Member of the Legislative Assembly of Gopalganj in Bihar, Ramsevak Singh has been arrested for assault. Seems that his brother's wife contested an election for the post of Mukhia of the local panchayat and lost. First his bodyguards assaulted 2 relatives of the winner, then they beat up Vishal Singh and Rakesh Dubey, took them to the MLA's house and poured petrol into their rectums. The two were rescued by a local police team. In UP, one Amir has been arrested for for selling a teenage girl into prostitution. Local police refused to register a complaint when they learnt that Amir is the brother of the local MLA. Parents of the girl probably paid Amir to bring the girl back from Delhi, where she had been taken, and then complained again whereupon the police arrested Amir. A senior IAS officer from UP, Shankar Aggarwal has been accused of illegally building a 3 storey building on government land and cutting down several protected trees from a nearby wildlife sanctuary in Uttarakhand. The Uttarakhand government is writing to the UP government to take action because IAS officers cannot be arrested or prosecuted without government permission. An IIT student, Piyush was stopped at Dadar railway station by some policemen who searched his belongings without any warrant and accused him of having pornographic pictures on his cell phone. He had to withdraw money from an ATM to pay them of when they threatened him with arrest. When IIT authorities took up the case the money was returned with an apology. Politicians, civil servants and police in India are all criminals. When the state is the enemy citizens are helpless.
