FIRST STIRRINGS
ks subramanian
A Communist orientation and
an Oxford stint combined to make this IPS officer socially sensitive and
pro-poor
KS Subramanian is perhaps the
first victim of Hindutva forces as represented by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad
(VHP). It was on November 6, 1966 when he, then a young Indian Police Service
(IPS) officer, was attacked by VHP agitators outside the All India Radio (AIR)
building in New Delhi.
The Parishad was taking out a
procession towards Parliament demanding a ban on cow slaughter and the 1963-batch
Delhi-Himachal Pradesh cadre IPS officer, then SDPO (Sub-Divisional Police
Officer), Lajpat Nagar, was deployed on Sansad Marg.
