The Third Eye View: Beyond Ordinary Perception

~ Lincoln Zou

WITH reference to the numerous posts, allegations and dehumanizing comments made in social media regarding the bail order of Mr. Lhukhosei Zou, I, as a well wisher of your achievements, would like to state the following points for your kind retrospection or introspection.

Ma'am Brinda, you have been successful in apprehending drugs worth hundreds of crores, have raided and destroyed brown sugar factories as an ASP of NAB. Your dedication, commitment and integrity as a Police Officer were doubted by none at that time. But your posts and statements in social media platforms, the premature allegations and that many accused drug lords who were not charge sheeted by NAB brings doubts to the mind of the people about the your integrity and intent (in this case).

Your choice of words (in social media) reflected your ego, your attitude to victimize the dutiful doctor in the court and giving her psychological trauma by threatening her inside the court and that making her cry, is uncalled for. You victimized her for performing her duty as a medical officer. Is the doctor humiliated for being 'Chingmi'?

You proclaimed your respect for the court but disrespected the sanctity of the court by looking down upon its judgement. You asked people to uphold the inviolability of the institute but you acted otherwise while you were in the court itself. It behaved as if you were the Investigating Officer, the witness, the public prosecutor and even as the Ld. Judge. Are you creating a KANGAROO COURT in our Manipur?

Remember that there are forums for appeal for an aggrieved person which you know very well. If I am not mistaken, you are the first officer in the history of Manipur who challenged, criticized and disputed openly and unprocedurally, not only the judge of a court but the judicial proceeding and the system itself. You are indeed brave, but naive as a police officer.

If what I have heard was true, you violated the decorum of the court by your words, body languages and dress. This is unbecoming of a police officer of your status.

The SP, NAB, your superior officer, by his letter dated the 13th May, 2020 stated that the treatment of the accused is beyond the purview of his office as charge sheet has already been submitted. But, you insisted on, disrespecting the orders of your superiors. Not only that, you disrespected the Ld. Judge by inviting her for a 'free course on law'. This has hurt the sentiments of all the judges, advocates and other officials as well.

As much as I hate drug lords and their business, it is wrong to swear at someone by showing your middle finger, calling 'meenai' and other derogatory remarks. Had it been someone else, he or she would have landed in jail and NSA be labelled as per the previous event.

As a public figure, you are misleading the public by feeding them half baked truth before the judiciary made any final judgement.

Let us go by the law of the land. I go with your saying 'TRUTH ALWAYS TRIUMPH'. Let us not disturb the sanctity of the judiciary by poking our nose in its business.
