Don't blame all

The rape of a minor in Mumbai's busy Marine Drive is shocking. The heinous crime committed by a member of the police force makes it even worse. But it is not correct to blame the entire force. What we can do is concentrate on educating policemen in the lower cadres to make them psychologically and socially sensitive.

Though the furore over the incident is justified, what is not justified is the demonisation of the police force. There are black sheep in all the professions. The police are no exception.
