Perhaps this is a very common word known, understood, practiced by some "patriotic" police officers.Encounter is performed in the name of curbing the naxalism, protecting the nation, foiling the bid to escape, and some times "protecting" the lives of political "leaders".
Today am writing these words in the backdrop of a report of special investigation team's latest report of ishrat jeha encounter that is produced before Gujarat high court on 21 Nov 2011.In this report SIT which was probing this case since a long time said that Ishrat jehan and others who were shot dead by Gujarat and mumbai police in 2004 were -Killed-not "encountered".SIT concluded in its report that the four youngsters including Ishrat were killed much before the proclaimed encounter in Ahmedabad.
They were killed in the name of protecting a renowned fascist leader Narendar Modi, "honourable" CM of Gujarat.Ishrat and four others were accused of planning to kill Modi and were gunned down by the responsible and active police officials. One of the charges against the deceased was they were the members of Lashkar e toyeba. After a seven long years it is proved that encounter was fake.My question is, what is encounter.?And we have to define Fake encounter.Is there any such provision in the indian penal code for encounters.I feel that as this encounter was proved fake the charges against the killed will also be declared fake very soon.I hope justice will prevail and responsible citizens of india will definitely accept this truth that "encounters" should be stopped.
