DISCLAIMER: I am not interested in getting into any debate over if such a thing should happen or not. Read this blog post only if you can forget the legal facts pronounced by your cerebral approach towards this issue and speak on terms of morality and emotions. Afterall, emotions should be weighted as much equally as decisions influenced by cerebral capabilities.
Those accused in the macabre rape and serial killings of children in Nithari, today tasted justice, not in the court but just outside the court. While Moninder Singh Pandher, along with co-accused Surendra Koli, were produced by the CBI at the court for extending their remand, the public ire and choler of the lawyers showed up. They were beaten up just outside the court. While many would like to argue that one shouldn’t take the law in their hands, there are little who would have not joined into the bashing if given a chance. As we know how the judiciary system in India is, who would wait for the next 10years to see these monsters meet terms, or may be they might manage scot free too.
CNN IBN reports:
Moninder, in his fifties, was punched, kicked and pulled by his hair by the enraged crowd, who wanted the duo to be handed over to the public. He fainted after he was beaten up.
To see the video, this is where you go: MONINDER BEING BEATEN UP BY AN ANGRY MOB
This is what the public gives you when you don’t think twice is getting into such a gruesome crime. These mongrels have no right to even breathe in our country where they have so brutally raped and killed the children of our motherland.
Today, there certainly was a security lapse on the part of the police, but as shown in a video on Aaj-Tak, Moninder was hit by a lone lawyer when surrounded by a team of police personnel. I am sure, if it wasn’t for the uniform they were wearing, the police would have joined in too. This beating comes after Moninder retracted from his confession and involvement in the killings. You can find a timeline of the events till now here: TIMELINE.
I am proud to see the Indian public take charge in such cases even if it may not be the way things should legally proceed. These scoundrels have lot more to taste. This is just been a case in the court premises. I invite them and all such criminals to a public square…if justice has to be seeked this way… let it be done so!
Jai Hind!
They should be handed over to the public and torn to pieces.
I agree with you when u say that keeping aside the legality,people did the right thing. Public fury is sometimes the right way to judge the heinousness of the crime, but something worth thinking is, is the general public trustworthy enough to let them handle such verdicts? ‘Cause it is the same public who creates an uproar when a Tasleema Nasreen writes a sensitive book like “Lajja”, which is nothing but the truth, and yet has to face the wrath of public!! It is the same public that ransacks the sets of the film “Water”, when a Deepa Mehta decides to show the world the truth about the widows in Benaras. It is the same public that creates riots when a statue of some well known figure is disfigured by 1 obscure person, and makes several others suffer for no fault of theirs!!
It is very easy to abuse a person already accused and in police custody, ’cause thats when he is helpless. I think not many from this public must have forgotten about the barbaric murder of a call center employee at the Gateway Of India, amidst a huge crowd. But the fact also remains that NO ONE from the same public remembered to do anything to save the girl , or to stop the crime from happening!!
Its not about the legality about public taking law into their own hands(what a filmy phrase…:-)hahahha), but its about their credibilty!
