Extracts of an article by an atrticle by @sarkar_swati :Tainted cop probing Ishrat Jahan encounter Playing the devil’s advocate let us assume that the terrorists were indeed eliminated in cold blood in a staged encounter. Even in such an eventuality, before condemning the law-enforcers from our luxurious high-rises in Delhi, let us examine the possibilities that would arise if they did not. The police could surely have arrested the terrorists and produced them in court. In due course, they would be sentenced to jail terms and our consciences satisfied. Not quite, since before the act is perpetrated, the law enforcers rarely have evidences that would stand legal scrutiny. Corroboration of the intelligence input in a court of law would violate the anonymity the sources deserve. Good offices of competent lawyers could have been utilised to have the assassins released on bail perhaps to provide them another shot at their target. Would that have been acceptable if only to abide by the letter of civilisation? Spare our war on terror! | Niti Central niticentral/2013/06/18/spare-our-war-on-terror-91753.html
