Law of the bulldozer.

In Uttar Pradesh (UP), "Visuals of many absconding criminals walking to police stations with placards hanging around their necks with messages like 'I am surrendering, don't shoot me, please!' surfacing on social media show the panic among history-sheeters, officials said," ET. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is celebrated as "Bulldozer Baba" for "razing properties, acquired by people of criminal antecedents with proceeds of their crime". But who decides whether the house was built on proceeds of crime? What if it was inherited or acquired by legitimate means? A man accused of rape - but not proven in court - surrendered to Pratapgarh police when they parked a bulldozer in front of his house, TOI. There is no suggestion that his house was acquired with proceeds of crime or even if it belonged to him. If the house was bulldozed the man's family, presumably with children, would be homeless for no fault of their own. Sadly, ordinary people have no hope for justice. Recently, the central government banned MediaOne TV channel under the Cable and Television Networks Regulation Act on "apparent grounds of 'national security'," wrote Gautam Bhatia. MediaOne challenged it in Kerala High Court, saying that could not defend itself because no reason had been provided for the ban, but the government argued that it could not reveal the reason because of 'national security'. "Regrettably, instead of giving this short shrift, the HC enabled - and indeed facilitated - this authoritarian behavior through its rulings." In 1920, the British passed the Identification of Prisoners Act to increase surveillance and control of Indians. After 102 years, and in the 75th year of so-called Independence, HT, the Lok Sabha passed the Criminal Procedure (Identification) Bill on 4 April, which allows collection of 1. biological samples and their analysis 2. behavioral attributes including signatures, handwriting, and 3. examinations under sections 53 and 53A of CrPC (includes blood, semen, hair samples, and swabs, and analysis such as DNA profiling)," "On the order of a Magistrate, from any person (not just an arrested person) to aid investigation," PRS. Further, "the bill allows for the retention of personal data of convicted individuals for a period of up to 75 years," and "the National Crime Records Bureau to share and disseminate personal data with 'any law enforcement agency'," wrote Bhatia. "If the bill were enacted, nothing would stop the police from, say, detaining protesters and collecting their personal data to use against them at a later date," wrote Aditya Sharma and Christophe Jaffrelot. Ironically, Bulldozer Baba's government defended the bail of Ashish Mishra, saying he is not a 'flight risk', Ahmedabad Mirror. He has been accused of the murder of 4 farmers by ramming them with a SUV at high speed at Lakhimpur Kheri in UP on 3 October 2021, wikipedia. Meanwhile, "The number of education loan applications to fund study abroad has nearly doubled in the last year," ET. Run away those who can. Your body will not be bulldozed.
