Opinion - Letters to the Editor

A warning

The judgment of a Delhi court, convicting 10 policemen for their involvement in the Connaught Place shooting case in 1997, in which two businessmen were killed, should serve as a warning to the law-enforcing agencies.

It is hoped that the police will respect the people and create a cordial atmosphere instead of faking encounters.

The conviction of the policemen shows that the rule of law prevails in the country. The prosecution has done a tremendous job by ensuring that justice was done. The people welcome the conviction and hope that the accused are given a punishment that will have a deterrent effect on the police force.
