Why are crimes committed? Who are those who commit them? Do they have a personality flaw in them? How does the victim get entangled in the muddle? Is there any set pattern regarding their occurrences and is there any similarity in the personality profiles of the culprits?
Most of the questions, posed above can, at best, be answered by the police and perhaps, a psychologist! I shall go through three cases that had occurred at different places, in the state, today and leave the analyses to the readers.
(a) A dumb beggar does it.
This was a case of burglary in broad daylight. A man aged around 45 yrs, dressed up as a beggar
and wearing a cap had approached the post mistress. After gesturing himself as being dumb, he
begged for some money. As the lady turned around to pull out the money from her handbag, the
man fled away with the bundles of cash kept on the table. They were two bundles of hundred
Rs.2,000/- notes each, amounting to Rs.4 lakhs meant to be handed over to a customer.
The scene of the incident was in a post office at Tirur. The police say that the guy, not a Keralite,
has been up to this strategy where he has been able to flee with the stolen stuff after distracting
his victims!
(b) Car thieves.
The owner had parked his car at the premises of a temple and within minutes, it was stolen. A
gang of four had been at it for a while. The beauty about it is that the actual car owner's son is one among the four who've been arrested by the police on account of the crime!
Mohammed Haji is the actual car owner. His son used to give away the car, as surety, to an
unsuspecting person to acquire quick loans. And when the new owner wasn't looking, he used to
flee away with the car, using a duplicate key.
Some ingenuity, this. And the scene of crime? Kakkassery near Pavaratti, in Thrissur!
(c) Road rage.
An MLA, along with his driver, was proceeding to meet a bereaved family and the victim was
returning after visiting them. Their vehicles came head on with each other on the narrow stretch
of the road leading to the house of the deceased. Eye witnesses say that it would have been
easier for the MLA's car to have backed and given way to the other. But ego seems to have
played the spoiler.
The MLA had got out of his vehicle and assaulted the driver of the other vehicle and obscenely
gesticulated at his mother when she tried to tell him that his car could have easily given way,
without creating the unfortunate and unnecessary brawl!
A case of 'status' projection and high handedness! And the scene of the incident, Anchal!
Tailpiece.
There was a break in the rain, for a while, out here. Otherwise, it has been raining non stop as the Meteorological department had forecast heavy rains till Wednesday!
