Kind
attention of the Hon’ble Chief Minister is drawn to the news item referred to
above. The information is that a couple
of police officers were kept confined by a group of lawyers in their bar
association office at Karur on 22.1.2013, besides another group of lawyers
snatching the vehicle key of another police officer in the district court
complex. Prima facie, at least three
offences- wrongful confinement, preventing a public servant from discharging
his duty and robbery have been committed against the police officers who were
on duty in the court complex. The
offences have been committed in full public view. It appears that the illegal acts against
the police officers have not been taken to their logical follow up action. The incident is quite shocking and alarming. It is bound to ruin the morale of the police
force in the entire state, which is under the merciful custody of the Hon’ble
Chief Minister.
Under the
circumstances, we pray our Hon’ble Chief Minister to issue such directions as to take suitable and
deterrent actions to restore the morale of the force which is under severe
strain.
Yours failthfully,
PRESIDENT
