Hang Guilty in Fast Track CourtBy: Avinash Murkute | Monday , 6 Jul '09 10:37:43 AM Reply | Forward Everyone is shocked. The guilty should be hanged till death within reasonable time say 2 years. The case should be tried in Fast Track Court on a day 2 day basis. This will serve Good Morning call to everyone who abuse power, sometimes with weapon and sometimes without weapon.

Fake encounterBy: RJ Khurana | Monday , 6 Jul '09 9:21:51 AM Reply | Forward The culprits should not get away. If those guilty of fake encounters get away it will sound a death-knell for our democracy. Occasional bonafide errors of judgement in a surcharged atmosphere such as we have today are possible but deliberate brutal killings cannot be condoned at all at any time. Our administration has relegated police reforms to the last priority and it is we people we are sufferings. Will the brutal killing of Ranbir Singh shake up those in deep slumber over a life and death issue like police reforms.

Urgent Police reform with political reform neededBy: Jay | Sunday , 5 Jul '09 18:32:33 PM Reply | Forward In India whole system is not trust worthy. It’s simply not possible to blame the police or the youth in this particular incident. Many times youths are involved in many anti-social activities which their family members are aware of (mostly it’s the case). On the other hand police also do harass common people, arrange fake encounter and the largest organized group who rape law and order on a regular basis. In present situation of Indian law and order, political system it’s almost total breakdown of governance. Police reform is urgent need, long overdue. Our political masters need to ensure that there is no, absolute no political interference in day to day activities of Police and our investigative agencies like CBI. So only police reform is not sufficient without supporting political reform. Else we are heading towards total anarchy, which is visible in many parts of the country today.

Police brutality killed RanbirBy: shanthanu | Sunday , 5 Jul '09 18:11:10 PM Reply | Forward There seems to be lack of proper training in handling deft situations by our Police force. An educated person killed and calling it an encounter with rowdy elements smacks of cover up game for the mistake committed. A proper investigation into the episode should be conducted by an independent agency and the guilty must be punished.

Indianize the PoliceBy: Veer Sain | Sunday , 5 Jul '09 18:00:55 PM Reply | Forward This incident is just another case in Police files. Police will keep on behaving like this till we Indianize the Police. Right now they act like in british Raaj where they treat them elves as the Masters. Steps have to be taken to change the Police psyche. Mr. Chidambaram is a very intelligent mand and he should pay attention to this.

Indianize the policeBy: Anthia | Tuesday , 7 Jul '09 12:35:46 PM Reply | Forward I don't think the British police act like that. I think to say they act like in the British Raj is bring up the past which is irrelevant. India has to own its own police.

Juvenile and youth misbehavior is a menace, which needs to be tackledBy: Hary Nambiar | Sunday , 5 Jul '09 17:59:23 PM Reply | Forward There was a report yesterday that a group of engineering students beat up the police personnel on duty, including the officer in charge who interrupted his sleep to return to the station on being called to handle violence. The report said that the police on beat had arrested a handful of drunk and unruly students of a local engineering college. Responding to that a group of students violated the law and had their friends released. There have been several incidents in Kerala, of people violating the police station and releasing accused from custody. Recently, a student leader declared in a public meeting that the Governor of the State would not be allowed to participate in a single public function in the state because the Governor allowed CBI investigation on the alleged misconduct of a Communist leader. Young people, especially juveniles do not have a right to violate law and order, which they do in many cases. It is a menace, which needs to be tackled.

fake encounterBy: bunty | Sunday , 5 Jul '09 17:52:06 PM Reply | Forward i live in dehradun and immediate question which arose after seing the images that-- how come in every encounter the same type of katta(pistol) is shown-- how come every encounter take place in the jungle and that too of raipur jungle.Each encounter no policeman is injured and same old story of eplanation . I think if the photograps of different encounter are collected there is a chance that some of the pistols are repeated several times.So i think our administration must train their police personnel for such situation other wise they will face embaressment.What is cbcid enquiry this is the enquiry of police dept for the police dept so the result can be assumed itself HUGE QUESTION MARK????

Barbaric brutality?By: Hary Nambiar | Sunday , 5 Jul '09 17:33:28 PM Reply | Forward Barbaric brutality - It is unfortunate that such an incident had happened. Death of a 22 year old is sad and most unfortunate. I extend my condolences to the bereaved family. From his education, one expects that this individual was raised with love, care and discipline by responsible parents. Therefore, while on the one hand I am not able to believe that such an individual would snatch the service revolver of a police officer on duty, on the other hand I am not one who would jump into sudden conclusion of police brutality. Government officials regardless of the branch they serve are also people raised with love, care and discipline, by caring parents. They are also loving, caring and responsible parents themselves. Of course there are exceptions, but rarely. So while calling for an independent investigation let us not unrealistically accuse the entire police force of barbaric brutality.
