Get away with murder

If you have the money, the right kind of political connections you can get away with murder. The acquittal of all accused in the murder of Jessica Lal proves this point beyond doubt. Jessica Lal was a model, who stood at a friends bar that fateful night seven years ago. A group of guys asked for drinks after the permitted hours, she made the mistake of going by the book and refused and one of them pulled out a pistol and shot her in front of everyone.

Many people saw that, and to begin with there were people willing to give evidence in the court but by the time the case finally went on trial, no one came forward, the manner in which the Police presented the case, it wasn’t effective enough to nail any one. But then the accused weren’t ordinary people, the prime accused Manu Sharma’s father is a big time politician and Minister in Haryana Government, Vikas Yadav son of mafia don cum politician D.P. Yadav, Yograj Singh father of the famous cricketer Yuvraj Singh. Vikas Yadav incidentally is now involved in another murder case, he shot and then burned his sisters boyfriend. These people make a mockery of the law.

The whole system is so disgusting, it sucks big time, corrupt and inefficient. You can get with anything if you can pull the right strings. This was one of those open and shut cases but still the criminals managed to evade the law. The Police probably bribed, did not carry out proper investigation. The witness either bought off or threatened. Where does the ordinary citizen go for justice. Sometimes I wish there was a group of vigilantes who could send these people to the place they deserve to be.
