Delhi Cop Puts Duty Before Family, Arrests His Own Son For Stabbing A Woman

In a nation where people use their money, power and political influences to get things done and bypass laws for themselves and their families, it is difficult to even imagine that an officer of the law would take the side of justice and not his own son when he is given a choice between the two. However, a police officer from Delhi has set an example for everyone by doing something like that.

Raj Singh, Assistant Sub-Inspector of Delhi Police helped in the arrest of his own son, Amit. The latter was involved in the brutal stabbing of a 23-year-old playschool teacher.

 

Singh was on a seven-day medical leave when he learnt about the case and his son’s involvement in it. He then himself went to the Najafgarh Police Station to help solve the case. He even asked all his relatives to not give shelter to Amit.

Singh reportedly even went to some of his relatives’ house in Roshanpura to look for his son.

 

When a senior officer asked Singh, he said that his duty comes first and he will treat his son like any other suspect. Joint Commissioner of Police Dependra Pathak confirmed Singh’s role in nabbing his son.

“The ASI helped the investigating team in locating his son. We respect his commitment towards his duty. He has certainly set an example for others.”

Raj Singh’s devotion and dedication towards his duty as a policeman is certainly worthy of praise. It wouldn’t have been easy for him to put his own son behind bars but that didn’t stop him from doing the right thing. Every one of us can learn a lesson from Mr Singh.
