In a rare incident of revenge, a woman burned the killer of her husband alive at Kunsi village of Maganuru mandal in Mahabubnagar district, about 150 km from Hyderabad in India. According to the police resources, Bhimshappa, 24, refused to give lift to the drunken Mahesh, a fellow villager as the former already had a pillion rider on his scooter. Humiliated Mahesh later attacked Bhimshappa with a sickle while he was asleep at his home that killed him on the spot. Loosing her control over the incident, Bhimshappa's widow Maremma caught the culprit with the help of her relatives who thrashed him badly and tied him to a tree. Not satisfied with the punishment meted out to him, she poured kerosene on him and set him ablaze. Known to be a fine man, Bhimshappa was respected by everyone in the village and the entire village is now defending Mariamma who has been arrested by the police. She married Bhimshappa, an agricultural labourer, a year and half ago and they have a month-old baby. This is a rare case of course but in a way the man deserved punishment albeit not so harsh. However, in these current times where the court proceedings are awfully slow and most of the time the culprit goes scot-free if he is influential, people have little faith in judiciary. Corrupt police too sides with the one with a heavy pocket and can easily kill evidence. This case is indeed an eye opener for the law makers.

This is true that this case is an eye opener for the law-makers, but here now Maremma the deceased man's wife will then be equally punished because even she is a murderer now, in order to take revenge even she has killed someone.Then for her we would again ask the law to be bit lineant, just because she has killed someone to take revenge for her husband's death and satisfy her personal agony. But then law is meant to be same for everyone.Its been human nature to blame others and live as it makes the living a bit easier, therefore pointing the finger at the law makers or the laws doesn't bring back both the lives.
ReplyDeleteThat what my point is that if we do a micro-analysis of the revenge part, its a clear indication that people have lost faith in law enforcing agencies as well as judicial procedure. And the irony here is that the biggest loser is the person who has suffered the most.Mariamma first lost her husband and would now languish in jail with no future for her child.
