Errant law enforcer
On 27 June 2008, an ASP of police committed the crime of stealing a mobile phone set belonging to a Thai woman at Zia International Airport. He was caught red-handed and the mobile set was recovered from his possession. At one stage, the lady slapped him. In this connection a general diary was recorded. In the meantime necessary investigations are stated to have been completed by the police and recommendations for suspending the accused police officer have been made.
It is a matter of great regret that when the country is campaigning for eradication of corruption, a law enforcer committed such a heinous crime, which puts the entire nation to shame. Being a citizen of this country, I find no suitable language to condemn the criminal act.
The members of the police as well as the members of other law enforcing departments/agencies should take a lesson from this incident. They should be more careful not to do anything undesirable which brings disgrace to the nation.
