Protector become Violator of Human Rights

Torture is a very common behavior in Indian Police. In fact it is common enough not to be flashed unless it happens in broad daylight. ( instead of that India had signed the UN Convention against Torture, even in the implementation of law inside the country)
A few months ago one incident of Bihar had captured whole countrie's attention.
A restless mob led by some policemen assaulting a petty thief in Nath Nagar in Bhagalpur,Bihar, shocked the entire country after it was shown on TV. To prove its commitment to good governance, the government (lead by Mr.Nitish Kumar) took immediate action and punished the two policemen involved in the incident.
But the Police Men Association and many senior police officers expressed their disgrace that the incident was a case of police torture and want the two dismissed policemen to be reengaged to their service. According to them those accused policemen tried their best to protect the thief but the crowd did not allow them to do so that is why they were compelled to act as per the crowd’s wish.
But initial outrage broadcasted by the TV news channels of the Bhagalpur incident has had little impact on the Bihar police. The cases of police torture are increasing day by day. This was just one of the cruel examples of misuse of power by the Police officials who are responsible for the law and order.
It is revealed from a study that mostly low level police and lower ranks police officials are engaged in such type of actions and it has also disclosed that the main purposes of police torture is to acquire information from suspects and to punish the accused to teach them a lesson for future. These types of cases are often happened for promotion in service, to get a reward and sometimes is also under the political pressures.
Our society is also responsible in similar way for this type of incidents of police torture. It can be said that our society has become more rude and violent and demands instant justice. The majority of the people irrespective of the social and economical status support police torture and also violates human rights. In such kind of of society, the police alone cannot be blamed for such incidents.
Police torture is one of the nude scenario of human rights violation. The Constitution of India assures the right to life, equality, liberty and dignity of individual and the States have to protect these rights.
To change this situation every individuals must have to possess the respect for human rights within the community and society as well. Only then l Government will be able to create a transparent administration and to protect the human rights for people from every sphere of .society.
