No To Royal Dictatorship, No To Maoist Dictatorship, No To Mafia Dictatorship




Some things to note.
  1. Organized crime can be controlled.
  2. What we are seeing for the most part in the Terai today is organized criminal gangs who have been kicked out of Mumbai who have now formed bases in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
  3. The Nepal Police can learn from the Mumbai Police.
  4. When these criminas enter a town for the first time, it is very important for them to kill some non-complying wealthy businessman in a very public way. It makes their extortion work much easier in the aftermath.
  5. A specialized branch inside the Nepal Police will have to be constructed to deal with organized crime. That branch will also have to work to deal with the organized crime in Kathmandu valley and other places.

"an implosion of global and national politics into the urban world"..... a general desolation of the national and global landscape has transposed many bizarre racial, religious, and linguistic enmities into scenarios of unrelieved urban terror....... young unemployed slum-dwellers get recruited into murderous gangs that hold allegiance to the fundamentalist Hindu political organisation known as Shiv Sena, which controls much of Mumbai....... Gangs in Mumbai operate much like the Mungiki do in Nairobi. They regularly extract "protection money" from the urban poor and provide a range of services to slum-dwellers in exchange for a fee, including determining which of the city's streets beggars and hawkers can occupy. Many operate in cahoots with corrupt police officers and politicians, who also demand hafta (Hindi slang for weekly bribe) from poor urban dwellers......... youthful new recruits of today don't care much for religion or politics, which makes them much more dangerous..... "an explosion of formless free-floating urban anger." ....... intensifying programmes geared towards unemployed youth and creating jobs that can absorb them. ....... When the Government is absent or corrupt, criminal gangs take over the provision of services. ....... Arrest and prosecute all corrupt Government officials and politicians and hand out stiff sentences to those found failing in their duties....... do not resort to Bush-like macho tactics.... Beefing up intelligence and security apparatus would be a more appropriate response

According to reports, the victim had mobilised public opinion against local goons and reportedly paid the price for it........ Recent killings have shown that gangsters are not just organised, but meticulous in their operations. It also gives an indication of the extent of planning that goes into the execution of a crime........ gangs have hierarchy, territorial limits, and strike strategic alliances ...... gangs indulge in various crimes like mercenary killings, robbery, theft, dacoity, bootlegging and drug peddling...... Mercenary gangs comprise hardened criminals, who murder for money and undertake criminal jobs like assaulting, disfiguring, maiming, and kidnapping of people.

They possess unlicensed arms and ammunition. They use the latest communication gadgets to stay in touch with each other. They monitor the movements of the police and also their rivals. The gangs hold periodical performance evaluation and review meetings, in true corporate style to keep its members on their toes. The gangsters do their homework thoroughly and shadow their target for days before striking........... A lot of planning goes into a killing. Broadly, there are three stages of operation involved, namely surveillance, planning, organising and execution. The methods employed could be straight or ingenious. It could be shooting, stabbing or a hit and run. Total secrecy is maintained during the killing and gangsters generally wear masks to conceal identity and do not address each other by names. When they are not killing, these gangsters go as henchmen behind politicians, or caste groups or trade unions to supplement their income........ The gangs involved in committing offences like theft, robbery and burglary are equally well organised and have separate `departments' for purposes of surveillance, planning, organising and execution. The gangs have informers for collection of information, executors to conduct operation and middle agents to dispose of the stolen property. Auto drivers, taxi drivers, servants and servant maids are retained as informers. These gangs also engage some of their informers in banks, markets and cash rich places. For example, the gang would strike on receiving information that the occupants of a house are away or that there are only elderly occupants, who are soft targets for housebreaking.................. Prostitution is well organised and finely networked.... The main activities in bootlegging involve distillation, transportation and marketing........ The drug gangs operate in three layers, with the top layer comprising key members of the gang keeping themselves away from the frontline staff. .......

This should have tough provisions like death sentence, life term, minimum fine of Rs. 5 lakhs, permission to the police to intercept wire, electronic or oral communication admissible as evidence against the accused, long term of custody than provided in Cr. P.C......... All cases should be tried quickly and the accused should be imprisoned at the earliest. For this purpose, a court exclusively to deal with organised crime should be established...... Most witnesses do not depose before the court out of fear of the gangs resulting in acquittals for hardened criminals. Heavy security should be given to witnesses during the period of trial and also in its aftermath....... Investigation should expose investments of the criminals in various fictitious and proxy names...... The criminal-politician nexus should be broken....... sale of weapons/arms, forcible eviction of tenants, extortion..... Community policing should be organised in the neighbourhoods where theft, robbery and dacoity occur frequently..... crime prone slum neighbourhood areas should be identified and juveniles in that area should be prevented from becoming members of the criminal gangs through various welfare programmes.
