Young Santosh savagely attacked and stabbed to death by five youth in Bombay. His crime ......he tried to help a girl from eve teasing by the five goons!
ASI Ravinder Pal Singh shot many times at point blank range and killed by a piddling politician of the Shiromani Akali Dal, Ranjith Singh Rana, at Amritsar. His crime........he dared the guy who was onto harassing his daughter.
What was the common factor in both the cases? The crimes were carried out in broad daylight with a sizeable crowd watching who shamefully did nothing! Aren't they also abettors to the heinous crime?
My take.
These guys should be tried by a fast track court and punished as early as possible. The Human Rights Commission or an NGO should file cases in the courts of Bombay and Amritsar on a 'suo moto' basis, as the life of the common citizen is threatened.
Tailpiece.
(a) And I'd go a step further.....these beasts need to be hanged for their misdeeds. They'd no right to take away precious lives.
(b) I hang my head in shame at the cowardly inaction on the part of the crowd. Would anyone of them have remained unmoved if his/her kith and kin was at the receiving end?
(c) RIP Santosh and Ravinder Pal. We, your countrymen, have collectively let you down! May your families have the strength to tide over these extremely difficult times!!
PS.
And the worst part or the proverbial, unkindest cut is that none of the mainstream print media speaks anything about it. Ignorance is bliss, eh? Or is it that they're too scared to take on the so called 'powerful politicians'? Or is it too trivial a story for them to cover?
