The problem of Dacoits has not cropped up in a day or
two. History has seen it rising every day. The main reason for it is the
Geographical, Social and Economic conditions of the District. Natives of the district are
filled with strange feeling of revenge. The folk lores of Ala Udal and many lullaby
germinates the seed of such feelings. These are filled with the moral that "A
life is a abuse for the one whose enemy is living". As they are fed on the milk
of such moral minor disputes and rivalry makes them outlaws and they find their way
to the ravines. Those who can not dare to go there and take their revenge, help the
law flaunting fugitives and in return fetch their aid to solve their rivalries.
Bhind district has 4459
Sq Kms. of area surrounded by districts of Uttar Pradesh, Agra, Etawa, Jalon and Jhansi.
Long rivers like Chambal, Sindh, Kunwari, Pahuj and Baisali flow across
the borders. Near the banks of these rivers quotdeep forest and ravines are situated.
There are invisible difficult paths which provide favourable circumstances for
and other criminals. Many villages of police stations Ater, Surpura, Phooph, Umri,
Nayagaon, Ron , Mihona, Lahar, Aswar, Daboh and Alampur are situated in deep forest and
banks of rivers. Due to this dacoits disappear in the ravines after committing
crimes. As the district is transference of illegal arms is too much. This also
ease dacoits to avail those arms.
All these
features encourage the dacoity problem. The district is dominated by the Thakurs and
Brahmins. These people fight for various reasons. Almost each and every native
leaves no point to down other on either physical or mental ground. This is just a glimpse
of the dacoit problem effect on common man life. People of Bhind depends more on
agriculture. Hence land disputes, conflicts on irrigation means, agricultural equipments,
their attention to earn living through assisting dacoits. As the education level is also
low, people are not afraid of committing heinous crimes like murders become dacoits.
Police is fighting hard to eradicate the dacoity problem constantly for years
together. In the long history of eradication of dacoits police has set an unique
example of obedience, courage, high devotion to be followed. The whole
operation Dacoits elimination has cost lives of many policemen. In last three
decades about 500 dacoits were killed even this could not weed out the problem.
This is note worthy in the year 1972 and 1982 due to police pressure and constant
trials twice the defamed dangerous dacoits have in the Chambal area. Even before this
in the year Vinoba Bhave.
All this has failed to
tear up the roots of dacoits. It has kept on growing like grass. Till date police is
all head over heels to see the district free from dacoits. At present mainly Ramesh
Singh Kushwah, UP Rajjan Gurjar, Nirbhay Singh Gurjar, Sobaran Singh Kushwah
and unlisted gangs of Punjab Singh Bhadoriya dacoit gangs are active. Police is
trying hard to find and remove them from this land. |
