MANAGEMENT ABILITY OF 'JUGADU'
IG/RPF SHRI B. S. SIDDHU

In India two things are very common 1st CHALTA HAI and 2nd JUGADU even Times International magazine survey has endorsed this. These two words show the casual working and approach of us Indian even aftermath the tragic incident of terrorist attack in Mumbai. The political class i.e. the ruler, bureaucrat & we common man have ingest these words in our system so much so that we are not bother about the cold blooded killing of innocent citizens, suffering and trauma of injured and their near &dear. Is it not necessary now for us to retrospect why, where and how we went wrong? We should do this to plan our preparedness for near future attacks, fill the flaw in our security measures and book the negligent officers.
In the killing of 57 innocent passengers and injury of 97 others at CST station the approach of IG RPF B. S. Siddhu is of a JUGADU as he managed the things to show the Railway Ministry that nothing went wrong as regard security at CST except the killing of 57 passengers and easy escape route for terrorists. May be the people sitting in Railway board had believed his version as CHALTA HAI but what about the soul of deceased passengers and sufferings of injured and other family members? Will they accept Shri siddu’s story? No they are demanding a through probe to book the culprit who did not provide adequate security in spite of having resources at their disposal.
The areas of probe are
1. Is any emergency preparedness plan was available or security staff were briefed prior to 26/11 with both RPF and GRP to tackle arm intruder at CST or Other big stations of Mumbai? If no then who has to be penalized for this?
2. Why RPF staffs were not provided with INSAS automatic rifles when plenty of them are lying in their armory? Or It is only for those 8 to 10 Commandos who are protecting their chief Shri B. S. Siddhu who is at great security risk in spite of being himself a trained IPS Officer and not the common people?
3. What pledge the security forces bear for their commitment towards their duty? Are they not supposed to protect innocent passenger instead of fleeing for their own life? If the brave like Jullu Yadav get honor for his heroic act the others should be taken up for their negligence .

It is a known fact that in some cases of crime Police do manage to get the things to suit their investigation. But Shri B.S.Siddu has exceeded his type of JUGAD or u can say managed the things by presenting it contrary to what was not a fact. The 3 RPF officers namely Sandip Kiratkar, Kiran Bhosale And Atul Kshirsagar who were shown present by Shri Siddu when the Terrorist struck the CST Station and their participation in engaging the terrorist in gun battle pumping out more than 50 rounds seems to be loosing its ground. Sources revealed that these officers were not present at the time of terrorist killing at CST. They reached the spot when terrorist escape from CST. When Shri Siddu arrived at CST after the incident was over he called these 3 officers and the things were managed.
Here too the question of probe is :-

1. Records of these 3 RPF officers namely Sandip Kiratkar, Kiran Bhosale And Atul Kshirsagar's presence at CST Station when the Terrorist attacked?
2. If we presume they were there at the spot, then why not a single round of these 3 officers hit the 2 Terrorist as they are young and trained officers? Furthermore both the Terrorists were not hiding behind any object they were seen freely moving at their will at all over CST Station and left CST Station by walking and not running.
3. When these officers were present at that time why they did not motivate the other RPF or GRP staff to face the Terrorist instead of fleeing away?
4. Why reinforcement were not sought by them from RPF Cash guard Office where at a given time 6 RPF staff is there for guarding duty? On that day Shri Kiratkar was looking after the charge of Cash guard RPF post. Even on phone they would have come to the rescue of these officers.
5. How and under what circumstances the Terrorists were not chased by these officers Who walked past platform no.1?
6. Why the Mumbai city police personnel who were there in good number outside the CST in front of Mumbai corporation H.Q were not informed about the escape of Terrorists.
7. Footage of CCTV showing Jullu Yadav firing at the Terrorist is there to show his involvement in engaging the Terrorist in the fight. Why not a single footage or photo of these 3 officers are there to show their involvement.
8. Sources also revealed that these officers were shown on record to save the skin by RPF Officers as on that day no one has noticed the footage of Jullu Yadav firing from the rifel of GRP nither he reported it to any body out of fear that he used gun of other constable and only after 4 days the footage of heroic of Jullu was revealed.
9. Times of India Photographer Sebastean D’souza and eyewitness S.S Sharma, food stall owner at CST claimed that no one dared to confront or any counter attack from security forces were seen at CST.
10. Confessional statement of Arrested Terrorist Ajmal malik Qasab recorded by crime branch Mumbai also revealed that only one officer had fired at them at CST and they retaliated and gunned him down. This incident came to the notice now when photograph were released in Mid-Day of December 23 that the officer who fired at terrorists was Ambadas Pawar of Mumbai police Protection unit Ballard Pier.
11. Why Railway board has not confirmed the veracity of facts before rewarding Rs 5 lakh each to Sandeep Kiratkar And Kiran Bhosale and why Atul Kshirsagar was not rewarded? His name is there in the report too. This Money belongs to whom Railway Minister or any Railway officer?
This is not an ordinary crime related incident. This attack of Terrorist was an attack on Nation. Can we accept the JUGAD i.e. managing the things in such a sensitive incident? To whom the public ask all these to the corrupt politician. Aristocratic & Authoritarian bureaucrat...?

SHRI B. S. SIDDHU IS A 'NON RESIDENT AMERICAN'...?

This IPS officer of UP Cadre is a very high profile officer presently working as IG cum CSC Central Railway his stint in Railways always mar with some or the other controversies may it be his personal family related, medical related to brain, partisan in posting of his own man, distributing medals and reward even to the person who is working at his home, renovating his official flat to the tune of lakhs & lakhs of rupees, keeping number of black cat RPF commando with automatic INSAS Rifel, using official car of DSC Pune at CST and converting it into an AC, dismissing both General Secretary and President of recognized All India RPF Association on dubious charges, sending scores of Inspectors of Central Railway with their pet men to Haridwar to create pandemonium in the AGM of AIRPFA and last but not the least, recent controversy of role of RPF in providing proper security to the passengers either killed or injured in the Terrorist attack at CST.
Shri B. S. Siddhu is called 'NON RESIDENT AMERICAN' as he had visited USA for number of times as it is being said that his mother stays there. But now since last 4 months the RPF staff is working relentlessly in 12 hours shift with very minimal rest or leave. In Mumbai itself around 60% of RPF staff is from out division transferred in last 2 years and they all want to visit their family but they are being denied their just right. On the contrary in spite of Emergency prevailed on Railways leave was sanctioned by Railway Ministry in all the big Vacation i.e. Summer vacation, Diwali vacation and now Winter vacation to enable him to take his kids for holidays to USA. But leave of the lower staff were refused on the name of bandobast during Ganesh Chaturthi, Dashara, Diwali and Christmas. This is also a controversy of Shri Siddhu regarding leave.
