Erring men in uniform should be treated like common man

After a case of police brutality was exposed by a worker in Kundaim IDC in January 2023 then the nexus of police and a thief which the Goan Varta exposed, later an MLA of AAP brought up the issue of irregularities of a police constable in the Assembly. Another incident of police constable who manhandled a food joint owner at Marcel and now a lady PSI of Margao police station has a case registered against her in connection with the suicide of a senior advocate Jayant Prabhu. There are many unreported cases of unethical behaviour of police where I also was a victim which I reported the case in all forums but to no avail.

If the man in khaki does a grave mistake against the law of the land he should be reprimanded and penalised, and he should be dismissed from service.
