Billy: The first thing i would like to mention is that i am racist, so there is no need to drag castes or religion in your reply. I would be happy with all criminal encounter irrespective of the caste.
Its people like you that make our country shame when they bring caste-stuff in everything they talk about!
Most probably, people like you are more dangerous to society.
I feel sorry for Sohrabuddins wife, but there is not always the ideal solutions to these problems. Solutions are not always fair. But it would have been more unfair to society to let people like Sohrabuddins to live because of lack of evidence.
So many times, police encounter suspects (suspects for media, but just lack of evidence for police). Some of these suspects are hard core terrorists planning a major bomb-blast, police keeps a watch at them but no evidence... when situation becomes too dangerous, police have to eleminate them to save people like us. And then we return the favour by pointing our finger at police.
