Mower Truck

Dishonest policemen do make news. This time round one such 'protector of law' is suspected to have, at least indirectly, accounted for the lives of two boys in Rajabazar, Kolkata. It is nice and fine that the truck-driver wanted to bypass the cop suspected to have been waiting for his dose of bribe. But did the policeman pop into the scene out of nowhere? If that is not the case, then why was the truck-driver not careful enough to notice that the two boys were playing on the pavement, when he attempted to speed past the policeman? The driver must have been inattentive. Perhaps he was too engrossed in the 24x7 radio revolution. Whatever the case may have been, who are going to care for the bereaved family members of tiny Shahabuddin and Azharuddin, who perished before flowering?
