WE ALL have a pragmatic vision to seek and see justice done. Many a times, individuals take the need to chastise those who have committed crimes into their own hands. The societies that practice vigilante justice do so because there is no central system to deliver justice for them or if there is, it is corrupt and worthless.

We believe that punishment should be proportional to a crime. Prima facie, police organisation, which is believed to be the watchdog shakes its legs only after the occurrence of the crime. Stringent security measures are followed only on the visits of VIPs and that too for their protection or after the occurrence of an incident, which poses threat to the national security.

The police organisation has breached the public trust, because of which people are leading a tensed life with despair of a crime free environment; hence despite of a large police organisation that is deployed to prevent the occurrence of crime, more and more people are applying for licence for a legal weapon under Arms Act for self-defence and the reasons are legitimate enough to be worked on.

On the other hand, we can’t refute the occurrence of incidents related to the flouting of Arms Act where procuring and misusing of licenced weapons is a matter of pride for the people who are affluent or bully by nature. Reports of ’accidental’ shooting of revelers by licenced weapons at weddings are amongst the most common ones.
