The other side of the story......

The Rape Accused Meet A Gory End.

The nation is still mourning the rape and murder of the young veterinary doctor in Telangana, last week. Passions have been roused and the entire nation seemed to be together to give death sentence to the accused at the earliest. A sizeable number of Indians seemed to desire quick retribution.

The Telangana Police said that its personnel resorted to retaliatory firing when two of the accused opened fire at the police after snatching weapons from them. The police said that the snatched weapons were in unlocked position. The police, further, said that the accused were taken this morning to Chatanapally - the crime spot for crime reconstruction and all this happened within 5' to 10' after reaching the spot!

This is the second case of encounter killing in Telangana/AP! VC Sajjanar, the present Police Commissioner of Cyberabad was the SP of Warangal, when in Dec 2008, three accused of acid attack on hapless ladies were killed in the first encounter. 

The nation seems to be split around the middle, in its opinion, regarding the killing of the accused!

My take.

The accused should have been tried by a fast track court and provided appropriate punishment - death, of course! Yes, the court should have been constituted and its proceedings should have been going on by now!! 

The other side of the story! 

A version that's doing the rounds on Twitter indicates that there is much more than meets the eye regarding the encounter. This encounter was not for justice as it appears at first look. The young lady vet had done a sting operation on the big 'Beef Mafia' at hand. The rape and murder were meticulously planned. Post the arrest and subsequent interrogation, the truth would have come out. So the encounter was deliberate to protect someone powerful behind the mafia.....basically, a cover up.

The FASTag Story.

In India there are 16,49, 91,65,000 vehicles using highway tolls. By introducing compulsory fast tag registration, the toll companies (Most of them belong to either the Reliance or Adani groups) will get a hefty amount in their account.

The sum of the amounts of cost of tag and deposit adds up to about Rs.8.3 lakh crores

The other side of the story!

Other than the security deposit with banks, everything is okay.

How do Reliance and Adani benefit from the Cost of FASTag?

* In fact, it will cut down the corruption at tolls, money will go straight to the account of NHAI             when, as of now, the toll operators do not pass on the money regularly.
* Real time tracking of stolen vehicles and runaway vehicles/guys for better law and order.
* Savings in time and fuel.
* Reduction in pollution.

The Magistrate vs The Lawyers.

The Kerala Police has named the Bar Association office bearers as accused. Lawyers boycotted the  court. The FIR states that the lawyers unlawfully assembled outside the Vanchiyoor court (Thiruvananthapuram) of Magistrate Deepa Mohan with the common intention of intimidating her into revoking an order.

Ms. Mohan had cancelled the bail of an accused person on the charge of having intimidated a prosecution witness in the case, earning the ire of the lawyers.

In its court filing, the police said that the lawyers stormed into the chamber and threatened to "haul the magistrate out of the courtroom and beat her". The crime occurred around 1345 hrs, on the Wednesday before last, when the court was in session.

The other side of the story!

That magistrate got appointed immediately on writing the test. She has had no practical experience as a lawyer. Earlier, one had to have 3 to 7 years to write the test so that one knew the procedure. Here, unfortunately she followed the wrong procedure and remanded the person without even the prosecutor, just on listening to the complainant. The lawyers pointed out the mistake to her but her ego prevented her from admitting her mistake. Then she refused to issue a copy of the order to file an appeal. The lawyers went to the higher judiciary, the sessions judge who immediately rectified the mistake, rescinding the wrong order.


Tailpiece.

Our new maid, Beena had come by and commenced working. She is sincere and meticulous. Lekha has a much needed help! Incidentally, she has been freed of the aches and the pains!!
