Questions are being raised on the police administration over the death of a man in the violence in Munger before the first phase of Bihar assembly elections. At the same time, Munger SP Lipi Singh is also under target due to the alleged police firing during the statue immersion. On social media, the script is trending Singh and people are comparing her to General Dyer.
Ok so why not share something about General Dyer, who is being compared to Lipi Singh –
You will all be familiar with the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, whose pain has not been forgotten even after a hundred years. General Dyer was a ruthless British officer who ordered the firing on unarmed Indians in Jallianwala Bagh. Dyer’s full name was Colonel Reginald Edward Harry Dyer.
Dyer ordered to fire without warning
April 13, 1919, is considered the darkest day in British Indian history. Thousands of people had gathered at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar on the same day to protest against the Rowlatt Act. British officer General Dyer blocked the main gate of Jallianwala Bagh with his soldiers and armed vehicles. After this, on Dyer’s orders, his soldiers fired on the unarmed crowd without any warning for 10 minutes without stopping. Nearly 1,000 people died in this incident, while more than 1500 people were injured. But the British government puts the death toll at 379 and the injured at 1200.
Entered as the butcher of Amritsar in history
Dyer was born in India and his father used to make wine. Dyer knew both Urdu and Hindustani very well. Dyer’s name is recorded in history as the butcher of Amritsar. Even after 91 years of his death, people call him the butcher of Amritsar.
What is the whole matter?
A clash broke out between police and people during the immersion of the statue late Monday night near Deendayal Chowk in Munger. One person was killed and many people were injured in the shooting. The video of the incident is going viral on social media, in which police are seen brutally raining poles on people. Police said in the cleanup that stone pelting and firing was done on behalf of anti-social elements, in which many policemen were injured. Subsequently, the police took action to handle the situation. Since then, people have been demanding suspension of Munger SP Lipi Singh and action on him.
