Rape in Lawless Capital: Corrupt Politicians, Inept Law Enforcers

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/2924588.cms

What a pity such incidents recur at frequent intervals and there is no end in sight as the agencies responsible for maintaining law and order in the country continue to display a disgraceful performance. The law makers too are busy filling their pockets with total indifference towards the people who elected them. The saddest part of the sordid event is yet to come; the culprits will be granted bail in a couple of days. It is as if the law exists for the criminals and not for the ordinary law abiding citizens. The corrupt politicians who should be formulating stricter laws to check the growing menace of crime in the country, are incapable of thinking beyond their own political survival; hence the frequent walkouts from Parliament / State Assemblies during business hours. The courts too would pitch in by delaying the trial, to the advantage of the criminals. Is it any wonder the people take law into their own hands to punish the guilty?
