But due diligence hasn’t been the strong suit of the UP police for a long time. Under chief minister Yogi Adityanath, one of whose first acts as CM of the nation’s most populous state in early 2017, was to have all criminal cases against himself dropped, the idea of justice and of dependable police work, an important aspect of judicial administration, have become con- spicuous by their absence. The law and order machinery has been both politicised and communalised. In the present case, the police acted swiftly, booking culprits from not only UP but also Gujarat, with tracking of suspects also being done in Nagpur in Maharashtra. This is possibly because those booked are from the Muslim community. This would be in keeping with the record of the Adityanath adminis- LETTERS tration whether we document the fake encounters, the so-called “love jihad” cases that were overly communalised and shown to be fabricat- CITY’S LEGACY ed, or of the innocent medical professional Dr Kafeel, who appears to Humiliation for Cong It is very painful to read have been framed on account of his faith.
