The Punjab and Haryana High Court order, directing to put on the fast track “high-profile” cases, following Ruchika’s molestation case is likely to cut delay in litigation not just against the present and the former Chief Ministers of Punjab, but against eight IAS officers as well.

The Punjab government had informed the high court during the hearing of petition that vigilance enquiries and departmental proceedings were pending against 18 IAS officers. Another eight had criminal cases pending against them.

Nearly 10 IPS officers, including three serving and retired Directors-General of Police and an additional DGP, were facing court and criminal cases, besides disciplinary action and investigation. Punjab’s Additional Advocate-General in compliance with the orders passed by Justice HS Bhalla in the Bhadaur Gurdwara controversy case placed the list of names before the high court.

The list has not been updated in the high court records. The officers named then in the list were: Sarvesh Kaushal, Jagjit Puri, Mandeep Singh, B Sarkar, GS Pirzada, CS Srivastava, HIS. Grewal, Khushi Ram, JS Maini, Dr Swarn Singh, RN Gupta, Dharam Vir, Harjit Singh, Kirpa Shanker Saroj, Shruti Singh and DS Grewal. Another list of IAS officers with criminal cases had then asserted: KBS Sidhu, SC Agrawal and GS Grewal are facing proceedings in CBI case on establishment and development of forest hill resort at Karoran village in SAS Nagar.

It was then added that IAS officer K Siva Prasad was also facing a CBI case registered against him. R Venkatratnam then had a case of cheating and forgery pending against him under Sections 420, 409, 468, 471 and 120-B of the IPC, read with the Prevention of Corruption Act. SS Dhillon also had a Prevention of Corruption Act case against him when the list was submitted. Tejinder Kaur’s name had also appeared in the list.

In the list of IPS officers facing court and criminal cases, along with disciplinary actions and investigations then were: SS Virk, SS Saini, KK Attri, Mohd. Izhar Alam, GD Pandey, RP Singh, SS Sodhi, Paramraj Singh, Rajinder Singh and Devinder Singh Garcha. The politicians facing cases include ex-Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal and present Speaker Nirmal Singh Kahlon.

Daughters, sisters and mothers are common. This poor girl Ruchika was molested by the demon police officer when she was merely 15 years old, in 1990. It took the bankrupt Indian courts 19 years to convict the molestor and the sentence he got was not even a slap on the wrist. He got just 6 months for this henious act.

When the parents filed case against this police officer, they were harrassed for many years. Political pressure was applied against the family. Ruchika who was the victim was demonized; so much so that she was expelled from her school. It was as if it was he fault that she got molested. They were punishing her for speaking out against the atrocity committed against her. The victim was made to regret her decision to speak out.

The result of this harrassment was that 4 years later she committed suicide. She went through hell in these 4 years. A heartbreaking story.

Some of the IPS officers listed in the above post are also accused of genocide of Sikh youth in the 1980s and 1990s. The law of Karma is inevitable. They will pay for their dues in due time. Vaheguru is the true Judge who does nothing but justice.

KP Gill is another rogue cop who should be stripped of all medals for outraging the modesty of Rupan Deol Bajaj.

Rupan Deol wants Gill’s Padma Shri taken back

Chandigarh, January 5
The Centre’s decision to strip police officers convicted of “moral turpitude” off medals and awards fuelled a demand by an ex-woman IAS officer today that the Padma Shri award be taken back from Punjab’s former “supercop” KPS Gill convicted for outraging her modesty.

Gill, who is credited with retrieving Punjab from insurgency, dismissed the demand as “nonsense.”

Rupan Deol Bajaj wanted the Centre to move against Gill in the same manner as it was proceeding against ex-Haryana top cop SPS Rathore to strip him off his police medal in the aftermath of the Ruchika molestation cae.

“Gill’s case is also one of moral turpitude. All his medals and the Padma Shri should be taken away,” said Bajaj, who is currently a Information Commissioner in Punjab.

“It is very necessary that some kind of message should go out to society that such persons do not deserve to have these high decoration,” Bajaj said.

“I think Ruchika would not have been molested had KPS Gill not be given Padma Shri. Because(Rathore) knew that if such things happen even to IAS officer,they can get away, a top cop can get away with it,” she said.

Gill said retrospective punishment for award and medal recipients for services rendered by them was “against the law”. Gill, a recipient of several police medals, also appeared to suggest that he was not unduly bothered if the medals given to him were taken away by the government.

“Who is bothered about that medal. I never asked for it. They gave it to me. They can take away all 20 medals,” Gill said.

He was in 1996 found guilty of outraging modesty of Bajaj by a trial court after she complained in 1988 that the police officer “pinched” her “posterior” at a party where he was alleged to be drunk.

Talking to the media, Gill said he had not asked for the Padma Shri and so he did not care whether the government took it away from him.

Gill was the DGP of Punjab and Bajaj a senior IAS officer at the time of the incident. He was sentenced by a trial court to pay a fine of Rs 2 lakh, be imprisoned rigorously for 3 months and simply for 2 months.

With a precedent being set for the withdrawal of medals awarded to Rathore, questions are being asked whether this would mean Gill could lose his awards.

It was an unbelievable act by KP Gill to have pinched Rupan Deol in her posterior, when he was drunk. Such a shameless act from so called hero of Govt. of India. They still gave him Padam Shri. Shame on them.

What a failure KP has been. He was the Hockey chief for almost a decade and destroyed the Hockey institution in this time. What a failure.
