Whom to punish
by partha biswas on Nov 14, 2006 10:12 AM

Lets face a fact.ALL drunken driving and killings thereof are to do with the rich and affluent.if an ORDINARY person had got into trouble then neither the media NOR the person/persons would come into the lime light.They may rot in jail ofcourse.And as we ALL know,the rich will kill and get away with it as something inconsequential.The case of Salman and the Nanda incident are TWO where the guilty ( sorry NOT guilty till proven)are still fresh in our minds, just like the killings of J.Lal, Matto et al.Similarly the current case will be forgotten,with TIME being the biggest tranquiliser.So the ONLY persons who SHOULD be hauled up are the investigating agencies,who tend to MIX up facts with political pressures, and political pressures with money, and finally money with total acquittal of the accused.Not to forget legal eagles like Ram J, who are always available to play around with words,jurisprudence, reference histories, not to forget the persons who sit in judgement, who like Cesear will say "I wash my hands of the blood of this man".Lets have a reality show and re-enact these incidents as a "time-pass" TV presentation.
