Rajan Dey , London, UK , says: The kind of harassment one faces from the police department in India would definitely make one think hundred times before approaching them for any help. That is why crime often takes place in broad daylight and no one dares to approach the victim for help only because of the post trauma police harassments. Police department is not for common man any more. That's the bitter truth! 16 Oct 2007, 2142 hrs IST

Munishwer Nath Gupta , New Delhi , says: I think we should evaluate ourselves before blaming others. It has become fashion to get the work done by hook or crook. If this is the case then everyone would exploit his power and that's what police and others are doing. I think if you're honest and would encourage the honesty then you will have so called great country India. 16 Oct 2007, 2135 hrs IST

Dr A Neelakanta Murthy , Boston, USA , says: Indian police (Gabbar Singh in a new garb) were once invoked by mothers to make their kids sleep out of fear! Alas, what a reputation! Well, it is not mere kids anymore! The common man in general, even the educated for that matter, is not only afraid of, but also sees them as a sordid scourge even to take a sly look at them. After all a hooligan in any attire must be kept at an arms length! That much for a supposed protector! 16 Oct 2007, 2133 hrs IST

Varsha , Finland , says: Politicians, mafias and the police! What network can be bigger than that? The common man does not stand a chance against such hardcore criminals! Whom do you reform first?
