Comfortable Captivity: A Tale of Two Worlds The recent case of a 20 year old accused in the alleged abduction and sexual assault of a 16 year old girl has taken an unexpected turn, highlighting the stark contrast between the treatment meted out to suspects in India's justice system.
The youth, who was arrested last week, is demanding VIP treatment in police lock up, including soft bedding, pizza, and premium food.
This development reflects the accused's entitlement, but it also underscores a broader issue: the glaring inequality in how suspects are treated by law enforcement agencies.
