System-assisted escape
KARACHI: Police systems are designed to control and forestall crimes. A dysfunctional system, on a contrary, could do usually a opposite. Consider a following occurrence that took place in Karachi on Sep 30.
Three policemen were pushing dual suspected criminals behind to a Korangi Police Station after a justice hearing. The suspects had been taken to a justice for charges of murdering a policeman on Sep 20. On their approach behind to a military station, a dual suspected criminals captivated a police, murdering one and critically wounding a other. Both a suspected criminals managed to shun and usually one of them has been apprehended so far.
The military and a under-custody credit were travelling in a tiny private car. They were conjunction handcuffed nor restrained. The policeman who was pushing a automobile claimed this to be his personal vehicle. A discerning corroboration from a Excise and Taxation website, however, suggests that a car’s looseness image is purebred to someone else. The engine automobile taxation had not been paid for this automobile for a final one year. The arms used for murdering and wounding a dual policemen belonged to a same policeman who was during a steering wheel.
In a totally dysfunctional system, it is no warn that a criminals underneath control can simply shun after murdering their escorts. Why were a suspected criminals being carried in a private automobile instead of a restrained ride vehicle? Why were they not handcuffed? Did a criminals waylay a military officer’s central pistol or was it upheld on to them? How come a policeman claimed a automobile as his skill while a annals uncover a opposite ownership?
Nine military mobiles and scores of policemen chaperon a family members of a conduct of a domestic celebration in Karachi. In contrast, a killers of a policemen are carried unchained in tiny personal cars. Why is a military demure to remodel a complement that acts like a death-trap for 80-100 policemen in Karachi each year? The Sindh supervision ought to be hold obliged for rapist loosening on a partial — and for not needing a military to be eccentric of politics and politicians.
