This entire FIR seems to be glued together with the sworn testimony of the witness Mr. Meharban Singh Sodhi. Now who is this Meharban Singh Sodhi? Is he even Meherban Singh Sodhi or is he actually a Mr. Resham Singh Bains, who happens to be a british national, currently residing at 85 Kailash Hills, New Delhi. We don’t really know whether his real name is Meherban Singh Sodhi or Resham Singh Bains. Hence, how can such a witness have any kind of credibility when he happens to be a person of least amount of credibility?

Whatever the person’s real name is, the fact is, that he last landed in India on a british passport (number 301674642, issued on June 30, 2002) issued in the name of Mr. Reshm SIngh Bains. Mr. Bains (or Mr. Sodhi) resides at the above mentioned address and also happens to posses an Indian passport. The pictures on both the passports are a perfect likeness of the same person.

The fact of the matter is, that Meherban SIngh/Resham Singh is a career criminal and has committed multiple frauds in India and in several other countries. He has been travelling on a the above passport, in which has has stolen the identity of legitimate british national, who may or may not even be currently alive. Resham Singh Bains is currently wanted in the U.K., by the Fraud Office of the U.K. Government.

Another criminal Mr. Davinder Sharma, alais Garner who happens to be a well know underworld character, surprisingly accompanied the Ghazibad Police to Goa, in oder to arrest the 78 year old Mr. Chopra. They even made sure that Mr. Chopra’s dramatic arrest was captured on camera and video and the major news media was promptly informed of the arrest. Davinder Sharma was seen on tv, accompanying the Ghazibad Police at the secene of Mr. Chopra’s arrest and subsequently, in the Goa court, where Mr. Chopra was brought. What Ghaziabad Police failed to investigate was that the Chopra family had filed a lawsuit against Davinder Sharma in December 2008, for extortion and harrassment. Mr. Chopra’s arrest was a retaliatory act by Devendra Sharma, to get even with the Chopra for having filed the lawsuit against them. The actual complainant Atindra Jain never ever met with any member of the Chopra family and hence, there was no question of him ever having loaned any money to them.

A very important fact to be noted here is that Resham Singh was an employee of Gurvinder Chopra in in London, U.K. and was subsequently brought to India to work for him over there, as his driver. It was then, that that Gurvinder Chopra found out that Resham SIngh’s real name is not Rashm Singh Bains, but is Meharban Singh Sodhi and that Meharban Singh stole the identity of one Mr. Resham Singh Bains in the U.K. and obtained a passport in his name, but with his own picture. At that point, Gurvinder Chopra dismissed Meharban Singh. Further, Gurvinder Chopra found out that Meharban Singh had stolen several of his belongings, including the check book mentioned in the Atinder Jain, F.I.R.. Somewhere along, Maherban Singh got in touch with Davinder Sharma (who happened to be an adverary of Gurvinder Chopra) and colluded with him plan this entire F.I.R. Atindra Jain is merely a decoy of Davinder Sharma and he never ever met with any member of the Chopra family.

Davinder Sharma bribed several officials and members of the Ghaziabad Police, in order to achieve his agenda. In reply to the Chopra family’s extortion case against Davinder Sharma, he gave a sworn statement to the Delhi Police Crime Brand Division in Sunlight Colony that he had given Rs. 60 crores to the Chopra family, in cash, as a loan. The Chopra family denied those allegations, but Davinder Sharma never got arrested against the Chopra family’s complaint. Since he is a well-known underworld operator, the police would never touch him, due the the power and the connections that he has. He several charges pending agianst him in the Crime Branch Speciall Cell at the Sunlight Colony Police Station, in New Delhi. Those charges include murder, extortion and criminal conspiracy. It is very strange that when Davinder Sharma claimed in his statement with the police that he loaned the alleged amount of Rs. 60 crore in cash to the Chopra family, they never tried to find out where Davinder Sharma got such a huge amount of cash from. Rs. 60 crore is an extremely large sum of money, especially in cash form. He should have been investigated by the Income Tax Department, to reveal the sources of such huge sum of money and whether or not, has has paid any income taxes against that money.

Disrepair of Police Forces and Lack of Accountability Contribute to Rights Violations

The Indian government should take major steps to overhaul a policing system that facilitates and even encourages human rights violations, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. For decades, successive governments have failed to deliver on promises to hold the police accountable for abuses and to build professional, rights-respecting police forces.

The 118-page report, “Broken System: Dysfunction, Abuse and Impunity in the Indian Police,” documents a range of human rights violations committed by police, including arbitrary arrest and detention, torture and extrajudicial killings. The report is based on interviews with more than 80 police officers of varying ranks, 60 victims of police abuses, and numerous discussions with experts and civil society activists. It documents the failings of state police forces that operate outside the law, lack sufficient ethical and professional standards, are overstretched and outmatched by criminal elements, and unable to cope with increasing demands and public expectations. Field research was conducted in 19 police stations in Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, and the capital, Delhi.

“India is modernizing rapidly, but the police continue to use their old methods: abuse and threats,” said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “It’s time for the government to stop talking about reform and fix the system.”

A fruit vendor in Varanasi described how police tortured him to extract confessions to multiple, unrelated false charges:

“[M]y hands and legs were tied; a wooden stick was passed through my legs. They started beating me badly on the legs with lathis (batons) and kicking me. They were saying, ‘You must name all the members of the 13-person gang.’ They beat me until I was crying and shouting for help. When I was almost fainting, they stopped the beating. A constable said, ‘With this kind of a beating, a ghost would run away. Why won’t you tell me what I want to know?’ Then they turned me upside down… They poured water from a plastic jug into my mouth and nose, and I fainted.”

Read additional accounts from victims of police abuse.

Several police officers admitted to Human Rights Watch that they routinely committed abuses. One officer said that he had been ordered to commit an “encounter killing,” as the practice of taking into custody and extra-judicially executing an individual is commonly known. “I am looking for my target,” the officer said. “I will eliminate him. … I fear being put in jail, but if I don’t do it, I’ll lose my position.”

Almost every police officer interviewed by Human Rights Watch was aware of the boundaries of the law, but many believed that unlawful methods, including illegal detention and torture, were necessary tactics of crime investigation and law enforcement.

The Indian government elected in May has promised to pursue police reforms actively. Human Rights Watch said that a critical step is to ensure that police officers who commit human rights violations, regardless of rank, will face appropriate punishment.

“Police who commit or order torture and other abuses need to be treated as the criminals they are,” said Adams. “There shouldn’t be one standard for police who violate the law and another for average citizens.”

Human Rights Watch also said that while not excusing abuses, abysmal conditions for police officers contribute to violations. Low-ranking officers often work in difficult conditions. They are required to be on-call 24 hours a day, every day. Instead of shifts, many work long hours, sometimes living in tents or filthy barracks at the police station. Many are separated from their families for long stretches of time. They often lack necessary equipment, including vehicles, mobile phones, investigative tools and even paper on which to record complaints and make notes.

Police officers told Human Rights Watch that they used “short-cuts” to cope with overwhelming workloads and insufficient resources. For instance, they described how they or others cut caseloads by refusing to register crime complaints. Many officers described facing unrealistic pressure from their superiors to solve cases quickly. Receiving little or no encouragement to collect forensic evidence and witness statements, tactics considered time-consuming, they instead held suspects illegally and coerced them to confess, frequently using torture and ill-treatment.

“Conditions and incentives for police officers need to change,” Adams said. “Officers should not be put into a position where they think they have to turn to abuse to meet superiors’ demands, or obey orders to abuse. Instead they should be given the resources, training, equipment, and encouragement to act professionally and ethically.”

“Broken System” also documents the particular vulnerability to police abuse of traditionally marginalized groups in India. They include the poor, women, Dalits (so-called “untouchables”), and religious and sexual minorities. Police often fail to investigate crimes against them because of discrimination, the victims’ inability to pay bribes, or their lack of social status or political connections. Members of these groups are also more vulnerable to arbitrary arrest and torture, especially meted out by police as punishment for alleged crimes.

Colonial-era police laws enable state and local politicians to interfere routinely in police operations, sometimes directing police officers to drop investigations against people with political connections, including known criminals, and to harass or file false charges against political opponents. These practices corrode public confidence.

In 2006, a landmark Supreme Court judgment mandated reform of police laws. But the central government and most state governments have either significantly or completely failed to implement the court’s order, suggesting that officials have yet to accept the urgency of comprehensive police reform, including the need to hold police accountable for human rights violations.

“India’s status as the world’s largest democracy is undermined by a police force that thinks it is above the law,” said Adams. “It’s a vicious cycle. Indians avoid contact with the police out of fear. So crimes go unreported and unpunished, and the police can’t get the cooperation they need from the public to prevent and solve crimes.”

“Broken System” sets out detailed recommendations for police reform drawn from studies by government commissions, former Indian police, and Indian groups. Among the major recommendations are:

• Require the police to read suspects their rights upon arrest or any detention, which will increase institutional acceptance of these safeguards;
• Exclude from court any evidence police obtain by using torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment in suspect interrogations;
• Bolster independent investigations into complaints of police abuse and misconduct through national and state human rights commissions and police complaints authorities; and
• Improve training and equipment, including strengthening the crime-investigation curriculum at police academies, training low-ranking officers to assist in crime investigations, and providing basic forensic equipment to every police officer.

Selected Accounts from ‘Broken System’

“She was kept in the police station all night. In the morning, when we went to meet her, they said she had killed herself. They showed us her body, where she was hanging from a tree inside the police station. The branch was so low, it is impossible that she hanged herself from it. Her feet were clean, although there was wet mud all around and she would have walked through it to reach the tree. It is obvious that the police killed her and then pretended she had committed suicide.”

- Brother-in-law of Gita Pasi, describing her death in police custody in Uttar Pradesh in August 2006

“We have no time to think, no time to sleep. I tell my men that a victim will only come to the police station because we can give him justice, so we should not beat him with a stick. But often the men are tired and irritable and mistakes take place.”

- Gangaram Azad, a sub-inspector who heads a rural police station in Uttar Pradesh state

“They say, ‘investigate within 24 hours,’ but they never care about how I will do [that]; what are the resources. … There is use of force in sensational cases because we are not equipped with scientific methods. What remains with us? A sense of panic surrounds our mind that if we don’t come to a conclusion we will be suspended or face punishment. We are bound to fulfill the case, we must cover the facts in any way.”

- Subinspector working near Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh

“Often, it is our superiors who ask us to do wrong things. It is hard for us to resist. I remember, one time, my officer had asked me to beat up someone. I said that the man would be refused bail and would rot in jail and that was enough punishment. But that made my officer angry.”

- Constable in Uttar Pradesh

“With all the mental stress, the 24-hour law-and-order duty, the political pressure, a person may turn to violence. How much can a person take? … We have to keep watch on an accused person, their human rights, but what about us? Living like this 24 hours. We are not claiming that our power makes us born to work all the times. Sometimes we beat or detain illegally, because our working conditions, our facilities are bad. So we are contributing to creating criminals, militants.”

- Inspector in charge of a police station in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh

The US-based group Human Rights Watch says India’s policing system facilitates and even encourages abuses. It says there has been little change in attitudes, training or equipment since the police was formed in colonial times with the aim to control the population. It says the government must take major steps to overhaul a failing system.

There was no immediate response from the Indian authorities.

‘Shocking’

The BBC’s Damian Grammaticas in Delhi says the catalogue of abuses by India’s police detailed in this report is long and shocking – arbitrary arrests, beatings and torture to force confessions, even the cold-blooded gunning down of innocent people.

The police are often a law unto themselves, say campaigners

“[M]y hands and legs were tied; a wooden stick was passed through my legs. They started beating me badly on the legs with lathis [batons] and kicking me,” the report quoted a fruit vendor in the city of Varanasi as saying.

“They beat me until I was crying and shouting for help. When I was almost fainting, they stopped the beating… Then they turned me upside down… They poured water from a plastic jug into my mouth and nose, and I fainted,” he said.

Human Rights Watch spent a year investigating claims of human rights violations to compile the 118-page report, entitled “Broken System: Dysfunction, Abuse and Impunity in the Indian Police”.

It says the report is based on interviews with more than 80 police officers of varying ranks, 60 victims of police abuses and numerous discussions with experts and civil society activists.

The report says that “abysmal conditions for police officers contribute to violations”.

Human Rights Watch says it spoke to 80 police officers

Ill-equipped and under pressure to fight crime, police officers often take the law into their own hands, it says.

“Low-ranking officers often work in difficult conditions. They are required to be on-call 24 hours a day, every day. Instead of shifts, many work long hours, sometimes living in tents or filthy barracks at the police station.

“Many are separated from their families for long stretches of time. They often lack necessary equipment, including vehicles, mobile phones, investigative tools and even paper on which to record complaints and make notes.”

Human Rights Watch says that as India has modernised fast, its police have been left behind.

“India is modernising rapidly, but the police continue to use their old methods: abuse and threats,” said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch.

“It’s time for the government to stop talking about reform and fix the system.”

The authorities require a major overhaul – otherwise the beatings, torture and illegal killings will continue to stain India’s democracy, the report adds.

Five of the pictures were published by The Times of London on their website. Below are the pictures and the article. One of the pictures is kind of graphic though not as bad as you would think. I have seen PG-13 movies with worse gore than the last of the five pictures.

This episode in India gets me to thinking about whether or not some of the police in this country might be carrying out contract killings or contract life ruining arrests, where even if the person is completely innocent their life is still ruined. The NWO uses this tactic all the time to bring down the people that are outing their agenda’s. So many courageous whistle blowers have been murdered for bringing us the truth in America. It is really disheartening that people do not take their messages seriously. Obviously if they were not telling the truth, they would have not been killed. People in this country really need to wake up about the New World Order, the Alien/UFO Agenda’s and the truth about our spirit souls. The people that control us know these truths and they keep them from you to keep you unhappy and in the darkness. The more unhappy we are the more they can control us and the less successful we will be, which means more money for them.

Articles like the one below should be a wake up call for people around the world. If you still think that all is well in our world, please stop being delusional, things are far from being good for any of us.

Pictures show broad-daylight ‘killing’ of suspect by Indian police in market

Chongkham Sanjit, 27, is arrested by police commandos in a post office in the capital of Manipur, northeast India. The red arrow shows his short journey from arrest to the place of his daylight killing

Mr Sanjit is apparently going willingly with the commandos who have arrested him. He does not appear armed, as was claimed by the officers after his death

But an officer reaches for his pistol as Mr Sanjit is escorted. They are standing barely 500 metres from the state assembly

Then Mr Sanjit is dragged by the commandos into the pharmacy, where he is apparently killed

Mr Sanjit’s dead body is then thrown into a truck. On the left is the body of a pregnant woman caught in the crossfire of an earlier police shootout

by Times Online

Indian police have been photographed apparently carrying out an extra-judicial killing of a hospital attendant in a busy market in the first such exposé of a practice that rights activists say is increasingly rife within the country’s police force.

The police originally said that they shot dead Chongkham Sanjit, 27, when he fired on them as they were chasing him through the market in the northeastern state of Manipur, on the border with Burma, on July 23.

The Manipur Police Commandos said they had recovered a 9mm Mauser pistol from the dead man, whom they accused of being a member of a banned separatist group — one of

But photographs published by the Tehelka investigative magazine clearly show police commandos approaching an unarmed Sanjit, frisking him and bundling him into a pharmacy, as one officer reaches for his pistol.

The officers are then shown dragging out his corpse moments later and loading it on to the back of a truck alongside that of a pregnant woman shot dead in the crossfire of an earlier police shootout.

The apparent killing took place in broad daylight — at about 10.30am — and only 500 metres from the building where the legislative assembly was meeting in Imphal, Manipur’s capital.

Tehelka said the images had been taken by a local photographer, who did not dare publish them in Manipur for fear of recrimination from the local police.

Human rights campaigners said it was the first time they could remember there being such incriminating visual evidence of what in India is known as a “fake encounter killing”.

“Is this the first time there has been such compelling evidence? I’d say yes,” Meenakshi Ganguly of Human Rights Watch told The Times.

Suhas Chakma, Director of the Delhi-based Asian Centre for Human Rights, said: “This is the first case where the actual killing has been caught on camera.” Police in India often kill people in “fake encounters” — staged shootouts with alleged suspects — but it is usually almost impossible to prove because they always claim that the victims were armed.

The practice began in the 1980s as a way to eliminate dangerous suspects whom police said could not be convicted in court because of widespread corruption and witness intimidation.

On Tuesday, Human Rights Watch published a report documenting a range of human rights abuses committed by Indian police, including aribtrary arrests, torture and extra-judicial killings.

“India is modernising rapidly, but the police continue to use their old methods: abuse and threats,” said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “It’s time for the Government to stop talking about reform and fix the system.”

The local government in Manipur originally stood by the police, who claimed that Sanjit had pulled out a pistol after they tried to frisk him, and then fired at least four shots, accidentally killing the pregnant woman bystander.

But after several days of violent protests across Manipur, and the publication of the photographs, the Government has now suspended the six police officers involved and ordered a judicial inquiry.

Okram Ibobi Singh, Manipur’s Chief Minister, said he had been misled by his own police chief.

“I admit I said Sanjit was an active member of the separatist People’s Liberation Army (PLA), because that is what the police chief told me,” he told a news conference.

“Now I know he had surrendered and apparently was not involved in the activities of his former organization.” Sanjit is reported to have left the PLA on health grounds in 2006, and to have been living with his family and working as an attendant in a private hospital ever since.

“Further action will depend on the outcome of the judicial inquiry,” the Chief Minister said.

However, activists warned that a judicial inquiry could take years, and that members of the security forces accused in several previous cases had yet to be held to account.

Securing convictions in such cases is particularly hard in Manipur because it is covered by the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, which allows security forces to arrest, torture and kill without fear of prosecution.

Mr Chakma of the ACHR said that he had documented 19 encounter killings in Manipur last year alone and more than 50 over the past five years, the highest number for any state in India.
