New Delhi: Former police officers have slammed former top cop Julio Francis Ribeiro for supporting anti-India sentiment and communal narrative in the Delhi riots case.
“We, the former Police Officers, having devoted our lifetimes to serve in different capacities all over India, are surprised at the conduct of a few fellow Ex-Police Officers led by Julio Francis Ribeiro IPS (Retd) of Maharashtra Cadre,” the former officers said in a statement to the media on Friday.
They slammed Ribeiro, who coined the famous phrase ‘Bullet for a Bullet’ while working on deputation in the militancy ridden Punjab, should not have supported such kind of anti-India expression and communal narrative. “He and his associates who have come out to support people like Umar Khalid, very well know that there is a due process of law, and there is no one above the law,” they added.
The former officers are of the view that the Delhi Police has every right and duty to investigate the role of any such person, and custodial investigation is a part of due process of law.
The accused has his rights under the law to seek anticipatory bail or regular bail, as the case may be, and the right to a fair trial where he can prove himself innocent. (IANS)
