Long Detentions Make Gangsters Operate Gangs from Jails

Sentinel Digital Desk

It refers to the day-light killing of a notorious criminal in Narela (Delhi) on 08.09.2019 allegedly due to a gang-war. Crime-activities in the capital city can never be controlled where known gangsters operating gang said to have been operating from inside the jail, are kept in long custody. It may be recalled that the unfortunate incident of hijack of IC-814 Indian plane on 24.12.1999 was caused only to successfully got released three notorious terrorists from Pakistan including Maulana Masood Azahar who has become a headache for India after his forced release as pre-condition to free Indian civilian plane.

Delhi government and Delhi Police should take initiatives so that court trial of known gangsters may be supersonically completed at all levels, including at trial-stage at High Court and Supreme Court. Even it should be ensured that mercy-petitions if filed by such convicted gangsters in case of confirmation of death-sentence, may be decided fast to make final execution as fast as possible.

Only such a fast justice-delivery system can check increasing crimes by gangsters in the capital. If needed, the Delhi government can write to the Chief Justice of India for ensuring fast justice to pave the way for making Delhi a crime-free capital.
