Just to prove right what I said in my last entry, the very thing I was warning against happened in Delhi. It seems there was this police inspector posted in a New Delhi area who was coming down hard on local crime. So the wife of one such criminal thought, "why not?" and yelled "RAPE!". In no time a whole crowd gathered and attacked the police station, generally rioting and creating a public nuisance. It was soon all over the media and TV channels were cmoparing the hapless man to various rapists all over. He was transferred out fo the area immediately. Of course when the said female "victim" retracted her statement after a couple of days when it became clear to her she couldn't make the charges stick, no news channel covered that! It was no more than a footnote. That's Indian justice for you!
