Khap protesters block Hisar road over dairy operator murder

The Indian Opinion

This case will test whether khap pressure actually speeds up police work or simply delays due process. The victim's family had to escalate to a road blockade before the SP appeared within three minutes, an admission that urgency exists only when inconvenience spreads. Yet the khap's decision to withhold last rites until arrests are made can also intimidate authorities into rushing an investigation. The real measure will be whether the police now produce credible arrests within days, or merely pick up scapegoats to defuse the protest.
