A Very serious Injustice this is...

This Afternoon when I was having my lunch and was watching the TV I was shocked to see the news item splashed across almost all news channels showing the thrashing of a young boy, by a irate mob for apparently stealing a golden chain from a woman. The news was not so big, but the visuals that these channel people showed made me shivere with fear. Even though I am not a dacoit nor anything like that, but when faced with such an incident, as it was being splashed, none of the public present there were coming forward to help the guy, not even the women present there were asking for mercy of the small time chain snatcher.

What are we becoming, is it only because the story happened in Bihar??? Or is it same across the country.

On a normal day, I don;t get enough time to see the TV and discuss the things with someone, but on a holiday I prefer to take my lunch in a bit relaxed manner, but I must admit after watching the news, I could no more swallow the special dish that my wife prepared for me.

How can we people be so rude, so inhuman, so nonsense????

Can you slap someone because he did something wrong? According to the law, no one has the right to slap not even touch the culprit, and surprising but true even the police has got no authority to touch the victim, unless otherwise there is a situation, which may warrant using force. How can a normal human being behave so inhumanly.

I watched as a young man of about the same age came forward and started using his own means to slap and then kick and then using his belt on the poor guy on face, back and every where. I almost cried and anyone on my place would do that. How could man be so inhuman.

The story did not end there, and as soon as the police has reached the culprit was tied to the back of the bike and this happy looking police officer did not hesitate to drag this man to the nearest police station. Is is justice???

Don't you think we should be offering help to this fellow??? Or at least we can say we are not happy the way the people as well as the police behaved??? The complete story with visuals can be seen Here.
