Shocker: Uttar Pradesh DIG endorses honour killing

May 9, 2012

honorLucknow, May 9: A top police official of Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday openly advocated honour killing. The incident took place in Prabudh Nagar district where the deputy inspector general (DIG) of Saharanpur range, Satish Kumar Mathur, had gone for a routine inspection of police stations and review law and order situation.

One Shaukeen Mohammad, a resident of Kaserwa village of Prabudh Nagar district, approached the DIG with the request to help him find his missing daughter. But Shaukeen was shocked when the DIG told him to kill his daughter if she has eloped with somebody

Shaukeen's 14-year-old daughter was allegedly abducted one-and-a-half-month ago by the musclemen in his village. The harried father was apprehensive about the safety of his daughter. He feared that his daughter could be raped and killed by the abductors, who have a criminal record.

Shaukeen came to meet the DIG along with scores of villagers. However, the DIG snubbed the father and said, "I don't have magical power to recover your daughter. But if your daughter had eloped then you should be ashamed of it and end your life. I would have committed suicide or killed my sister if she had eloped."

The statement of the DIG was caught on video camera by media persons. He refused to comment when reporters questioned him about his statement. The victim's father, however, said that his daughter was allegedly abducted by two youths from his village house.

On his complaint, the police had registered a case against the two accused Mokin Satpal and Oma Atra but have done nothing so far. On DIG's response, Shaukeen said that he don't know from where the DIG got the information that his daughter had eloped. Villagers also claimed that they were witness to the abduction of the girl.

Mathura, Jul 22: A local court in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura on Wednesday sentenced 11 policemen, including the then Deputy Superintendent of Police, to life imprisonment in a case pertaining to the murder of royal Raja Man Singh in 1985.

District Judge Sadhana Rani Thakur announced the life imprisonment sentence a day after holding them guilty of the killing. Three policemen were, however, acquitted. Four men died during the trial.

The policemen were convicted under Section 302 (murder), 148 (rioting) and 149 (Every member of unlawful assembly guilty of offence committed in prosecution of common object) of the Indian Penal Code.

The verdict comes 35 years after Man Singh was killed. He, along with two others, was shot dead in police firing a day after he crashed his jeep into the then Rajasthan Chief Minister Shiv Charan Mathur's helicopter in a fit of anger.
