Read about Human Rights activist and Video Volunteers’ Community Correspondent Aparna Marandi and her 4 year old son Alok’s unconstitutional arrest by the Jharkhand police here- Day 1, Day 2, Day 3.
This happened today. 12th December, 2012.
At 10.06am, Video Volunteers called Shri. G.S.Rath and asked him the whereabouts of Aparna Marandi?
His response: Mera Kya Lena Dena? (What do I have to do about it?)
So if one is to take the DGP’s statement into account, it bears asking the question – who is responsible for policing in Jharkhand?
So let us hear it from the horse’s mouth.
