RAWALPINDI: The snail paced filing of challans with regard to heinous crimes like terrorism, murder, attempt to murder and kidnapping for ransom in the courts has raised question mark on the efficiency of district police. The lack of interest and ever plunging graph of police working has put at stake the future of “access to justice programme”. The performance of Rawalpindi district police in filing complete challans of the cases to court stands next to nil as it has sent complete challans of only 1,257 cases out of 11,148 cases to the courts while it has failed to file a single complete challan of the cases of murder, attempt to murder, dacoity, kidnapping for ransom and rape including 19 terrorism cases during last eight months from July, 2015 to February, 2016. Not a single case was registered during the period spanning last eight months in any police station of district Rawalpindi under Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Anti-corruption, National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Customs Act, banking and anti-smuggling clauses. The courts cancelled 116 cases during this period. Police also failed to trace out culprits in 838 cases and investigation into 439 cases was suspended being baseless cases. According to sources, police could not send even a single complete challan in respect of 166 murder cases and 225 attempt to murder cases registered in 30 different police stations in the district Rawalpindi. Only 151 incomplete and interim challans in murder cases and 164 incomplete and interim challans in respect of attempt to murder cases were presented in the courts. The police filed only 18 complete challans out of 450 cases pertaining to injured citizens. Not a solitary complete challan in overall 366 robbery cases could reach the courts. However, 244 incomplete and interim challans were presented in the courts. Likewise, 41 complete challans and 238 incomplete and interim challans in respect of 897 cases of car lifting and motorcycle theft were filed in the court. The complete challans of 13 cases and incomplete and interim challans of 86 cases out of 345 theft case, six complete challans and 129 incomplete and interim challans in 338 kidnapping cases, complete challan of nine out of 252 road accidents cases, complete challan of 15 out of 175 fraud and forgery cases and complete challans of 564 out of 832 arms related cases were sent to the courts. Non-filing of single challan in nine cases of kidnapping for ransom, 32 rape cases and 19 cases of terrorism in the courts during the period of eight months speaks volume for terribly miserable efficiency of district police.
