The Safety Jinxed ..... re-iterated !

Jessica Lall , an aspiring model , a budding actress …………… but in the end , a deposit of useless human mass ! Weird , Right? A gun wielding maniac appears from nowhere asks for a drink …the bar tender refuses as the bar is closed . Just a finger press ….. a simple force displacement …. A sound ……and silence ! That was just what happened to Jessica Lall . Within seconds , she was dead . The case opened up in the police registers …. The police probably started on with the correct legal procedures , but then with burdening political pressures and heavy bribe around the corner …the registers closed down as swiftly as they had opened up ! About a decade later , as we witness a huge media led agitation for Jessica Lall , a few questions mushroom in the infinite passages of my mind ……


In a democracy that we are in ….Are we safe ? Does humanity still prevail ? Do we still be rest assured that the Police will be there in dangerous yet helpless times ? Hmm…. All these now seem queries without any obvious answers ! How else do you account for the fact that a murderer can roam on the streets without anyone questioning him just because he carries the genes of some random politician ! Indeed , its quite a pity . On the other hand , we have someone who went on a hunting expedition , killed a deer and now ended up with an year behind the bars ! Ha ! So to interpret it in terms of Indian Law , we could say that “If a human life were equated with that of a 4 legged deer , Yes , we would hold the murderer guilty (quite an irony ,right ?? ) “


Witnesses turned hostile …..A hundred odd people … those who actually witnessed the execution were bought off . Maybe not all of them …. Then what happened to the remainder in the deal ?Well , as they say …Fear lives in the eyes of the beholder . ! I guess , it was fear that prevented them from coming out from the dark and vouching for the betterment of humanity ! Whatever it was .. Ha , we duly appreciate the purchasing power that’s surely on an exponential increase …. Period !


Jessica Lall … that’s a name that now would remain a part of history . A piece of history , which probably could have written glorious chapters , a piece which would make the immediate generations more aware of what is WRONG and what is RIGHT .. Probably , at this juncture all we could do is support those who are fighting to win justice for this departed soul , maybe not for her, but for humanity which must prevail …for the justice that MUST be done … Last but not the least , may jessica’s soul Rest In Peace !
