Posers to Jayalalithaa

Sir, - The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Ms. Jayalalithaa, owes the people answers for the following questions. Is it not a breach of propriety that the video film taken by the police during Mr. Karunanidhi's arrest, an official document having evidential value in a court of law, was permitted to be telecast exclusively on a private channel?

Is it not against service rules for the police to defend their actions in a case through the media? Does not the police IG's assertion that his department will stand by the police officers concerned when the Centre has demanded action against them amount to a revolt against authority?

Will Ms. Jayalalithaa own full responsibility and resign if it turns out that the police video had been doctored?
