How cool do we all (the young guns) think of biking
The recent shooting incident by the police left the Police Authority to answer innumerable questions as to what was the need of taking a bikers life (Karan Pandey) along with a brutal injury to his mate (Punit Sharma) while they thought of enjoying with friends while riding their bikes. Do we all get the answers we want?
The next question to my mind is why are police authorities concerned about people driving their bikes in midnight when there isn’t any kind of traffic on the roads and why do police let these people do what they want. The answer to this comes here: Delhi is a city with young boys in whom there’s a rush as to things they find attracting and things which they consider would provide them with a big man’s popularity. Do all Stuntmen want to become Craig Jones?
Under the section 189, Motor Vehicle Act: Racing or speeding in any public place without any written consent of the state government SHALL be punishable with term of 6 months imprisonment and repeating the same offence could lead to further trouble. Basically, the roads have been full of illegality and such kind of Violations and now we all rise up to this issue. Why?? Considering the fact that such illegality won’t be tolerated its completely up to us are we ready to borne the punishment or follow the norms that society has created for us. The newly created Buddh circuit has been created for people to ride their vehicles in whichever way they want, leading to certain safety for people to walk on the roads and for lesser accidents on our streets.
However as stated By the police in the incident reported on 28th july,2013 the pillions were under the influence of alcohol and such incidence have occurred in the past where the pillions who have been caught on the Delhi streets near the India gate, Gol Dak Khana, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib,Aruna asif ali,Nelson Mandela Marg which are considered their meeting points. To add more to this, its been stated that in the past few years these bikers are involved in some criminal nexus or in chain snatching, robberies and other offences.
Now coming to the issue that is the police force justified in firing or what other mean could have been adopted?
Certainly firing isn’t the best way of stopping these pillion riders but catching hold of them driving at 150km/hr by the PCR or by the police on their bikes is like putting themselves in danger. As Dr.Kiran Bedi stated methods like putting 4wheel mini trucks on each of these points could be a viable option to stop them and by the cameras mounted on the streets. So at the end, police should have acted more properly and let the enquiry be completed by taking the evidence of the passer-by and training should be imparted to them more towards this issue all over India by making the professional stuntmen help out in a positive way and let the parents be more responsible towards this issue by making them a party to the act which are performed by their young generation.
