Where Police Boss Encourages Crime

The boss of Nepal Police uses his subordinates to perpetrate crimes. But the state is taking no action against him even after the crime cases have been reported in the media.

Crime of a Policeman: She lost her husband and a son when a police Inspector enjoying the protection of Chief of Nepal Police Shyam Bhakta Thapa killed them. The killer is at large, police can’t find him and they haven’t received compensation. And the boss is still enjoying the Nepali people’s hard money to fill his corrupt stomach.

Today’s Kantipur publishes a letter titled “Quite Inspector General” in its popular column “Letter to the Editor” with a photo of IG of Police Shyam Bhakta Thapa attached. The writer of the letter Deepak Raj Oli of Kathmandu raises very interesting and thought provoking questions and arguments that need to be addressed by the government and the police organization as soon as possible. He was responding to the series of news published in the daily about misdeeds, corruption and killings by a police inspector under the direct protection of IGP. “This case proves that there could be no fair hearing against corruption in the king’s rule. IGP Thapa is quite even after an allegation of this scale. Home Minister is unable to take any action [against him]. The impression on general public is that there is no organization to take actions against anyone. News on papers would have swift impact had there been a political government. Issues of corruption have been shadowed because of king’s direct rule. Such an environment has been created in which corruption is growing rapidly.”

“A Police Inspector can never make a big house [pic below which we first saw on the front page of Kantipur the other day] in an expensive area of Kathmandu like Bishal Nagar within three or four years of job. News has come that he has made many other houses like that. He has been officially charged of kidnapping people, brining them into the Police Headquarters and looting them. The quietness of Nepal Police has become a stark reality in such a regime even after the fact that Inspector did all those dirty things with the knowledge of IGP Thapa has been widely publicized.”

“How and which what morality the lower rung police officers work in a police force whose chief is like IGP Thapa? Honest police officers must have bowed their head in shame. My sympathy goes to those policemen who have to fight the guns and bombs of Maoists with poor training and inefficient arms.”

Here is background of the case:

A group led by Police Inspector Suresh Dhungana kidnapped two Nepalese of Tibetan origin on Magh 16 (Martyrs Day which is also the public holiday in Nepal), brought them in the Police Headquarters and looted Rs. 1.1 million from them. Inspector Dhungana enjoys a close relationship with the IGP. He is the son of IGP’s priest. IGP Thapa recruited Dhungana in Police Organization in 2055 BS when the former was DIG in Biratnagar. Dhungana works at the Personal Secretariat of IGP Thapa in Police Headquarters.

Kathmandu Police arrested two people including record holding Everest climber Pemba Dorjee Sherpa on the basis of victim’s complain. [Kantipur’s Khim Ghale first reported about this news on Feb 16 (Falgun 4).] They are being investigated by the police. Kathmandu Police was looking for Inspector Dhungana but couldn’t arrest him because of the protection he enjoyed from IGP Thapa. Investigating officers at the Kathmandu Police suspect Assistant Sub Inspector Kiran Joshi of the IGP’s Secretariat is also involved in the plot.

According to reports filed by journalist Kedar Ojha in Kantipur daily, sources say that Dhungana didn’t receive ancestral properties. But he bought a big house in Bishalnagar worth Rs. 9.3 million and was living there before this case came into news. He allegedly kidnapped a businessman in New Road last year and received a car as ransom.

Dhungana’s group used to roam around the country allegedly extorting money from businessmen. Two months ago a TATA mobile van driven by Dhungana killed two people (father and son) of Sapthari on Mahendra Highway. Sapthari District Police arrested and took him to Eastern Regional Police Office, Biratnagar. Citing his close relationship with IGP Thapa, Inspector Dhungana fired two rounds of bullets in the office premise and walked away. The family of the killed hasn’t got compensation as yet.

Senior police officers suspect that IGP Thapa is using Inspector Dhungana for illegal extortion of money from various businessmen. Kantipur’s Ojha quotes senior officials as saying that as IGP Thapa and Inspector Dhungana enjoy close personal and financial relationships, Thapa is always preventing investigators from taking action against Dhungana. It is believed that Inspector Dhungana has fled Nepal with IGP Thapa paving him save exit.

It is widely believed that many corrupt folks occupy high positions in Nepal Police. They use the state machinery to do illegal things just as the IGP Thapa did in the cover the Inspector Dhungaha. There is no doubt that Inspector Dhungana is just a pawn of IGP Thapa. But the country is shocked, as letter writer Deepak Raj Oli suggests, and Nepal has become a land of lawlessness.

this is how the nation's ruining mates .. !

We wonder why maoist are getting support from more than 50% of Nepalese? Why maoist are getting new recruits everyday? Why people do not shed tears when security forces are killed?

When a corrupt cop get protection from highest level, how can you expect people to sympathized with them. More than common people, I feel sad for those lower rank poor soldiers who die in battle front, but no one cares for them. Higher ranks of security forces are busy with corruption money. Maoist still do not realize with this war they are wipping out the poor people the very people for whom they claim they are fighting for. Leaders what the heck they will not even care if their own mother is raped, they just need "Kursi". King forget it all he need is power, few more rolls royaces, how can you trust a king who is mafiaso boss whose own son and son in law are biggest mafiaso bosses to punish other gundas/mafias. Moreover, all king needs is way to suck more nepalese blood so that he can bath on them, no matter how many more nepalese have to die for it.

One thing is for sure ,IGP protected dhungana and made him run away because if he is caught IGP will be exposed in process too. And I am not surprised IGP is quiet and no one ready to punish him. Come on he is from the very same Thapa clan who are enjoying the autonomous power in home ministry right now. Thap Home minister, Thapa chief of army, thapa IGP of civil police, thapa IGP of armed police. Now who will punish them?

Lastly, Gyanendra promised a free and fair government when he took power in Feb 1st, is this his definition of free and fair government. Well this is not first case of crime, and there are not first criminals in current regime so why would he care.

All he need is as much money as he can suck from nepal and nepalese, remaining he leaves it on Pasupatinath. "Hami ra Hamra bhai bharadar ko chahi hami bichar gari baksane chaun, banki ni mukha Nepali janta ko chahi Pasupati Nath le rakshya garun..."

Who is the best at catching computer hackers. It's no one else but hackers themselves and not the network security experts. This is the reason why former hackers are sometimes hired by companies that deal with network safety to close the holes that might be used by hackers because as former hackers they know axactly how to get around things.

Similarly the police has to have the experience of becoming a docoit to be able to catch even the most smart docoits.

Khaobadi convincing idea, cannot disaggree with it ;-).

But I think in this case, a person became hacker after hired as network security, and continued hacking using company property and protection enjoying close ties with CEO. When people he hacked into knocked on company's door for explanation and justice. CEO turned deaf and went on vacation to Bangkok with his mistress whore.
