Mini Jallianwala bagh repeated?

Court acquits massacre accused in Bihar

Patna, (Bihar Times): The additional district and sessions judge, Gaya, K N Rai, on Saturday acquitted 24 people, accused in the case of Khagaribigha and Jawahirbigha carnage in which 12 people were shot dead.

The court acquitted them of all the charges for want of sufficient evidence to proceed with the trial.

Six Yadav and six Dalits were shot dead by activists of Ranvir Sena, said to be an outfit of Bhumihars, the landed upper caste, at Khagaribigha and Jawahirbigha in the district on April 11, 1999.


Any mass murder reminds me of General Dyers and the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre.
The above judgement just reinforces by belief that the general public were much better off under the British Rule than by our own despots.
Six people are massacred and the police cannot build a case strong enough to put them behind bars.
If this is not collusion between the moneyed high caste and the administration, tell me what is?
It is these cases where injustice is done to the poor that gives birth to Maoism.
Is Nitish Kumar listening?
No amount of Aapki Sarkar, Apke Dwar will remove Maoism if this injustice continues.
