Corruption Kills
The corruption in procurement of body armor will kill, literally:
On Friday, 4 May, 2018, three bullets hit a police officer in Tinsukia district, Upper Assam, India. While one bullet has hit his left hand, the other two bullets have pierced through the bulletproof vest, straight to his chest and abdomen.
At the moment, it is unknowable whom the vest belonged to, the Assam Police, the Central Reserved Police Force, or the Army. The dead police officer, Bhaskar Kalita, officer-in-charge of Bordumsa, was part of a "planned mission" and had a gun battle with the ULFA-(I) insurgents (United Liberation Front of Assam - Independent). These insurgents, for those who don't know, have long been seeking freedom from Indian rule.
How about some quality control?
In Maharastra state, the police – after the 26/11 terror attacks – had returned 1430 bulletproof jackets, out of 4600, for failing the AK-47 bullet test. Had the same quality control been done for Bhaskar Kalita, he could have come home alive? Some senior members of the Assam police seem to think so, while speaking under the condition of anonymity.
