By the face of gatherings, seems most of them are paid jobless. The pain and loss only effect on respective family members and his dependents. Peace loving public should not respond to any kind of political gain or to support politicians. Support victims family and fight for the justice.
Fellow appearing with smile really unfortunate and non sense behaviour
are danger to human kind. Seems these are the main members of criminal group. Department must keep close watch on such groups.
This height of Politics Even the dead are not spared in INDIA !
Firstly perform the last rights of the DEAD and then protest, every soul should have Peace and Justice.
Crime never pays it will come to light sooner or later, for example the case of RTI activist murder.
