Hats off to the T.N Human Rights Commission for the bold and timely action against police officers responsible for punishing a reformed individual on false charges despite his genuine pleas on his good conduct. The victim is one Shanmugam from Madurai and the police staff involved are Messrs Mutharasu, Inspector of police, Head constable Sambandam Viswanathan and Rajarajan of Tanjore Tamil University Police Station. The above police staff tried to harass and prosecute Shanmugam on the charge of stealing 10 gram of gold ornaments.
The tendency of the police is normally to suspect the history-sheeters but when they prepare the same they at times overlook the genuine nature of the person involved. As I normally reiterate, the good-natured and innocent persons should not be allowed to be harassed while bigger devils are at large due to their political connections in the states.
One should indeed admire the Commission member Mr K.Mariappan for such a step taken in view of several such bodies like Central Administrative Tribunal and Information Commission failing in their duties to protect the genuine parties.
