New Delhi: In the wake of a death of a teenager after she was injured in celebratory firing at a wedding function, former top cop Kiran Bedi explains how such incidents can be prevented:
- Such incidents reflect a lawless culture
- Stricter and harsher punishment required for those who indulge in such activities
- Celebratory firings happen repeatedly as the awareness is very low
- No existing method of prevention in place
- Systems like community policing and neighbourhood watch groups needed
- Accused in such cases must be sent to jail and must also be told to pay adequate compensation to the victim or the victim`s kin
- Punishment must go beyond arrest, investigation and challan
