There are 5Ps (the public, police, public servants, politicians and the pressswala) and the presswalas are the worest, most unscurpulous and most corrupt of them all.
All sting operatons are criminal activites as per the provisoins of IPC inasmuch as it is creating eveidence likely tlo be produced in a court knowing it to be false.
Nothing can be more disguesting and inhuman than our presswala taking pictures of a man burning alive or beaten to death instead of helping the victims.
Always these operatons are one sided. Any case the mike and the prining machines and cameras are owned and controlled by them. Does anyone know that almost all the cameras used by the electronic media and all the cameras and mikes used in the sting operations are smuggled ones wiothout paying import duty one them?The quiestion is who calls the kettle black. Besides, what a waste of resources can be understood when one looks at the Indian Express exposure of Ambanis' illegal activities in imports and financials, Forex, securites etc and the picture 'Guru', and still the man who benefited the most is a Rajya Sabha member and no one was bothered about the ethics of it.
