And while the police systems are frequently known to show misapplication of mind and/or incorrectly slap unsubstantiated charges, sometimes even attracting disdain from the constitutional courts — Such as, when the apex court felt the need to remind, in their order granting bail to journalist Mohammed Zubair, that “police officers have a duty to apply their mind to the case before them and ensure that the condition(s) in Section 41 are met before they conduct an arrest…” …Or when the Bombay High Court quoted William Shakespeare in their order quashing a case of cruelty against a judicial office: “But he that filches from me my good name robs me of that which not enriches him and makes me poor indeed.” — can one legitimately argue that the police is wrong to book the Khanjawala accused for murder? Not quite. Not yet at least. Simply speaking, culpable homicide and murder are not all that far away from each other in terms of ingredients. In fact Section 300 of Indian Penal Code goes on to say that barring exceptions (which then come under Section 304), culpable homicide is murder, if the act by which the death is caused is done with the intention of causing death. But how can one say that the intention of those in the Baleno was to kill the victim? At the moment, one cannot. In fact, initial reports of the incident had cited the police as saying that the accused and the victim did not know each other. Also, it could’ve been just another instance of reckless, drunk driving le...

I was scared and ran away and returned home, didn't tell anything to anyone. It is the fault of the girl who was driving in an inebriated state. I insisted that she shouldn't drive.
