Opinion - Letters to the Editor   

Needed, restraint

Whenever terrorist attacks take place, the police claim they have nabbed some suspects. Often, they turn out to be innocent as in the case of the Varanasi blast suspects. The Delhi police too nabbed a wrong person after the serial blasts last year. The security agencies can refrain from going to the media before gathering any conclusive evidence. Innocent persons are put to great stress when their images are shown on television or carried in newspapers.
