The police force in Kerala has been often subjected to criticism because of the politicians and their unholy alliances with criminals. As always, a majority of the police force are allegedly trying to please their political matters and justice is a far gone concept in their eyes. Various political parties and the politicians have used police to play to their tunes and made them do ‘things’. Many of these dirty inside stories have come out in open by the people who committed the crime (according to the order of the superiors), like in the case of the murder of Varghese, a radical leftist leader of 70’s. The period of Emergency has shown us the power of police-politcian nexus. This was the time when the Rajan case rocked Kerala and Rajan is still “missing”. K Karunakaran, the then home minister of Congress, was infamous for using the police force to serve his political needs.

After a long time, the politicians-police nexus is back to discussion again with the murder of Paul M George, scion of Muthoot group. The case has rocked Kerala and the actions of the police in this case have been put to criticism by the media. The media criticism says that the Communist Home minister and his son have alleged links with the two criminals who were traveling with Paul in his car and supposedly have a major role in the murder and the police is trying to protect them. Asianet News channel has done an investigation to show that the S-shaped knife which the police exhibited before the media and said was used for the murder, was actually made by a blacksmith on order of the police. The blacksmith is now “hiding”. The interesting thing is that the Muthoot family has not yet talked in open about the case, which itself is suspicious.

The whole issue has raised concerns about the security of common man in Kerala. The rulers and the police who are supposed to ensure a peaceful life for the citizens are forming alliances with criminals. The police has so much enthusiasm in insulting the common man for a petty case or even for an inquiry, but see how they bend themselves before their political masters and their criminal right hands. What security does a common man have in such a situation?

Also it is funny to see that the politicians are trying to reap over the whole issue. Congress and BJP alike. Even though the popular belief is that the criminals roam around freely during the Communist regime than any other regime, we cannot ignore the fact that every single political party has their own set of goons in the name of party workers. And Congress may need to revisit the history to see how their own leaders have used police for their own goals. BJP, well, we all know how the police was used by them in other states. As for Communists, there is a saying in Malayalam – aNayaan pOvunna thee aaLi katthum. So shine as long as you can, because you will be blown off in the wind in a very short while.
