it is surprising that no arrest is yet made though the woman has killed the boy. Why there is no arrest. Are they allowing the culprit to run away. Or is there any political pressure on police. Mera bharat mahan. In india one has the right to kill but there is no law to punish the real murderer who are enjoying and innocents and people from minority are being sentended to death. Killers of Samjotha express train, Malegaon blast, ajmer blast and hderabad blast are being awarted protectin by Govt. Can we expect death sentence to the master minds of these blasts.
