My dear readers (If at all there is any)! Beware! Criminals are lurking every where in India. And the tragedy is, they all believe in so-called God and profess this or that religion or religious sect (hick!).
Most probably, you are already aware of the conviction (3-year jail term) of the former Union Minister Sukh Ram, who had stashed a part of his ill-gotten money, hold your breath, in the ‘Pooja Room’ of his house. One justification given by his supporters was that ‘despite everything said and done, he had provided elaborate and dependable telephone system in his home constituency in Himmachal Pradesh’.
Forget Sukh Ram, who is a politician. Here is the case of a surgeon who was the Head of the Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery of the prestigious PGI Chandigarh. His name? Prof. RS Dhaliwal. This member of the medical fraternity has been convicted of criminal conspiracy and forgery, by the CBI Special Court at Chandigarh, and sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for five years and a fine of Rs. 70,000. Would you like to see the face of this sophisticated criminal? Does he not overtly look like a totally religious person? But where is the honesty taught by his visible religion and the promise to preserve purity of his life made by him while taking the Hippocratic Oath? Yes, I mean the person with red head gear shown in the forefront of this photograph.
The court convicted this person, following a prolonged trial, of conspiring with private chemists in the purchase of artificial heart valves and other accessories at high rates and sharing the profits with suppliers. In the well written judgment, the court observed, “A crime committed in the heat of passion may call for sympathetic consideration. He was being treated like god by patients and their wards, therefore, except for greed, there was no motive with him to commit the crime. It is calculated and organized crime and the verdict must be severe and deterrent punishment.”
Arguing the quantum of sentence, the defense counsel claimed that his client was a surgeon and sending him to jail served no purpose. And the court maintained that a gentleman surgeon with average capability would do great service to society, but a corrupt surgeon with an exceedingly fine hand would only cause harm.
According to an information, one of his victims was Dullay Ram from Himachal Pradesh, who was not even operated upon by the surgeon even though he had made the payment.
Another victim was Baldev Singh of Chandigarh, who had died following surgery performed by Dr. Dhaliwal in the year 2000, despite payment of a sum of about Rs. 85,000 including Rs. 45,000 paid for the artificial valve without receipt. Seen below is Mohinder Kaur wife of Baldev Singh with his photograph.
What a pity! Why the so-called God and various religions preaching his so-called supremacy do not prevent these religious persons and socalled believers from doing what they are doing to human life?
