As I was reading Times of India today, I came across this article where a 19 years old boy was stopped by police when he was driving his brother's motorbike to his college to pay his fees. On finding out that the boy did not have Driving License, the policemen took away Rs. 5000 meant for his fees and dragged him to police station. The boy could not bear the humiliation and drank pesticide in front of the police station. The policemen then took him to hospital where he is battling for life. The policemen, later, were saying that they only sent him a notice and deny taking the money.
I felt really sorry for the boy after reading this article and was thinking if he really deserved this. Was it completely his fault for driving the vehicle without having a DL (though he was above 18) or could the policemen have been more lenient to him? What do you think? Who is responsible for this situation?
1. The policemen: The soft target that first come into our mind. They were brutal and didn't behave in the right way with the boy.
2. The boy: For breaking the law and driving the motorbike without DL.
3. Anyone else?
