Government told to pay Rs 5 lkh to kin of biker shot by cops

NEW DELHI: Police firing at bikers on Ashoka Road last July that led to the death of teenager Karan Pandey was disproportionate to the threat, and showed negligence and error of judgment, National Human Rights Commission has observed relying on a magisterial inquiry report. It has recommended that the Delhi government pay Rs 5 lakh as compensation to Karan's next-of-kin. Karan, 19, was riding pillion on a bike at Windsor Place when inspector Rajneesh Parmar fired at its rear tyre.

NHRC has asked the chief secretary, Delhi to submit the proof of payment along with the report on departmental proceedings initiated against the delinquent cops within six weeks.

Karan's mother, a widow, told TOI that she does not want any compensation but strict action against the erring cop. "Now, even the magistrate's report has indicted the cops who took away my only son. I have also requested the police commissioner to book the inspector for murder but nobody has paid heed to my pleas. What will I do with the money? My only son is gone now. I want the killer to be punished," she said.

National Human Rights Commission had taken cognizance of the incident on the basis of complaints and intimation received from the deputy commissioner of police, New Delhi. It observed that the inquiry magistrate found negligence and error of judgment on the part of Parmar.

The magistrate also observed that the force used was disproportionate to the threat perceived by the PCR officials, and police's version of heavy stone pelting was "highly doubtful" in the light of CCTV footage and statements of witnesses.

The report found serious inconsistencies in the evidence, versions and sequence of events narrated by cops. The magistrate has written to the lieutenant governor and the home department recommending action against Parmar. Two other policemen accompanying Parmar have been indicted. "The number of bikers, claimed by Parmar and the two other policemen ranges from 30-40 to 150-200," it said.
