Chikkamagaluru: Cop allegedly forces youth to drink urine in custody, FIR lodged


Daijiworld Media Network - Chikkamagaluru (SP)

Chikkamagaluru, May 23: There have been allegations that police sub-inspector (PSI) of Gonibeedu police staiton in Mudigere taluk in the district, Arjun Hoskeri, had forced a Dalit youngster to consume urine. The allegation was investigated and preliminary report stands submitted to the district superintendent of police.

Deputy superintendent of police, T T Prabhu, submitted the preliminary report after investigating the allegation. On the basis of the report, a first information report (FIR) has been registered against the said PSI.

A woman from Kirugunda village had gone missing. In this context, K L Puneet from this village, who is a daily wage worker within Bettagere gram panchayat, had been taken to Gonibeedu police station. Puneet had accused the police of behaving with him in an inhuman way during interrogation. He had alleged that he was hung upside down and assaulted. He also alleged that a person named Chetan, who had been brought to the police station on the allegation of theft, was asked to urinate and that he was made to drink this urine. He also said that the PSI used abusive words against him besides beating him up brutally, which left him weak and drained.

"When I sought water to drink, two drops from a nearby bottle were sprinkled into my mouth. I was again assaulted by the policemen. I was very much thirsty and urged the PSI to give me water. Then Arjun made Chetan open the zip of his trousers and urinate into my mouth," he alleged. Chetan gave all these details in the letters he wrote to top officials in the police department and the Human Rights Commission.

Immediately after this allegation was made, PSI Arjun Hoskeri was transferred to the office of the superintendent of police on office duty. But leaders of various organizations have demanded his suspension from service. Dalit organizations and many citizens had expressed their anguish at the police department's apathty to even register 'not criminally responsible (NCR)' report even weeks after the above incident. As the case made headlines, and anger against the police built as the news went viral on social media, the department registered FIR against him.

PSI Arjun faces charges under Indian Penal Code section Nos. 342, 323, 504, 506m 330 and 348 besides offences under Atrocities against the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

    Wonderful suggestions by Monty Dotor. Yes, we have seen how the King's own mafia handled the Baliga case. Agree with all points . I don't think bringing people from another state matters. There are no honest humans on planet Earth that is why they invented the Great Dictator in the sky to forgive their sins so that they could keep sinning and not be troubled by their natural conscience. Just making everything fully transparent without any human intervention involved, will ensure 100% honesty. Further to your suggestions, all court( even commissions, tribunals etc.) proceedings should have automatic transcripts generated and made available to the parties concerned & all policemen should use body cams while performing any policing work on or off duty.

    if true, the cop needs to be dismissed, at the very least , and his retirement benefits confiscated by the Govt. Govt must make sure that the person is not employed anywhere after his dismissal. But will the Govt display the will to provide exemplary punishment?

    @Melroy ,what you're have written is 100% correct. One step further if you go to court , nothing moves.Remember Baliga murder case... Ideally all investigations should be videorecorded. The people who judge should be from another state, and all further arguments should be online through videoconferencing.Only 3 adjounememnts allowed. All names on both sides and the deciding persons should be replaced by a random computer generated number. The jury should have respected persons who are civilians. Here it is like making the naughtiest boy the monitor of the class...

    Far as I know, NCR stands for Non-Cognisable Report.[ If I am wrong I may be corrected.] Meaning that the information reported to the police, about an offence committed, is about a non-cognisable offence. The police will require a court order to investigate. 99.99% times police simply give you this chocolate wrapper called NCR(if you insist) and pack you off, after pacifying you –irrespective of the type of offence committed . After this you can be sure they will do nothing (at least officially as per procedures). In most cases, they will not even acknowledge your written complaint(if you make one). If the information reported is about a cognisable offence then the police must register what they term as “FIR” immediately and give you a copy and they can begin investigation. Despite Supreme Court orders the police very rarely follow the rules. It must be noted that filing a report and obtaining either a NCR or what they term as "FIR" does not mean that the accused person is guilty until the offence can be proved in a court of law. Due to extreme unaccountability in all govt. depts., govt. servants(exceptions not included) tend to behave like goondas and Gabbar Singh’s. In case of misconduct by a policeman, one must make a complaint to the Police Complaints Authority. Unfortunately, this is like complaining to Gabbar Singh about one of his dacoits. Most of these PCA are non-functional. Even the Human Rights Commissions are paper tigers merely enjoying on tax-payers money doing nothing but twiddling their thumbs. This is why India is a mobocracy, if you can get 100 people to shout and threaten then the authorities will have time for you .Otherwise rule of law is still a far cry.

    Suspension of one month is nothing. If you have any police charges pending or you're convicted, it is very difficult to get a decent job in countries aboard ( I am talking about the citizens of that country, not for Indians who want to find a job there) How one month suspension is enough for this crime? He should never be allowed in any public sector, let him do some daily wages duties to for living.

Will police department makes SI Arjun to drink Urine of Dalit youth if not once he dismissed all Dalit should force him to drink their Urine, SI Arjun should get taste of his own medicine. ಅಚ್ಛೇ ದೀನ್ ಮತ್ತು 15 ಲಕ್ಷದ ಆಸೆಗೆ ಬೀಳದ್ದಿದರೆ ಈ ದೀನ್ ಬರುತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ if people were not desired to Ache din and 15 Lakhs these days wouldn't have come today.
