Horror Knows No Bounds!

The news channels have become such dreary places! For the last many days, day in and day out, every hour, on the hour, the so called updates of the serial killings that have been taking place in Nithari in Noida are unabashedly flashed. Much has been said and written about these killings, but can anything truly account for the horror that these murders of innocent children and women, represent?!?

Various speculations have been made while trying to unearth the reasons that could possibly be behind these inhuman acts. From sexual pleasure to organ trade to the workings of a disordered mind, all grounds have been covered within a span of a few days! The accused have been made to undergo tests of varying natures and types. Apparently, the prime accused is now under a doctor's care in a hospital because of his diabetic body suddenly sporting extremely high sugar levels.

Like A says, just because the media are coming more and more into their own now, such acts are being brought to light! Who knows, such things may have been taking place for eons, but got buried with a soundless funeral! Last night, there was a discussion going on in one of the myriad news channels, where they tried to get into the mind of the prime accused. There was a psychiatric doctor present on the show, not to mention a high profile policewoman, a school friend of the accused, a good smattering of sundry politicians; the works! All debated upon what could have actually taken place. The doctor talked about how such people have a diabolical nature, and how they can easily exist as two different personalities; to her merit, the policewoman condemned the lapses made by the police force in this case (a point that is known to the whole nation by now!); the politicians, as is wont and almost customary, engaged in their usual mud-slinging and passing the blame exercises! Surprisingly, the man who had gone to school with the prime accused vehemently stated that he believed in his classmate's innocence. He claimed that as a lawyer, he has been trained to not believe anyone guilty, unless conclusively proven to be so! The doctor was quick to butt in and point out that it was not unusual for the people who have interacted closely with people plagued with such diabolical natures, to not to be able to believe that they can commit such ghastly crimes too!!!

Whatever be the reason for these killings, how are these discussions and the continuous harping on this dastardly topic, going to help the people who have lost their children? Now that so much has already not been done, shouldn't it be the aim to bring to justice whoever is responsible for these heinous acts, and ensure that the remaining parents and children can lead a life of at least less, if not, no fear at all! Nothing can ever compensate for the death of the twenty-odd? children, but at least, give the parents who lost them the satisfaction of knowing that the guilty have been brought to justice, with a punishment that leaves none in doubt.
