Lets ignore the fact that the dead man was muslim (since that seems to be the hot-button issue here). Let's say he was, let's pick a name, Rajendra Nikhalje. An extortionist, drug dealer, whatever. Is it OK if the police shoot him in a fake encounter, without trying to arrest him or take him to court? Are you suggesting that it is OK for the police to kill people it decides are guilty of extortion? What if you are falsely implicated of a murder you didnt commit? Is that still OK?
Trying to find out what people really think. Cuz IMHO, the real issue is an extra judicial killing - the police cannot dispense justice instantly (it isnt Judge "I am the law" Dredd). Me thought that was the job of the courts.
(Courts are slow is not an excuse BTW. The solution is to make the courts fast, not transfer court powers to the police).

Clearly an indication that people who read this post either dont understand what's written or just dont care. Not one reply addresses what I asked! Back to the usual Muslim bashing. Ah, well...

ITS REALLY SHAMEFUL THAT U ARE CASTING ASPERATION ON mR kALAM JUST BECAUSE HE IS A MUSLIM CHATEERJEE WAS HANGED FOR RAPING AND KILLING A YOUNG GIRL MORE THAN A DECADE AFTER THE CRIME WHEREAS IN THIS TRIAL THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF LOOP HOLES WHERE OTHER ACCUSED HAVE ALSO BEEN ACCQUITED BY THE COURT. KALAM HAS ONLY SAID THAT HE SHALL TAKE A DECISION AFTER THE EXECUTIVE AND THE LEGISLATURE ANSWER SOME OF HIS QUERIES WHICH THEY HAVE YET TO DO SHAMEFUL REALLY A SHAME IF A GREAT MAN LIKE KALAM IS TREATED IN THIS MANNER ALL OF US REAL INDIANS SHOULD HANG OUR HEADS IN SHAME DUE TO ROYS COMMENT

Maximus is a butcher, and so were all fighters - shivaji, SC Bose, Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, Prithviraj Chauhan, etc. Anyway, that's not the point. Rajan was Dawood's right hand man for years until 1993 - religion came in the way. Sharad Shetty remained loyal to Dawood until Rajan's men gunned him down, resulting in a major debacle for the D-company. It is alleged that Daya Nayak (under trial) would take supari from Rajan to get at Dawood's men in encounters. He didnt do it for national interest, it was just to weaken the D-company.
At any rate, my question was not about rajan. It was about whether the police have a right to conduct extra judicial killings. Clearly, from your post, it appears you think it is ok. I suggest, in that case, that you stay away from cops. They might just shoot you because you smiled at them

you have rightly said that Police should not be having this kind of right to conduct killings. Excesses at the hands of State machinery is always questionable and need probe.But Political parties` overtones for a community or the other,reflects- political maturity is deteriorating. True stories behind such incidents may be still painful.All men in power tend to misuse.System is weak.People understand mechanisms of allegations and counters and games politicians play,and people as always fall prey.

national politics today. http://www.newstodaynet.com/2007sud/apr07/120407ss1.htm UPA announcing quota for Muslims, on the basis of religion, is not communal. 2. Manmohan Singh, giving a clarion call that Muslims must have first access to national resources, is not communal. 3. Postponing Afzal's hanging, for the sake of UP elections, is not communal. 4. Releasing the communally doctored Justice Sachar Report is not communal. 5. Lalu, releasing Banerjee Commission Report on Godhra carnage (when Nanavati commission was enquiring into the incident) on the eve of Bihar Elections is not communal. 6. Rahul, telling that Babri Masjid would have been safe under Gandhi dynasty, is not communal. 7. Mulayam Singh's current attempt to close the criminal cases against SIMI terrorists is 'not communal'. On the other hand according to the Election Commission, the Congress and all the other 'Secular Parties': A. Talking about ethnic cleansing and massacre of Hindus in Kashmir is communal. B. Talking about Bangladeshi infiltration is communal. C. Talking about Bombay, Varanasi, Coimbatore, Delhi Muslim terrorist bomb blasts, is communal. D. Talking about the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh is communal. E. Talking about the greatest genocide on earth - i.e. the massacre of more than 100 millions of Hindus, during Muslim
