The kiiling of prof Loganathan was tragic act of a maniac. Something like this should never happen to anyone. I can't imagine if something like that happening to someone close to me. With that said, "WHY SHOULD TAX PAYERS BEAR THE EXPENSES?" (1) Professor Loganathan was not working for Indian or Tamilnadu Govt. He was there for his own career and personal interests, just like me and all of us. (2) He was not killed in action working for India. (3) He was not killed by a Tamilnadu tax payer or Indian Tax payer. (4) Incident happened in USA and not in India. So leaving emotions aside how can govt dole out hard earned tax payer money like this? Someone should file a petition against this kind of doling out of tax payer money.
