  1. Killings of both forms, one by armed goons and the other by irate mob are highly condemnable. I wonder the inaction of the Police also. Peoples are not to be allowed to take law in their hands. This has become our culture. We should immediately stop such a barbaric culture which has become so common during the last 10/15 years.
