The Story in Brief
Lucknow police arrested seven people after post-mortems revealed that two men whose deaths were initially thought to be natural had been murdered. In the first case, fintech employee Gyanendra Singh, 36, was found dead on August 6 in his locked car at Ashiana. A post-mortem showed a fatal head injury, and CCTV footage allegedly showed him fighting at a liquor shop. Police arrested Sachin alias China and Jitendra alias Jeetu.
In the second case, Anil Kumar, 36, was found dead on August 3 in an empty plot at Bakshi Ka Talab with no visible injuries. A post-mortem again revealed a fatal head injury. CCTV footage allegedly showed him scuffling with five men who asked him for money to buy liquor. Police arrested Durgesh Yadav, Kuber Yadav alias Amar Yadav, Ranjit Rawat, Ramkesh Yadav and Awadhesh Yadav.
The Indian Opinion
The media often rushes to frame every crime as a shocking failure of policing, but here the police actually did their job: post-mortems and CCTV caught what neighbours missed. The lazy narrative that law enforcement only acts after outrage is false in these cases. The real test will be if the accused get speedy trials or if courts let them linger for years.
