Expected a more sever sentence
by Rajesh Kumar on Mar 24, 2008 05:59 PM

I am not at all surprised about the sentence handed over to R.K.Sharma. I expected death sentence for him. I am always under the view that if a common man or an illiterate is punished for murder or any crime, policemen and politicians should be punished more severely. These people know the law and they are meant to protect it but they take the law in their hands and do whatever they want. Where will we see justice for common man if these guys go scott free. A crime is a crime no matter who commits it. All are equal before the law and no one is above it. This punishment again proves that justice still prevails in our country. This person Sharma is also alleged to have passed sensitive information to Ms. Bhatangar since he was working in the Prime minister's office. Again this is against the law. I am happy Mr. Shashtri did not consider Sharma's excellent record or anything before pronouncing the judgement. People like Sharma are a menace to the society in large and also to the police department. This is a brave judgement.
