MALDA, 27 APRIL: Home guards posted at the Chanchal police station today agitated to protest against an assistant sub inspector who was allegedly reluctant to arrange a vehicle to take a colleague to a hospital when he fell seriously ill.
A group of constables had extended support to them and allegedly threatened not to carry our duty this morning.
On being informed of this development senior police officers managed to bring the situation under control immediately and even request the Press not to publish the story.
Mr Jamshed Ali- a home guard – fell ill suddenly as he was suffering from diarrhea. His colleagues immediately informed their duty officer, Mr Buddehswar Das, ASI, and asked him to arrange for a police vehicle to take Mr Ali to a hospital. However, Mr Das allegedly took no initiative to admit Mr Ali to a hospital.
Some colleagues of Mr Ali had to carry the victim on their shoulders and admitted him to the Chanchal hospital around 2.20 a.m.
Family members of Mr Ali expressed anger at the police station this morning criticizing the inhuman attitude of the ASI.
Surprisingly, no senior police officer- including the Malda SP- was ready to talk about the matter.
The ASI, Mr Buddheshwar Das, latter spoke to journalists: “Nobody had informed me about the situation. I was extremely tired last as I had been on night duty for the past three days”.
The Chanchal SDPO could not be reached for comments.
“Nobody has informed me about the incident. You can ask the Chanchal SDPO whether I has asked him to inquire into the matter to manage the situation”, the Malda SP said.
