Seemanth, Labhu Ram taken to task for errant subordinates

September 24, 2011

Mangalore, September 24: City police chief Seemanth Kumar Singh and Dakshina Kannada SP Labhu Ram came in the crosshairs of Karnataka State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) which ticked them off for their failure to keep a check on errant subordinates. SHRC chairperson S R Nayak in particular was peeved at failure of city police in detecting the double murder case of a mother and daughter and a cab driver and repeated instances of moral policing here.

Chairing a public grievances hearing here on Saturday, Nayak took exception to the 'alleged' high-handed behaviour of police inspector Ravish Nayak in beating up Prem Michael Crasta at the behest of a zilla panchayat member. He instructed Seemanth to initiate action against the official. When P B DSa of PUCL complained that police were targeting innocents in the Panjimogaru double murder case, Nayak sought an explanation from Seemanth.

"We are trying our best to deal with the case," Seemanth said, adding that it was not a murder for gain. When DSa persisted that police were trying to browbeat youths into confessing their involvement in the murder, Nayak said, "I will instruct my IGP to hold a thorough probe in to the incident." Seemanth later told STOI that he had instructed DCP (Crime) M Muthuraya to submit a report into the incident of police atrocities at the earliest.

When DSa said state government despite directives from SHRC had failed to take action against heads of police units in case of instances of moral policing, and drew attention of Nayak to a recent incident at Someshwar involving Bajrang Dal cadre, Nayak admonished Seemanth. "Crack down on any such troublemakers and do not allow them to sprout on our land, known for peace, and lest the secular fabric of the nation is torn into pieces," he said.

When leaders from SC/ST organizations prodded Nayak on slow pace of investigations in to murder of Goverdhan, a dalit cab driver, and alleged that police were slow in dealing with instances of murder of Dalits, Nayak remarked: "Such apathy does not augur well for any policing unit, especially since it deals with marginalized sections of society." He asked the SP to keep tabs on his officers who harassed innocents and coerced confessions out of them.
