Nine years for ticketless travel

Times of India is reporting something substantial on its first page for a change today – even though it is below the story where Karishma Kapoor calls her husband a liar. It is a report about a girl who spent nine years in a correctional facility because she was traveling in the train without a ticket in lawless Bihar.

It is really mind boggling to think that how the rich and well connected in India get away literally with a murder while the law gets applied to the poor and helpless.

Here is the link to the entire article. Here is the screen shot of TOI’s front page where the store about Karishma calling her husband liar was deemed to be more newsworthy than this story.
