In West Bengal, justice shouldn’t mean vendetta

In West Bengal, justice shouldn’t mean vendetta

2 min readJun 19, 2026 06:05 AM IST First published on: Jun 19, 2026 at 06:05 AM IST In the months since the BJP’s historic victory in West Bengal, an unsettling spectacle has become a recurring feature of public life. Arrested TMC leaders, including local strongmen such as Akash Singh and Jahangir Khan — the latter known for his proximity to senior TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee — have been marched through their former strongholds by police and paramilitary forces in restraints and made to perform public acts of penance. While the Calcutta High Court has expressed concern and sought a report from the government on the short shrift given to due process, investigating agencies have defended them as necessary for the reconstruction of alleged crimes. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has called it a return to the “rule of law”; a BJP MLA has described it as an expression of “true Ram Rajya”. The allegations against Khan and others are serious and deserve rigorous investigation and, where evidence permits, prosecution. But the strength of the rule …

Encounter actions in U.P. undermining criminal justice system, making society barbaric, says former U.P. top police officials

Amid the debate over the encounters in Uttar Pradesh, after the State government released figures of such operations, retired Director General of Police rank officials from U.P. on Saturday (June 6, 2026) said through this policy the whole society is “made barbaric”, adversely affecting the growth of the democratic system, adding that these encounter actions fundamentally undermine the criminal justice system and foster a culture of lawlessness.   “Our society has unfortunately given social recognition to such acts of encounters. During the V.P. Singh regime, a Maro Maro [hit hit] campaign was launched in early 1980s. But, for the first time, the State in the last nine years under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rule has made encounters an instrument of controlling crime. In a Ghaziabad village, the mother of the victim demanded the accused body must be shown to the family after his encounter. People are accepting encounters as legal, moral acts, which in reality is a barbaric medieval act. Instant justice through encounter, is an extrajudicial killing, a black chapter for the society.
