Police chief Amulya Patnaik has not acted on enquiry report of attack on journalists in 2017
The recent attacks on journalists and subsequent protests against the Delhi Police for trying to silence the fourth pillar of democracy refuses to die down amid the information surfacing that Commissioner of Police, Amulya Patnaik has been sitting on the enquiry report of Ramjas College incident in which journalists were brutally beaten up allegedly under the watch of Deputy Commissioner of Police, Jatin Narwal in February last year.
Although Narwal had refuted the allegation, the incident had triggered massive uproar in the Capital.
The Special Investigating Team (SIT) under the Crime Branch of the Delhi Police has completed “fair investigation” into the attack on journalists which took place during the protests outside Ramjas College in Delhi University. “The report has been submitted to the Commissioner of Police and is kept at his office in a sealed cover,” sources in the force said. The Delhi Police comes under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
Patnaik, who refrains from interacting with the public as well as media like his predecessor Alok Kumar Verma, had formed a SIT to probe into the attack on journalists to pacify the aggrieved victims and also to probe clashes between two groups of students. Also, he had personally called up media persons who were beaten up by the cops.
The crime branch sources revealed that all the policemen were given a clean chit.
After the attack on journalists on March 23, Special Commissioner of Police and chief spokesperson Dependra Pathak on Monday said that following a vigilance inquiry, the Delhi Cantt Station House Officer was booked under molestation charges and sent to district police line.
However, when the female journalist was molested and other two were attacked during the JNU protest, many Delhi Police top officers were on the spot. Joint Commissioner of Police Praveer Ranjan along with Joint Commissioner of Police (New Delhi range) Ajay Chaudhary and at least six deputy commissioners of police were present at the spot.
