AHMEDABAD: The city police commissioner has ordered the transfer of two inspectors of Naroda police station on Thursday, in connection with an abduction and honour killing case that was registered last month. The transfers were made as an inquiry constituted by the deputy commissioner of police found the inspectors guilty of not taking timely action and taking the case lightly when it came to them.
According to Naroda police officials, Madhuben Parmar, a resident of Vasantnagar, had filed a complaint on July 23, against Karsan Chavda, a resident of Bhuj. In her complaint, Parmar had mentioned that her son Shyam was in love with a girl named Munni. As consenting adults, Shyam was living with Munni in Parmar's house. However, on June 16, a group led by Chavda barged into her residence and abducted the two. Parmar has received no news of the duo since then.
Later, on July 28, body of a youth was found near Sanand which was later identified as that of Shyam's. Police then arrested five persons, including a woman, in connection with the case. Police had also recorded Munni's statement where she accused her own relatives for Shyam's murder.
Madhuben later wrote an application to Amit Vishwakarma, deputy commissioner of police, Zone IV, urging him to look into the matter. As per her application, police response to her complaint was lax. They preferred to get application of complaint rather than filing an FIR, and also treated it as family feud rather than a serious abduction case.
"G H Gohil and C B Patel, both inspectors of Naroda police station have been transferred on Friday. While Gohil has been transferred to special branch, Patel has been shunted to traffic branch. The post-mortem suggests that Shyam was killed soon after the abduction. As police inspectors, the two should have taken the issue seriously and booked the culprits. The five accused in the case were arrested days after the incident," said a senior city police official.
