Today on 19/08/2012 visited Trilokpur Indira
Camp with Mr. Ashok Agarwal Adv. And our team which was part of our Sunday campaign
for contacting underprivileged group of society at their door step. While we
were in the area a 30 year old lady namely Babita came to us and informed that
her 6 years old daughter savita is missing for last Saturday and police is not
taking her complaint about missing child. It had been informed to us by the lady
that police is asking 8 copy of A-4 size of photograph of the child only then
they will take the complaint and she had only 2 copy of photograph. Mr. Agarwal
suggested her to go to the police station and once more request for the
registration of complaint. We provided them our contact information and given
her visiting card to contact us if she is facing any problem. We noticed that she
was very little convinced with us but we were not disappointed and thought this
is her thought against middle class people like us who never helps them for
getting their right and suggested and requested her to visit police station at
least once more.
We are grateful to
the lady who visited the police station at kalyanpuri and Mayur Vihar Phase –I as
both police stations was passing over the buck on each other and at last it had
been decided that the area falls in Mayur vihar police station. It is important
to mention that the lady approached the family where she was working as a
domestic help to borrow Rs 200/- for printing of photograph but did not succeeded
to get an advance of Rs 200/- for her daughter. We all see the frequent news
articles about the crimes committed by domestic help but never see this kind of
barbarian act by us which results sometime in some drastic steps by the
domestic help. I don’t justify any criminal act by the domestic help but we
must be concerned about these kind of inhuman attitude by employer otherwise we
can’t succeed to control such act by using whatever kind of precaution like
police verification etc. The lady who is searching her missing daughter had no
option to visit the police station once more and approached the Mayur Vihar
Phase I Police station. The head constable deputed their in duty room behaved
with her in very rude manner and refused to take complaint if she can’t provide
8 copy of photograph and the mother was carrying only one copy of photograph
hence police refused to take the complaint. Babita called Mr. Agarwal and it
was very surprising that the head constable knowingly informed the senior
advocate that it is rule that she must provide 8 copy of photograph if she wants
her complaint to be accepted. When Mr. Agarwal told him that he is going to
call the concerned ACP the constable informed that this rule is known to all
the officers. I have called the DCP East Mr. Prabhakar at his mobile phone but
the same was continuously none replied. At last I succeeded to call the
concerned SHO who at last agreed to take the complaint if I am sending the
mother to him. The mother approached the SHO who had made several enquiries
about her home, relative and native place and told her to make some arrangement
for AZAN at rickshaw which costs aprox Rs 150/- which is beyond the capacity of
the mother. SHO neither registered an F.I.R nor provided a copy of FIR or
complaint and told the complainant to come tomorrow then something in written
will be provided to her. All these jokes with the guidelines of Supreme Court were
taking place hardly at the 5 K.M. from the supreme court of this country.
There is clear provision of immediate
registration of F.I.R in these missing case and Hon’ble Delhi high court passed
order in this regard. The activity of the police station tantamount to the
contempt of order passed by the High court but a poor can neither access high
court nor the senior officers of police department. Whether we the middle class
are not responsible for this kind of ignorance faced by the Mother of missing
girl. Whether the employer should not be
punished for this kind of attitude. These are some of the concerns needed to be
readdressed immediately.
