The action of Kerala CM against DCP Chaitra Theresa John for raiding the CPM district committee oftce, Thiruvananthapuram, is unwarranted. Is this office, a place beyond the reach of police?
By taking action against the police officer, the government undermines the gravity of the crime committed by offenders. A gang of party workers pelting stones at the Medical College police station and allowing them to hide in the party office, are serious crimes. The DCP's action, therefore, was in the right direction. The criminal within the police who leaked out the raid news should be booked first.
Being a good police officer is one of the most difficult, dangerous, idealistic jobs in the world. Nevertheless, officers like Chaitra Theresa John place some hope about police in the minds of general public. Her action is a morale boost to the police force.
