Its saddening to see that many readers have applauded the killing of Sohrabuddin on the grounds that he was a known anti-social element. This is not correct: what they do to Sohrabuddin today, they could also do to a more innocent person tomorrow, and even then, it would take some intelligent journo like Mr.Dayal to dig up the facts! There's no rule-of-law, and that means all of us have to live under fear of even being killed, and labelled as extortionists by the government later.
Folks, please see this issue as a larger one of civil rights and government accountability, rather than in simplistic terms such as "One more goonda is dead"
