As I write to pen this down, I fume with anger and disappointment strikes me once again ......
It's been two weeks my cousin, Dr. Chetan Patil , a 26 year old aspiring MD student studying in Bagalkot, was brutally murdered and stabbed to death by nine men on the deserted streets of Belgaum. REASON :he was a HINDU ! Chetan had become another victim of religious conflicts in the nation; his bloodshed body just lay there on the street in the wee hours of morning. What a draconian act to kill a innocent passerby in the wee hours of night who's oblivious and is returning home.All in the name of Religion! Its no more a new phenomenon in the country since thousands of innocents have so far fell to the senseless killings.and will continue to... Wonder how people can be so radical and inhumane!
The entire incident is infuriating--- the cops trying to hide the incident by dumping my brother's dead body in a Civil Hospital not to instigate further riots, only informing the unaware parents the morning later When contacted by these helpless parents, no hospital takes responsibility about the whereabouts of the dumped body.The bandaged body is then handed over to the parents the next day in the noon after post mortem and the tedious investigations.....I just couldn't hold back my tears when my weeping aunt narrated the incident to me.
It's the aftermath the families of these victims go through. Those ba****will never know my Uncle's silent cries nor my aunt's sleepless nights and what it is to lose the only child on whom they had their hopes on and their entire dream built upon.Some words of sympathy and some condolences in the press is all the power pundits could do .And that has been for years. Such incidents are a routine affair for them.
And I'm so very sure those accused in my brother's murder will be out of jail on bail in search of another Chetan.I realise that this mere piece of blog is not going to humanize the laws out there nor stop those dogs to hunt down for another Chetan...And I do not know if ever there will be an end to it.
Cheti, you are truly missed...And I just can't get over the fact that you aren't there anymore.Its a sheer unjustice that we had to part with you.
God bless you for such a wonderful soul that you have always been....
