What happens when guardians of law turn into law breakers themselves?
With the Commissioner of Police AK Khan giving orders to tighten the security at the Andhra Pradesh High Court in view of Chief Justice Nisar Ahmed Kakru getting threats to his life, Special Task Force teams have been entrusted to guard the precincts of the High Court.
When the supposed guardians of the court err on carrying out their duties, the state of affairs will fast deteroriate. Such was the case at the High Court when lawyers, policemen and the general public were dumbstruck at a commotion created by a cop at the court precincts on Friday.
According to eyewitnesses, Gopal Rao, an STF constable created a ruckus inside the court premises under the influence of alcohol.
The constable even abused his superiors and when his fellow constables tried to calm him down he used vulgar language and jostled with them, the sources observed.
Gopal Rao was finally subdued by his colleagues and taken to Osmania General Hospital where he was detoxified.
According to police sources a stern action will be taken against Gopal Rao, but when reports last came no such thing has been initiated agaisnt him.
