Opposition parties should desist from levelling false allegations against State Government

My Government will force officers to mend their ways at all costs

Lucknow : 20 January 2011

Taking punitive action against the guilty police personnel

of the Banda case, the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh

Ms. Mayawati ji ordered immediate suspension of investigating

officer of the case SI Sri Radhey Shyam Shukla and officiating

SHO Sri Abdul Jabbar for delay and carelessness in the

investigation work. Likewise, the Atarra CO Sri Rajendra Yadav

and Additional SP of Banda Sri Lala Ram have also been

suspended for showing poor and inept supervision of

investigation. Besides, the Banda Jailor has also been

suspended for not listening to the points raised by his sub-

ordinate and not reporting the facts to the senior officers.

Departmental action has also been initiated against them.

Referring to the role of the Banda SP in this case, the

Hon’ble Chief Minister ji said that he was not found guilty in the

inquiry. She said that the special DGP law and order Mr. Brij Lal

has been directed to assess the situation so that cases like

Banda and Kanpur were not repeated. He has also been

directed to send his recommendations to the Government at the

Hon’ble Court to hear this case through fast track court.

government was committed to ensure justice for the affected

people and it never pardoned the guilty nor it protected them.

She said that law breakers would not be spared in her regime

2

no matter whosoever they were. Referring to the cases like

Banda and Kanpur and other cases as well, she said that she

was forced to take punitive action against officers who were

unable to perform their duties with honesty.

Hon’ble Chief Minister said that for the present state of

things, the previous governments were actually responsible as

they misused the Government machinery for their vested

interests and made it careless and corrupt. She said that her

government was suffering because of this reason. She said that

her government would force the officers to mend their ways at

all costs. She said that this may take some time as this malaise

had deep roots. Besides, stringent action would be taken

against those officers who had links with opposition parties and

were trying to malign the image of the State Government, if

evidence was found against them.

Hon’ble Chief Minister ji has asked the leaders of

opposition parties that they should stop levelling false and

baseless allegations against the State Government and extend

their co-operation, so that the law and order could be improved

and the pace of development could be accelerated and the

State could become prosperous. Giving sharp reaction over the

useless statements being issued by opposition parties specially

the Congress party over the recent incidents which took place in

the State, she said that it was an effort to mislead the people.

The Hon’ble Chief Minister said that despite the stringent

action taken by the state government against the criminals

involved in these incidents, it was unfortunate that baseless

allegations had been put on her government. She said that her

government had not hesitated in taking action accordance to

law against party MLAs, Ministers and an MP who took law in

their hands. She said that nobody would be permitted to play

with the law. She said that land development and water

resources Minister Mr. Ashok Kumar Dohre was sacked

yesterday because continuous complaints were being received

regarding unnecessary pressure on officers by him.

The Hon’ble Chief Minister said that so far as the question

of false statements of opposition leaders regarding Banda and

Kanpur incidents is concerned, her government had taken it

seriously and ordered inquiry by CB-CID into Banda case. On

getting the preliminary report of CB-CID, government took

harsh steps and lodged FIR against MLA Purushottam Naresh

Dwivedi and three others. It had directed the officers to take

3

action in accordance with law and arrests of culprits. Besides,

she had ordered to release the victim girl immediately on 15

January, 2011 on getting the CB-CID report, because the

allegations put on the girl were not found true in inquiry report.

The Hon’ble Chief Minister said that directives had been

given for taking stringent action against the guilty policemen

and CB-CID inquiry in this regard. Besides, Principal Secretary

(Home) was directed to provide proper security to victim girl.

She said that charge-sheet was filed by the police in 15 days

against the MLA Shekhar Tiwari accused of murder of an

engineer in Auraiyya and Mr. Tiwari is still in jail. Similarly, the

then Minister Mr. Anand Sen Yadav was arrested and sent to jail

after taking his resignation, when his name came in light in

rape case. Mr. Yadav is still in jail. MLA Mr. Bhagwan Sharma

alias Guddu Pandit was also arrested owing to his involvement

in criminal incident. CB-CID has filed the charge-sheet in the

Court in Banda case today.

The Hon’ble Chief Minister said that on getting the

information regarding the facts in Divya case, she took it

seriously and ordered CB-CID inquiry into the whole case. In-

charge inspector was suspended with immediate effect after he

was found guilty in CB-CID inquiry report. Section-344 and 218

IPC were registered and CB-CID inquiry was ordered. Besides,

ASP (rural) and CO were also suspended for slackness and

indifferent approach in this case.
