGLE in Goa where common man is jammed and squeezed in-between. We, a few Goans those who are crumb eaters and political suckers has brought this state on ourselves. Many of us must strive to change the mindset of those infected people. Doing so, we will gradually get rid of this rising cancer that is ruining Goa. Stop electing the same faces. Stop electing the kith and kin of these old politicians and Chors. Stop eating political crumbs. Stop accepting money to vote. Identify moral and immoral things done by these destroyers of Goa, reject them and their functions and avoid praise singing of these false messiahs. It can surely bring in a big change.
ReplyDeleteUse RTI Act and keep the fools away. Let not the Government offices fool you by telling bullshit, fight for your right. Stay away from the criminals, drugs and drug pushers. Make sure your children are under your watch so they will not get influenced by the present running culture of Goa.
