WORST POLICING CALLS FOR REFORMS. IT HAS BECOME MY UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE TO REPEATEDLY DEAL WITH WORST POLICING TACTICS AT THE POLICE STATIONS.

THE STORY BEGINS WITH THE SENSELESS POLITICIZATION AROUND ME WHENEVER THERE HAPPENS TO BE ANY MURKY ELECTIONS HAPPENING AROUND.  OR WHATEVER THE IRRELEVANT  NEWS ITEMS SUCH AS THE SATYAM FRAUD CASE. THE FLAT OWNER'S RELATIVE HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THE ACCUSED IN THE CASE. EVER SINCE I SHIFTED INTO THIS GUMMADI NILAYAM THE ELDERLY COUPLE ALONG WITH THE FEMALE ACTING AS THE WATCHMAN AND ALSO THEIR DOMESTIC SERVANT HAVE BEGUN TO UNNECESSARILY HARRASS AND THREATEN.

THERE WERE THE INITIAL BANGINGS ON MY DOOR OVER ONE PRETEXT OR ANOTHER. NEXT THE FUSE OFF AND THEN THE UNAUTHORISED DISCONNECTION OF THE METRE WHEN THE RELATED PARTY WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT HOME AND WELL WITHIN THE GRACE PERIOD OF FOURTEEN DAYS.  NEXT WAS THE DEPRIVATION OF THE DRINKING WATER AND WHEN I ENQUIRED WITH THE ELDERLY COUPLE. THEIR REACTION WAS SIMPLY BOISTEROUS BECAUSE OF MY OUTFIT IN BROWN. THERE WAS AN ATTEMPTED ASSAULT AND THE CHEEKY THREATENING FEMALE WATCHMAN NAMED VENKATAMMA.

MY PEACEFUL EXISTENCE BEGAN TO GET SHATTERED BY THE MOTIVATED SPECIMENS. I APPROACHED THE OSMANIA UNIVERSITY POLICE STATION AFTER ATTENDING MY OFFICE. THE JOKE WAS THAT I WAS DEALT LIKE AN ACCUSED AND NOT LIKE THE GRIEVED COMPLAINANT BY THE POLICE INCHARGE AT THE OSMANIA UNIVERSITY POLICE STATION. I WAS UNNECESSARILY DETAINED AND SHOUTED AT AS IF I WAS THE ACCUSED.

THE RELATED RECENTLY POSTED SHO K ANJAIAH BEGAN TO SAY THAT MY PRESENCE WAS REQUIRED TO CALL FOR THE OPPOSITE PARTIES AND CONDUCT AN ENQUIRY. THEREAFTER THE WAIT WAS LONG AND THE WINTER DARKNESS WAS SETTING IN FAST. LATER THE RELATED RECENTLY POSTED ACP M VIJAY KUMAR ALSO CONDUCTED THE ENQUIRY WHEN I WENT TO JUST SPEAK FOR FEW MINUTES.

THE POLICE AUTHORITIES DO NOT HAVE THE POWERS TO CONDUCT AN IMITATION OF THE COURT ROOM TRIAL WITH THE PARTIES AS IF THEY CAN SIT IN JUDGEMENT OF THE CASE. THEIR AUTHORITIES AND POWERS ARE LIMITED. IT SHOULD BE FOR THE PROPER COURT TO DECIDE. MOST OF THE TIME THE POLICE BEGUN TO COOK UP THE CASES AND MAKE THE CASES  EITHER AS MINOR OR MAJOR AS PER THEIR WHIMS. THERE WERE NO LADY POLICE IN SIGHT.

THE ENQUIRY CONDUCTED WAS SO VERY MUCH BIASED INCLINED TOWARDS CASTEISM, RACISM AND THE PROPERTIED LOT. INSTEAD OF QUESTIONING ABOUT MY GRIEVANCES SUCH AS "TRESPASS" OR "DISCRIMINATION OVER BASIC AMENITIES" OR "THREATS" OR "INHUMANITY" THE POLICE OFFICIALS OFFERED AN APT AND PATIENT HEARING OF THE OPPOSITE PARTIES POURING THEIR HEART OUT WITH ALL BASELESS AND SENSELESS ALLEGATIONS. AS USUAL THE FAVOURITE TOPIC AND CONCOCTED ALLEGATION AGAINST ME IS "ALL ABOUT WATER".

IT WAS ALL SO DRAMATICALLY COMMUNIALISM AND CASTEISM BY THE REGIONAL BREED THAT I GOT UP AND RETURNED HOME TO MY PET. THE HEAVEN AND EARTH DIFFERENCE WHEN I HAD SPOKEN TO TWO HIGH RANKING POLICE OFFICIALS EARLIER IN THE DAY. THEY SOUNDED SO HUMANE.

BUT AT THE OSMANIA UNIVERSITY POLICE STATION THE POLICE PERSONNEL WERE ALL SO CALLOUS DETAINING ME EVEN WHEN I KEPT COMPLAINING ABOUT DEHYDRATION AND WEAKNESS. I HAD NOTHING TO EAT THE WHOLE DAY EXCEPT FOR A LIGHT BREAKFAST AND I HAD A TIRING TIME TRAVELLING LONG DISTANCES TO AND FRO OFFICES TO PUTFORTH MY GRIEVANCES.  THUS I WAS INHUMANELY HARRASSED AT THE SAID POLICE STATION.

BY END OF THE DAY, I REALISED THAT COMMUNIALISM IS WORST THAN TERRORISM. THERE IS EXCESS OF CASTEISM AND RACISM AROUND.  SO I WAS DEPRIVED OF JUSTICE YET AGAIN. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS THE BAD DRINKING WATER SUPPLIED BY THE FEMALE WATCHMAN THAT MY PET REFUSED TO DRINK THE WATER OR EAT HER FOOD FOR A WHILE. THE DRINKING WATER TASTED WORST ALIKE THE WORST POLICING IN THE TWIN CITIES OF ANDHRA PRADESH. POLICE REFORMS OUGHT TO BE IMMINENT AND IMPERATIVE.
