Rajanpur gangsters

Published August 23, 2017

THIS is apropos your editorial ‘Rajanpur gangsters’ (Aug 22). Another story relating to this gangster, on the inside pages, talks about kidnapped police officers recovered from these gangsters.

Chotu dacoit and his gangsters arrested by the army about a year back are in the lock-up, but people do not know about their trial and conviction. Had he and members of his gang been tried and given an exemplary punishment, this new gangster would not have emerged and taken his place. As the saying goes : justice delayed is justice denied
