Rab


Indeed a lot has been said and debated about Rab. Many people have supported while others have opposed Rab. But if we see, Rab is liked by the majority people. Mr. Kaushik, the reason behind this liking is the liquidation of criminals . May I present you two little stories. The first one is about a time when there was no Rab and the second one describes an incident taking place after Rab was born.

In a crowded shopping plaza Mr. B (not the real name) and his family members were shopping peacefully. All of a sudden, there were some gunshots and some hue and cry. Everybody was running here and there but Mr. B didn't run for his life, he went forward and tried to find out what had happened. He came to know a shopkeeper was shot dead for not giving chaanda to the chamchas of a muscleman, and to his utter dismay Mr. B found out that the shopkeeper was none other than his son's father-in-law. After that nobody came forward to help them in any way and our great police arrived after two hours. Mr. B was again surprised to see that instead of going after the culprits(who were very much recognised by police) the police asked for money from Mr. B for lodging a murder case... Years went by but nothing happened to the culprits, but Mr. B and his family members were still threatened to withdraw the case, or they would suffer the same fate.

After Rab was born Mr. B went to them and narrated the whole incident. Rab started searching for the main culprit who was a listed criminal wanted in a dozen murder cases . At last Rab found him. They arrested him and the next day he was shot dead in crossfire.

Mr Kaushik, please note that you want the system in the first story. But the people of this country prefer the system in the second. That is why Rab is liked by most of the people in this country. It is a democratic country and there is law. But until and unless corruption and crime are uprooted there won't be any proper application of this law.
