    • Rajeev khanna Tags : Dehradun fake encounter, Ranbir Singh Posted: Monday , Jul 06, 2009 at 1724 hrs New Delhi:

    There are several loopholes in the story being given by the Dehradun police on the encounter of 24 year old Ranbir Singh that need to be answered.

    To begin with who were the two boys that were accompanying Ranbir Singh at the time they were intercepted by the police. Their whereabouts are not known till now. Secondly, if Ranbir Singh had been trapped along with the motorcycle on which the three were trying to flee, how come the remaining two managed to flee on foot and that too when they were hit by bullets as was claimed by Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Amit Sinha before he was attacked to the Police Headquarters.

    Sinha had gone on to tell the media persons that an alert has been sounded off in all the medical establishments regarding the two injured boys.

    Narender Singh who is a retired senior police official having worked in Crime Branch of Uttar Pradesh police and had himself been a part of several encounters with criminals, told The Indian Express, “From the evidence that has been reported till now, it seems to be a very hasty action on the part of the police. They could have got everything from him by arresting and then interrogating him. Arrest is always the best when it comes to tackling crime.”

    He further said, “Whenever there is a visit of a dignitary like the President to the city, the Police can never allow triple riding on motor bikes in the city.”

    The police have been claiming that three motorcycle borne youth on being stopped a police sub inspector in the posh Dalanwala had fled after beating him and snatching his service revolver.

    ranbirBy: gabar singh | 28-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward this is very sad that all are blaming police for the fake encounter of the police but why reporter not asking this question that what ranbir was doing with the pistol, and how much courage he has that he dared to open fire on a police officer. it was officer luck that the pistol was locked. if an educated man open fire in public than he should be punished but not encountered.
    Dehradun Police By: AKC | 18-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward I am sorry for the family of Ranbir and do hope that Bhatt will be severely punished if Ranbir was innocent but I definitely do not find any merit in the view that Ranbir was innocent because he was a MBA or did not have a past record of crime. Let it be investigated. Criminals among students are not an unknown phenomenon and the present apparatus of crime makes only educated suitable for big crimes. Many terror activities are committed and supported by highly educated individuals all over the world. Similarly not all criminals have past record of crime, there may not even be first time for many hardened criminals. I do not know if Kasab, the perpetrator of 26/11 crime had a past record of crime. Somebody could enlighten.
    Lament Ranbir's death By: AKC | 18-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward I am not happy with the way media handles and sensationalizes events. In a civil society the media should be a watch dog and it should discharge its duty of reporting facts sincerely, honestly, without fear but impartially. Such behavior of media strengthens institutions of governance in society. But investigation of crime is a serious business and the media or ordinary citizens like us who expressed so many views do not have the role or competence to investigate the crime or to conclude if a man is guilty. They must desist from it. Government has created Agencies to investigate crimes and judiciary to decide guilty. Even if we are not happy with the functioning of these agencies, we can’t permit this role to be performed by the Media. Self assumption of such roles by media or ordinary citizen is fraught with danger particularly in a country like India with large no. of poor and ill educated population who could be easily manipulated.
    Suspend and arrest SSP Amit Sinha and his gang of butchersBy: Satish Negi | 08-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward If the CM Nishank fails to recommend CBI inquery then this is going to be a disaster for Uttarakhand. He represents common people and should understand that saving criminals in the Uttarakhand police department will ruin the state. I was associated with Uttarakhand Movement and m witness to the UP police brutalities. Hence it is the duty of the Uttarakhandi community to initiate immediate action for weeding out the criminals from the police department. Amit Sinha And Ganpathy defended the actions of their fake encounter team. Why CM is not ordering the arrest of AMit Sinha and Ganaparhy ??? They might be IPS but they are not above law. Infact they will surely distroy the evidence during the so called CB CID investigation process.
    Death of Ranbir by Dehradun PoliceBy: Akhilesh Chaudhary | 18-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward There appears to be a well orchestrated effort to attack police all over the country. You attack them through terrorists act, naxal / maoist act or character assassination by media or through people of doubtful character like Negi. Let us pray that these are not part of a design of making the policing systems discredited and weak. But given the impassioned personalized coverage of police/ army atrocity events, can we really rule out media, criminal, terror, Negi nexus. Not the entire media is irresponsible but some definitely are not responsible. I still do not wish to gag them but it is necessary that their ownership is investigated for such nexus.
    Indian Police - the criminals with special license from GovernmentBy: Amit | 08-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Ordinary people turn into butchers and criminals as soon as they enter police in India. This is what they get in training from seniors already. I have a friend in Uttarakhand Police and I have stopped talking to him now because the way he started thinking
