Cobrapost which carried out the sting operation on Babri demolition a few days ago has now come up with another expose that claims Congress government in 1984 didn't allow the Delhi police to act against those involved in the anti-Sikh riots.
According to the news portal several former Delhi police officials have confessed that the force colluded with the government of the time "to teach Sikhs a lesson" for the assassination of former prime minister Indira Gandhi.
In it's press release, Cobrapost also claims that its special Correspondent Asit Dixit met all these officials who are now retired, enjoying all the perks and benefits made the following confessions:
• Warnings about the simmering communal sentiments against Sikhs went unheard by senior officers
• While news of arson and rioting bombarded the police control rooms, only two per cent of the messages were recorded
• Police logbooks were conveniently changed to eliminate evidence of inaction on the part of senior officers
• Some officers did not act for fear of punishment being transferred
• Some police officers dumped bodies of victims somewhere else to minimize riot-related crimes
• The police did not allow the victims of rioting file FIRs or when they filed FIRs, they clubbed many cases of murder and arson that took in disparate places in one FIR
• Messages were broadcast directing police to not take action against rioters who were shouting slogans of ‘Indira Gandhi zindabad’
• The government of the day did not allow the police to act while creating an impression that the police were not performing their duty
• Senior police officers did not allow their subordinates to open fire on rioters
• Even the Fire Brigade refused to move to areas where cases of arson had been reported by police.
