The court of Additional Sessions Judge Suresh Kumar Gupta in Bareilly has sentenced three constables and a middleman to 10 years of imprisonment each for making a murderous attack on the then SP Traffic Kalpana Saxena in the year 2010. Not only this, the court has also imposed a fine of one lakh rupees each on the culprits. After the sentencing, the culprits broke down in tears in the court itself. Currently, IPS Kalpana is posted as Additional Police Commissioner in Ghaziabad. The incident took place on 2 September 2010 in the Cantt police station area near the shrine on Shahjahanpur Road.
According to media reports, Kalpana Saxena was posted as SP Traffic in Bareilly in the year 2010. She came to know that some of her constables extort money from truck drivers. So on 2 September 2010, when she reached near the shrine on Bareilly-Shahjahanpur Road in the Cantt police station area of Bareilly, she caught the policemen red-handed while extorting money from truck drivers. In such a situation, constable Ravindra, Manoj and another Dharmendra tried to kill him by crushing him with the car. He was also dragged by the car for 200 meters. He was also attacked on his head. Even the policemen kept saying that ‘Today is your last day.’ When they could not kill SP Kalpana Saxena, they pushed her and ran away. This incident shook the administrative staff across the country.
During the hearing on the punishment file on Monday, the prosecution said that if a public servant is trying to kill his senior officer, then how would he behave with the public? Policemen are given the responsibility of protecting the senior officers and leaders of the country. Here the culprits have acted against the system. The court said that the four culprits could have backed up the car and run away, but they tried to kill the senior officer by running the car over him in broad daylight. Such culprits should be given severe punishment.
The culprit Ravindra said while crying
The four culprits were presented in the court amid tight security. On being presented before the judge, all the four convicts kept crying and begging for mercy. One of the convicts told the judge that I have seen you in the form of Khatushyam. Your blessings will surely be upon me. Meanwhile, outside the court room, the family members of the convicts also kept crying and kept talking about going to the High Court. The four convicts who reached the court on Monday started begging for mercy before the judge. Seeing them crying, their family members also started crying. Due to this, there was a sad atmosphere outside the court.
