Vikas Dubey Saga: Reflecting on Lucknow's Badmen in Nicer Times
The QuintThe manner of Vikas Dubey's "encounter" would cause Joey the child in awe of Shane played by Alan Ladd to scream: "That's not fair - I hate you." A knee-jerk response to the Dubey saga would lead nowhere without picking up the thread of a perennially unjust system of which the police are the chosen cat's paw. Systemic injustice, the police and “badmen” figure in my experience in two clusters: the peaking of urban terror at the hands of Mumbai's underworld after the frightening 1993 pogrom and, of course, the badmen of Lucknow during my growing up years. These notional lines, like all frontiers, could be pushed depending on the Bakait's personality and that of others holding contiguous terrains.
