Why are we reacting as if something which can never happen has befallen us? Are we really unaware of the fact that most of the policemen who man the police stations are habitual drunkards specialising in custodial rapes of unsuspecting victims. Has anybody ever wondered why so few such incidents ever get reported in a vast country like ours, where we have thousands of such depraved souls masquarading as your friendly-neighbour.
As long as there is only a kneejerk reaction to such incidents & we are armed with laws of the land strangely suited to protect such lumpen elements, we can take comfort by attributing such incidents to the sheer bad luck of the victim & look for a new story in the next day newspaper.
