Buy the law

All 9 accused got acquitted in Jessica lal Murder case.

Salman Khan gets bail in the hit-run incident.

I am sure, none of you would have missed these and many more such headlines in the newspapers. These incidents are just a trailor of the bigger movie running in this society where the rich is the judge and money is the law.

These high-fame politician sons and actors seem to live in a different world. They are always in a euphoria, life is like a bed of roses with all the thorns have been distributed to the poor and the unfortunate. You may have seen things like killing people on petty things like refusing a drink, only in movies but it happened with Jessica and a murder committed in front of a full party before scores of people went unpunished due to the so-called lack of evidence. Is it really credible that the whole machinery of Delhi police could not find the murder weapon? Why does not our judiciary ponder over the intriguing problem of eye-witness turning hostile, whether it is Jessica lal Murder case or Best Bakery case? The whole matter weakens the dying belief of the poor and the downtrodden in the administration and judiciary of the country. For the poor and middle class, the police is perceived to be a bigger criminal than the local dada or bhai. who just demands a regular hafta.

The cruel but simple fact is Money rules. When Salman Khan was delivered a year sentence in the black buck case, the media instead od finding out whether he was guilty or innocent, was busy in calculting that Bollywood will have to suffer losses of crores if he is indicted. So, does that mean that economic power brings you the license of committing heinous crimes and run away unpunished even after breaching the laws of the land? Do these larger than life figures have gone bigger than the laws of the land?

If you believe that criminal trials are a testimony of the power of law then let me try to bring out of this utopia. Remember the DPS R K Puram MMS scandal, only the poor boy Ravi Raj had to bear all the ignominy of trial and nation wide infamy while no one knows the name of the two juveniles enjoying themselves before the camera. In this country, money can make witnesses turn hostile, it can destroy evidence, it can hire lawyers, it can even extort the plaintiff to withdraw the case itself saying Babu, jo beet gayi so baat gayi. as happened in the case when a drunk bollywood hero who plays the compassionate all charming playboy on the silver screen ran his car over some poor man sleeping on the roadside. The life of the poor soul was sold to satisfy the hunger of the devil. He had his driver ready to take the blame, the victim's family too went in his support. Hence, you can even buy life in this country called India. In India, everything is on sale whether it is life, morals, justice or whatever. Hey Mastercard people, are you listening, nothing is priceless.
