We all read in the news about the Goa Express train mishap near Mathura. Everyone is blaming on the drivers of the Goa Express train and his negligent driving. But the true story is that the Mewar Express(to which the Goa Express was rammed) was stopped in between two stations because of the chain pulled by someone.
The news says "The Uttar Pradesh police has registered a case against 'unknown persons' after it emerged that the Mewar Express had come to a sudden halt because the emergency chain was pulled, following which the Goa Express rammed into it, killing 22 people."
In Kota (Rajasthan), Additional Superintendent of Police, Bhupendra Sahu, refused to comment on whether an escape attempt by a criminal on the train led to the accident but added, "All the three officials involved in the incident have been suspended and an inquiry has been ordered."
The office of Senior Superintendent of Police, Mathura City, had earlier said it has received two separate complaints -- one relating to the train accident and the other being that of an accused escaping from custody of Rajasthan policemen.
It is alleged that Munna Sazid, an accused in a robbery case, was being taken from Kota to the national capital by the Delhi-bound Mewar Express for a hearing in a Tees Hazari court. He was being accompanied by three police constables of Rajasthan Police -- Ashok Kumar, Veerendra and Bahadur. At the Mathura station, Sazid asked for permission to go to toilet.
As soon as the train started gaining speed, he pushed one of the constables and jumped from the train prompting the police officials to pull the chain to bring it to halt, according to the complaint.

Our police department should be shameful .. 2 major problems with India are 1) Khaaki 2) Khaadi ... unfortunately these are the people who represent India.

ReplyDeleteSince from our childhood we are taught "Dont poke nose in others matters" I think its high time we start preaching the fact that every public matter even if not related to you DIRECTLY is a matter of you me and everyone who falls in the AAM AADMI category. Because for the rich and celebrities we have police .. politicians .. we have helicopter pickups for VVIPs as medical aids ... but for you and me its you and me only. Dont panic on this ... because fortunately YOU and ME form 80% of India. Think about it.
