AIYL against Police

Youth League's protest rally against police

COOCH BEHAR, Nov. 23: Activists of the Cooch Behar district unit of the All India Youth League (AIYL) took out a protest rally in the town today. Later, they demonstrated in front of the Kotowali police station against the anti-people role of a section of police. They also submitted a memorandum containing a six-point charter of demands to the inspector-in-charge of the police station.

 

General secretary of the Cooch Behar district unit of the AIYL, Mr Gopal Dey alleged that trading of women-flesh has been going on in a number of hotels in the town. Police should take up strict measures to stop this nuisance. The policemen on night patrolling duty were very often found in an intoxicated state, he alleged. The IC, Mr Gautam Ghosal assured the AIYL leaders of taking stern steps against the policemen if found guilty.

 

In the memorandum, the AIYL demanded police to act impartially, winding up of the gambling dens, end of online-lottery draws, stern measures against anti-social elements ignoring political intervention and end of applying force to suppress democratic movements.
