Daya Nayak the famous encounter specialist of the Mumbai Police is currently being tried for the many financial irregularities and corruption allegedly committed by him. Interestingly the conscience of the nation is pricked by the revelation of his vast wealth not commensurate with his known sources of income but that he could have killed thousands of human beings without a fair trial and merely on suspicion was the source of inspiration to many a Hindi Film. He represents the typical mind of a police officer given the authority to act with impunity and without any fear of its consequences.
A person not concerned about the legal procedures and their validity in dealing with fellow humans is more likely than not to become susceptible to adopting unfair means in his other public dealings as well. The powers that be when protect people like Daya Nayak in their dangerous passions of happy killings are creating the hideous Frankenstein who become Gods in their version of delivering justice. No Zeus appears to be in sight who could bind the Prometheus who has let loose a reign of terror on ordinary mortals in the name of containing crime and resistance.
The system that will not only sanction but approve of iniquitous means like extra-judicial killings will ultimately suffer. No matter what the circumstances the State will have to maintain its commitment to its Constitution to fulfil the aspirations of its citizens. Any short cuts or deviations from the norms will have disastrous cost
