I guess the sentence was too harsh on him.During riots in Bombay the scene was really scary and especially Shiv Sainaiks were coming in huge mob and targeting individual people.Did you know that during riots there were MP causght by police with all swords and arms in private vehicle but all were let of because of poltical pressure.Do you recollect the situation in Gujarat where Congress MLA was burnt to death inspite of Police commisioner visiting the colony and left them to fight thier own battle with mobs and rioters.Under such situation a AK56 rifle could have created some fear among rioters and safeguarded them.He had incently acquired the same for his familys safety only because law and order situation of this country is in dogs
