Encounter with Vikas Dubey Kanpur and an endless queue of corruption, even Bollywood wants to change their script, but I think our system does not allow them to do so. Vikas Dubey’s story is the same old age saga we saw many times in Bollywood, but now the role of villain and hero played by the police, like in the movie Dabang
There can be many reasons for criminals like Vikas Dubey to reach that level, where he became a monster even to those who created him, But there are three reasons that are responsible for this corrupt system.
1. Electoral financing: If any political party promises to fight corruption without revealing its political funding, it means they are only playing in the gallery. Political financing is the first step when criminals want to go from black to white. According to the ADR report, 43% of the newly elected MPs have a criminal record against them and the 2018-19 ADR report said seven Indian national parties raised 67% of funds from unknown sources that cannot be traced.
These data show that there are many opportunities available for criminals like Vikas Dubey to enter the system and create havoc in society. It can only bring about a positive change in the system, if you fight and win an election with your hard-earned money or if you have a process that encourages cleanliness. Electoral financing.
2. Corrupt judiciary: Vikas Dubey in 30 years has 65 criminal cases, including 5 murder cases against him. In 2001 Vikas Dubey killed State Minister BJP leader Santosh Shukla inside the Shivali police station in broad daylight in front of 25 non-resistance police, then all witnesses became hostile and Vikas Dubey was acquitted by the court.
The above scenario shows that how orderly, prolonged and compromising our judicial process, criminals trust that even if the police catch them, they will easily get bail from the court and no matter how heinous the crime they have committed, even today The Encounter Vikas Dubey’s by UP police reflects this reality and they knew how criminals can manipulate our judicial system, even though they were the right side of the law (Vikas Dubey’s case they are not).
People in the judiciary must create a state-wide database of judges and attorneys who were prone to helping criminals in the past or had any pattern at their trial. There are many ways to clean the system if you have good intentions.
3. Fight against corruption: Most of the time, our fight against corruption focused on the top political leader or big scam, like the 2G scam, Bofors, the Aircel-maxim scam, to name a few, but when it comes to concern We did not get anything because everything was lost in the noise and the power play. But we must also think that there are two types of corruption, one that flows from the top-down and the other from the bottom up.
Also, look at how to end corruption?
Most media and political parties are interested in an earlier approach as it will give them a higher TRP rating and target their political opponent, but this will not bring any change to society and will make no sense to the common man.
Our approach should be bottom-up (as in the case of Vikas Dubey), corruption going from lower level to higher level, corruption going from agent to DGP, from Gram Pradhan to DM, from the district court to supreme court, corruption in the municipal corporation.
This is an area where our collective efforts are required when it comes to fighting corruption, so only we can change the system and free our society from the notorious criminal like Vikas Dubey and we can break the famous love triangle (Criminals-Police-Politico).
