The Story in Brief
The Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) of Charkhi Dadri police has arrested Amardeep alias Pankaj, the alleged mastermind behind the August 6 shooting outside the city police station and court that injured seven people. Police said he was caught after an exchange of fire, during which he sustained bullet wounds to both legs. An automatic Turkish-made pistol, live cartridges and a Bolero car were recovered from him.
Amardeep, a resident of Sahuwas village, is an active member of the Sahuwas gang. The August 6 firing is linked to a rivalry with the Pradeep Kasni gang, police said. He has 21 criminal cases against him, including murder and attempt to murder. Deputy superintendent of police Captain Singh said a sub-inspector escaped unhurt after a bullet hit his bulletproof jacket.
The Indian Opinion
The police claim a big success, but the encounter narrative is familiar and predictable. In Haryana, every high-profile arrest seems to involve a shootout, conveniently injuring the accused in the legs. The public is left wondering if this is genuine policing or a staged script to justify custodial violence. The real test will be whether the courts convict Amardeep based on evidence, not just the police version. How many of his 21 prior cases ended in conviction? That number will tell us if the law really works.
