    Both sets of people - those who celebrate the encounter and those who denounce it - will go back home after saying what they say. Neither has the time to step out and campaign for judicial reform.

    We've all only got time to say whether it is right or wrong or kinda right and move on.

    When the #MeToo movement was at its height, women came out with allegations, sometimes years or decades old, against men. The accused men were tried in the media and by 5 pm lost their job, career destroyed, personal life upended. Some were wrongly accused.

    When a huge change's time comes, when people feel they've have had enough, a few innocent might pay a price.

    Not justifying the encounter, rather giving an example of a similar support people issue based on emotion rather than reason.

    As for me too some accused are back again and going on like nothing happened after only 1 case is being fought in court by a big politician and the women who accused ..

    Some like Varun Grover have asked for proofs and made their case ... Some people who lost jobs or faces have accepted their guilt that is why actions were swift on those and some shameless like sushi Seth lie low for some time and back in social circles again and some shameless like alok nath did not see any consequences ...


    In this case , The police told the victims parents on the day event occurred that she may have eloped and did not register a case and now the same police is getting laurels ... it will no way improve the situation of women ... public is appeased so they don’t turn anger on police


    Emotions are being used for everything in this country now to justify anything and everything ...

    Well now that you pointed that out we can all go home, eh? : )

    Which is better - being wrong once or being wrong twice? The denouncers are right in the stand they take, if they don't stand up for reform after this they would be in the wrong. The folks celebrating are misguided now and would be doubly wrong if they move on from the incident without doing their democratic duty.

    A few innocents paying the price is not okay in my view. It is morally unacceptable. For me true justice is defined by Blackstone's ratio - It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.

    In my view, the legal system must always err on the side of the innocent else the price of justice is too high. This principle is the basis of justice systems in every modern democracy.

    @Gauri03 , by and large I agree with you. But while discussing with my sisters, I realized that India is an incredibly complex and heterogeneous society. Large sections are still very uneducated but free time with access to p*** etc, so have no moral compass. So police has periodically resorted to extra judicial means to resolve issues. The Punjab turbulence and subsequent success in quelling that was largely conducted by 'extra judicial' means. If you and I were living in India, it would not be difficult to applaud the police action given the distrust of due process that exists in India today.

    British police was forced to do something similar last week when they shot down a terrorist in cold blood in London without making any attempt to capture him. Given the havoc terrorism inflicts, may be they were right!

    British police may be trying to avert an act of terrorism in progress , here they were caught and in safe custody of police ... there is a difference

    It’s a terrible tragedy, no doubt about that. It needs justice which is swift but that needs to be done by the right procedure and process by the legal system. However inept they may be, that’s the only way a country is going to change the laws for the future.

    These guys were guilty until proven otherwise. We have only the police words for it; we really don’t know whether there were others involved or still at large or anything.

    This kind of decision still doesn’t deter such incidents because the judicial system hasn’t changed much. It gives the police more power to do the same even in cases where potential innocents could be killed without any proper enquiry.

    Just because our legal system is so lax doesn’t mean we should encourage encounters without trial. It shouldn’t set a precedent which encourages others to do same. The legal system has to change for the good of the society. That’s the only way to enforce laws and give justice to the victims.

    I agree with others @Gauri03 @MalStrom @armummy who have opined same above.
