And the beasts within city limits
Such is the shocking nature of Nithari episode that Mulayam, when asked whether there was actually jungle-raaj in UP couldn’t deny the allegations and merely said that if there was jungle-raaj in UP, then he was its king. No doubt, this ‘jungle kingdom’ has beasts in human garb wandering in cities, devouring and killing fellow human beings at their whims.
Unable to brush aside the issue of killings at Nithari, in which more gruesome developments are being added every passing day, the State administration tried to show that something was being done when it distributed cheques of 2 lakhs each (raised to 5 lakh later) and suspended six policemen, CO, SP-City and the then SSP of Noida. Proof that all this was merely done to silent the raging emotions and the subsequent media glare can be gauged from the fact that there are still cases, like that of a girl named Payal, whose father has not been given the cheque yet.
But too little has been done too late. Who would punish the policemen who refused to register FIRs when the children were being abducted for the last two years, who gave clean chit to Mohnder Singh when complaint was made against him, who subverted the evidence and then considered it their moral duty to lathicharge the aggrieved parents and relatives. All those who acted as patrons or thwarted investigation should be probed.
It seems law and order is only for those with clout and money. Nobody is able to tell how child after child was taken up inside the premises of D-5, sexually violated (as per present beliefs) and killed. More than 40 children have met with the same fate, at the hands of Surendra, Mohinder Singh’s aide in these heinous crimes. More shocking is that while the children from the poor locality continued to be abducted, the neighbouring rich residents continued to lie in slumber, only to wake when one from their own community was kidnapped. Then it became big news.

UP Under Abduction Threat
UP Under Abduction Threat
The state government has been under fire for the poor law and order situation. Proof is here, about 135 abduction cases have been registered in ‘06.
The worst picture was revealed with the news of abduction of Anant Gupta, son of Adobe CEO Naresh Gupta from Noida. This was the first case that drew the attention of government as well as the concerned authorities. Anant was kidnapped few yards away from his home. The police department tried to do its best not to gain adverse publicity as the matter had already become highly publicized, but in vain. After about a week all off a sudden Anant came back to his home. Police claimed to solve the case later though it has been revealed that his father gave ransom amount of 50,00,000 rupees.
Anant’s abduction case brought a chain of abduction cases in light. In this series, on December 8th, Ankit, (13), was kidnapped. Ankit was son of RK Vishwakarma, a technician at SGPGIMS. He was abducted soon after he left his Eldeco Colony residence along with two teenagers on a motorcycle. Later, he was brutally murdered by the kidnappers; police recovered the body in pieces. In this case police took a ‘take it easy’ attitude, perhaps because the case was not that high profile as that of the Adobe CEO’s son. However, two people Vikas Gupta and Satender Singh were arrested for kidnapping.
On 13th December, B Tech II-year student Saif Siddiqui of Integral University disappeared under mysterious circumstances. He was reportedly kidnapped from Vikas Nagar locality when he was on way from Madiaon. When police probed the boy was found in Meerut, this case came under controversy as the police suspected that the case was of faux kidnapping.

These kidnapping and subsequent brutal murder cases seem to have little effect on the lackadaisical attitude of police. A 12-year–old student of Rani Laxmi Bai School, Indira Nagar was abducted. But the cops did not initiate any efforts to trace the boy, despite information given by the victim’s father. The cops sat idle while the boy returned home, giving the abductors a slip.
On 29th of last month, a two and a half year boy Muzamil, son of Tanveer Kamil, was kidnapped by Noor Alam from Thakurgunj area. The abductor was asking for ransom money of ten lakh rupees.
In recent times murder case of Kavita Devi lecturer of Chaudhary Charan Singh University of Meerut again raised questions over the law and order situation in the State. Kavita’s case registered under section 364 (abduction with intent to murder), names of some politicians like Babulal were allegedly involved in the case. The case has given Mulayam Singh Yadav government sleepless nights.
Year ‘06 has ended with the news of gruesome tale of kidnapping and then brutal killing of 18 children in Nithari Village near Noida by a serial killer Surender Koli alias Satish and his master Mohinder Singh. According to police reports, 31 children of Noida were missing from the last two years.
Now it has been clear that the innocent children were kidnapped by them to benefit their self. But it’s still not clear that who would take the responsibility of the safety of the state and people living in this ‘crime capital’? This is surely not the ‘Uttam Pradesh which was visualized by all of us.
