#BrickOrBribe: Capital Cops Still Stuck in 'Stone' Age?
Tonight on The Buck Stops Here:
#BrickOrBribe: Capital cops still stuck in 'stone' age?
A Delhi traffic constable is caught on camera, beating a woman with brick for allegedly refusing to pay a bribe of Rs 200. On The Buck Stops Here, we ask: is the Delhi police still stuck, quite literally, in the 'stone' age? The victim's husband joins the show and asks, "Which law gives power to the police to hit women with bricks?" Former IPS officer, Kiran Bedi gives a staggering statistic - if every cop is to be given a weekly off, police strength will have to be increased by 148%.
First Salman, then Jayalalithaa: VIPs first among equals before the law?
Acquitted in a disproportionate assets case, J Jayalalithaa is all set to return as chief minister of Tamil Nadu. It took 18 years to convict the AIADMK supremo, but today the verdict was delivered in a matter of 10 seconds. On the Buck Stops Here, we debate: first Salman Khan, now Jayalalithaa, is our law treating VIPs with kid gloves? Are higher courts demoralizing lower courts by overturning what many believe are brave verdicts? And as Prime Minister Narendra Modi calls Jayalalithaa and congratulate her, what are the political implications of the return of Amma?
