-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Read V.M. de Malar's latest Column: | | | | Politics of Destruction | | | | http://www.goanet.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=416 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that the duo killers (in their own admission) have been arrested, produced in the Criminal Court Margao and thereafter remanded to police custody for 14 days, the general view of the public is that the police should be allowed to complete their investigations and tighten up the loose ends to enable them make a fool proof case.
It must be remembered that the rate of conviction in India is about 4 % and therefore to ensure that the ends of justice are met the people who are in the know of things could at best volunteer to make statements before the court or assist the Maina Curtorim police who have done a comMendable job in tracking down the duo. This in the opinion of well meaning citizens is the only way one could ensure conviction. Hence mere debate/clarifications and counter clarification on press reports etc would only distract the attention of the police. The Deputy Inspector General of Police Mr Ujwal Mishra is believed to have handled the case exceedingly well as on now and even if some statements as may have appeared in a section of the press or in other news media needs to be read between the lines lest the culprits wriggle out of the situation It should also be noted that the antecedents of the duo killers are yet to be identified and at this juncture it would not be possible for the Police to divulge all information. Hence the general feeling is to excercise restraint and support the police personnel. This writer assures the concerned citizens of close follow up on merits as the case progressess. It would also not be out of place if the police personnel of Maina Curtorim Salcete Goa are rewarded for their excellent job, in tracking down the culprits.
