A few days ago 9-year-old Komal was brutally hit by policemen. They had hit her for allegedly stealing 280 rupees. Is this humanity of the so-called police?
A day after the top cop of Uttar Pradesh camped at her home all day, trying to do damage control. After all this only two officers had been suspended and what about the others.
The sub inspector who actually hit her was sent to jail. His senior police was let off on bail. I am not able to understand that, what the morality of the so called policemen are having . The government has appointed them to protect, not to threat or beat. The child is of only nine years, what she knows about the stealing. If she accepted that she took the money, even though they don't have any right to beat the child like hell. This is ferociousness.
This inhuman treatment should be protested by all people and NGOs. The Child organization should protest against this inhumanity. I profoundly hurt with this incident. The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) wants to use this case as an example of how not to deal with children.
It's not that laws are not there to protect the children. Among others, India is a signatory of the UN Convention on Protection of Child Rights. The policemen need to be aware that children have rights too. Just saying sorry isn't enough. An FIR should be filed against these policemen.
