LATHI RAGE AND COPS

DECCAN CHRONICLE MAY 28 2006 : SI SUSPENDED FOR NOT CO-OPERATING WITH ENQUIRY




A TRAFFIC COP TRIES TO STOP TWO MOTORCYCLISTS TRYING TO DODGE HIM
ON A BUSY TRAFFIC JUNCTION. A LATHI BLOW ON THE HANDLE BAR
OF THE MOTORCYLE. THE MOTORCYLE SKIDS ON TO THE ROAD DIVIDER
ONE KILLED ON THE SPOT ON THE SPOT THE OTHER SUCCUMBS THREE
DAYS LATER. DUE YOU CALL THIS POLIICE EXCESS? DID A TRIFLE TRAFFIC
OFFENCE MEAN A DEATH SENTANCE TO THE MOTORCYCLISTS? WHO EMPOWERED
THE COP TO STOP A SPEEDING MOBIKE WITH A LATHI? WHY THE BENEFIT OF
DOUBT WAS NOT GIVEN TO THE MOTORCYCLISTS? JUMPING THE LINE WAS NO A
MAJOR OFFENCE. THE MOTORCYLISTS WERE NOT DREADED CRIMINALS ON THE RUN. THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT IN CRICKET IS ALWAYS GIVEN TO THE BATSMAN.
