Same here; not surprised, but shocked. So, does this mean you have never gone out of your house around mid-night? And not necessary to wear a gold chain, even your clothes might be valuable to someone!!!

Or did Bangalore go back to the stone age rules??? (or is that the Wild Wild West rules?)

Edit: I am outta here! Pointless discussion (with regard to "safety" of wheeling at 1am and the policeman's "fault" at doing their job.) As they say - You can make a blind man see, not a person acting blind.

I am reminded of the Delhi CM Sheila Dixit blaming the lady journalist for being out late that got her killed.

pls go and ask a cop if he would tell you if its ok for you to walk (alone) with a gold chain in the middle of the night, pls dont question my logic ,

there is only one thing that i would agree with you ."TRULY POINTLESS"

The cop will obviously tell you not to walk down the road in the middle of the night with a gold chain. He is under paid and over worked. We all know how badly our police force is understaffed. This is the only reason they say don't do this or don't do that.

Moreover half the cops I have seen are so dis-interested in their work.

OK, so again we have proved we are India. We know what happens everywhere and at the core.

But let us not argue as it will be endless discussions. People are talking about rules and that makes me think why only for common man. What about everyone else. Any body can make mistakes and this includes those HUMAN BEING in Indian Army.
I am not in support of what army did. Neither in support of what that bike rider did. We are a country where people can pay money and people can take money i.e. bribe in parliament and this was on broadcast.

So we can safely stay away for using harsh words and arguing.

@mods: Can we lock this thread now. It is leading to chaos.

You are mixing up two different issues here.

If a cop has the right to chase a chain snatcher, then he also has a right to chase a wheelie doing racer because both these activities are illegal.

so who would you rather have been caught and persecuted. ? the chain the snatcher or the "student" who was doing wheelies?

also like i have said before i am not opposing the authority of the cops .

plus the issues are already mixed up , i dont have to take the pains of mixing up issues for the sake of argument. thats already been done.

Both. By doing something illegal the student was just as guilty as a chain snatcher. Only difference being the chain snatcher would do it for money and student did it for fun. Sad how his fun ended. All I am saying is that he should have stopped when the cops first tried to stop him. He would be alive today albeit a little poorer by the fine.

To Vikram D and Siddartha,

You both are right in your own personal view points.

Lets end this here, as the guy has already lost his life. Let the jurisdiction take this further.

On a lighter note :
Both of you please dont end up chasing each other on Bangalore roads tonight

i definetely did not/have/will not say what the student was doing was right/legal. my point is that the student's crime is lesser , smaller , irrelevant when compared to other crimes, and he definitely did not deserve to be hunted down.

so how would the guard know that he was a street racer and not another 'Kasab'? if the boy had only stopped and explained what he was doing, he would have got away with a few well deserved slaps.

in case he was a terrorist and the guard had not fired, what would be your reaction?

why didnt the cops who were chasing him on the roads not inform the military guards that he wasnt a terrorist ?
