Miscarriage?

So do you think Moninder Singh Pandher deserves to die? I know the blood lust of some television channels was satisfied last night, but I actually tend to agree with the ToI's opinion that this is a case of judicial over-reach (and their spectacularly bad website means as usual you can't find the piece). HT has an interesting quote from the guy's wife (talking about call girls, etc, I will try and find the link) and the case stretches circumstantial evidence a bit too much. And as for confessions I would suggest you guys see the American series Dexter's first season. The conviction will be overturned, but the blood lust has been satisfied, the lynch mob will probably not be around in the HC. Oh well...

Dude - there are holes with all major CBI cases - but between the CBI and the UP Police, I would trust the CBI more. Remember the UP police which didn't bother to seal off the house and in the Arushi murder proclaimed the servant guilty before discovering the servants body the next day. These guys protect goons all over the state. You'll claim to doing a lot if you're tortured. The Americans have no frikking idea what torture is all about. Come to India and Uttar Pradesh to find out. Tehelka's 'argument' blowing panders to the mob. If people have to be hanged for balling ugly hookers, God save the Indian men!
