Bad precedent

Sir, — Mehbooba Mufti's act of uncovering the face of a veiled woman, on suspicion that she was a bogus voter, during the election in Srinagar on April 26, was a bad precedent. There are time-honoured practices to tackle such situations. Her act of taking the law into her hands and injuring the dignity of the woman was in bad taste.

Ghulam Muhammed,
Mumbai
