Junior police mutiny on polls

By a Special Correspondent

Junior Police officers have decided to ensure a free and fair election defying wrong and partial orders of superior officers on Election Day on January 26, sources said.
According to reliable sources, a majority of Inspectors of the ‘Police Inspectors’ Association’ fully endorse this decision.
“Police officers had never organized themselves in this manner before to uphold a free and fair election as high ranking officials often support the violation of election laws expecting certain privileges from politicians” Police sources said.
Lower ranking officers have been motivated to take this step as some OICs were harassing supporters of some candidates and encouraging the supporters of ther candidates, and were abusing the law, a police officer said.
It is reported that these lower ranking police officers are ready to take suitable action in the event any incident breaks out at polling booths. They have taken a unanimous decision to take action against law breakers inside polling booths without taking into consideration the party they belong to. They want to ensure a free and fair election.
These police officers have got tipped off from intelligence units that underworld gangs, organized criminals and army deserters have been set up by politicians to unleash violence on election day.
