Continuing from last year criminal politicians, brutal useless police and the impotent justice system is again in the news. A member of the Bihar Leglative Assembly or MLA called RK Kesri was stabbed to death yesterday by a woman he was allegedly raping for the last two years. She tried to register a complaint with the police but apparently it was torn up and thrown in her face. Unable to get any justice for the outrage visited on her person she stabbed Kesri who died on his way to the hospital. The poor woman was then so badly beaten up, whether by Kesri's goons or the police is unclear, that she was admitted unconscious in hospital. So, a woman is raped by a politician, refused help by the police, brutally beaten by thugs and will serve time in jail if she survives. No doubt the judge will lecture her on the evil of taking the law into your own hands while handing down a prison term but if people see criminal scum getting away with rape and murder are they not justified in taking just revenge? Is it any wonder that people support Naxals who kill policemen? Now the good news. The Income Tax department has suddenly woken up to the fact that Quattrochi should have paid tax on the commission he received from Bofors in the purchase of its guns during Rajiv Gandhi's period as Prime Minister, some 25 years ago, but the CBI has refused to reopen the case. As a citizen of India I would love to read the details of how the CBI chased big Q over five continents including how the officers enjoyed themselves in billionaire playgrounds such as St.Kitts. Since it was done with billions of our money it would give enormous vicarious pleasure. Such clowns, what a laugh.
