Web site to help nab corrupt c
BANGALORE — The Bangalore City Police has launched a web site to help the public lodge complaints of corrupt practices by its staff after a recent raid by Lokayukta, the provincial ombudsman, yielded assets worth a whopping Rs600 million amassed by five city cops.
The public can log on to www.bcp.gov.in and file complaints against the police by attaching any document, including photographs and video clippings in support of their grievances, Bangalore City Police Commissioner Ajai Kumar Singh has announced. The online facility for lodging complaints against cops comes close on the heels of the Lokayukta raid on the residences and offices of five police officials in Bangalore, which revealed the alarming level of corruption among the police officials.
While the raid on Deputy Superintendent of Police Krishnappa's residence, valued at Rs15 million, yielded a cash of Rs2.3 million, besides gold and silver items and documents pertaining to houses, sites and agricultural land, all worth Rs150 million, a search on the premises of Inspector of Police in the City Crime Branch's Fraud and Misappropriation wing Shami Ur Rahman revealed that he had amassed a total of 45 residential sites in Bangalore, besides jewellery and other assets, amounting to total of Rs200 million.
Similarly raids carried out on the residences and offices of inspectors of police N Narayanaswamy, Mir Arif Ali and P Shivanna also showed that the officials had amassed wealth highly disproportionate to their known sources of income. Soon after the raids, Karnataka Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy ordered the suspension of the five cops. "I have already given orders for their suspension and necessary legal action," the chief minister said.
The chief minister also said that his government was planning to give more powers to the Lokayukta so that the menace of corruption in the state is weeded out.
Meanwhile, by launching a web site the Bangalore City Police authorities are hoping to instill a sense of fear among the corrupt police officials. "A senior police officer will be entrusted with the task of personally monitoring these complaints and taking departmental action against the cops if information provided is sufficient and believable," Singh told reporters.
