Lucknow. During the riots in Unnao, big questions have arisen regarding the professional efficiency of policemen. The way the policemen were seen defending themselves with the help of baskets and stools, the department is getting a lot of disgrace. The opposition is also attacking about it. Even after the famous Bikaru incident of Kanpur, questions are also being raised about the policemen not taking any lessons.
In view of the seriousness of this episode, DGP Hitesh Chandra Awasthi has called for clarification from Unnao SP Anand Kulkarni in this matter. The SP has been asked how such a big mistake happened. It is believed that action can also be taken against the top officials of Unnao Police in the matter.
It was only after the famous Bikaru incident of Kanpur that DGP Hitesh Chandra Awasthi had given strict instructions for the policemen to be fully equipped with all safety equipment during the raid and peacekeeping duty. Strict instructions were also given to the police officers of all the districts to ensure compliance in all cases. Instructions were issued several times from the DGP headquarters level regarding this, but it did not have any effect on the district police. The incident of Unnao is the latest example of this.
After the death of two people in an accident in Unnao on Tuesday, there was anger among the villagers, but the local police officers could not understand the situation. On Wednesday, when there was nuisance and stone pelting during the demonstration by keeping the dead body, then the police’s preparation got exposed. The DGP has taken this very seriously and has also asked senior officers to evaluate all aspects.
