My dear Vidya,

I have not watched this one yet, but it sounds very promising, and I am delighted that they are showing a gallantry award for Riya. In my post Requiem for Riya (at

http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3261729#68270416,

I had specifically called for the award of the President's Police Medal for Gallantry to her, as it is the highest award in that category, and its requirements are a perfect fit for what Riya did in the line of duty.

I had noted there:"Riya unquestionably deserves the President's Police Medal for Gallantry. To quote the official write up "The President's Police Medal for Gallantry is the most prestigious award for any police officer in the country. It is awarded for displaying conspicuous gallantry, courage and devotion to duty of very high order. The police officer keeps the duty before self in completing the task. This award is rare in itself as the action should match the risk involved on the occasion."

Nothing fits these requirements better than what Riya Mukherjee accomplished in the line of duty, knowing beyond doubt that it would be at the cost of her life, and thus showing courage and dedication that went way beyond the call of duty. I hope they show her as being given this Medal posthumously, as happens very often in real life. The award, which is rare, is given by the President of India at the Republic Day parade on January 26."

It is not clear to me which award they have shown now, but even if it is not the President's Police Medal for Gallantry, it is something that the CVs have taken a valid suggestion on board. I shall watch the episode tomorrow and see which one it is.

I have now seen this episode, and I am surprised and disheartened that not one of the posts in this thread has expressed any dismay at the sickening and gruesome scene of a policeman being burnt alive - not, as I had imagined, by being trapped in a burning house by the goons , but by being deliberately doused with naptha and set on fire, while his superior officer, Inspector Daate, smiles and Shikre chortles in glee.

Did it not make any of you sick to the pit of your stomach? It did me. I do not care how clever the detection process was, and as for holes, I have discovered quite a few, but what hit me like a ton of bricks was the level of sadistic violence, which was repeated towards the end of the episode. it was intolerable. And that too in an 8 pm show, when children are still up in most families .

This sort of thing should be stopped. It is no use saying that such things might happen,though I personally have not heard of this kind of horror story in real life. There are any number of very ugly things that go on in the world,and one cannot show all of them on screen, and so casually at that. Why could they not have shown that brave man being knocked down by the truck and killed? Was it necessary to show this ghastly scene, and that too twice?

Arjun already has too many shots of bullets going thru victim's heads, and even those shots, as in the Stolen Ganesha and the Riya shooting episode, were shown in far too gory closeups, and many times. This is unnecessary and undesirable.

But yesterday's horror was far worse, and the saddest of all is that it does not seem to have bothered anyone at all. Remembering Riya is fine and good,but we should also protest against the fate that the CVs have meted out to Havaldar Lokhande, and to us, or at least to me and those who feel as I did.

Agree to ur point on such raw hard core violence shown at prime time...

The episode, by itself was too engrossing and gripping that we ignored that part...

But i am very surprised that u havent heard of such crimes in real life...political murders or crimes done to destroy traces of their own bad deeds are often ghastly like this...revenge or crimes which arise from vengeance also are brutal...

but yeah, as u said, he could have got killed in some other way and not like this...

My heart definitely went out to that honest cop and his family...i had also mentioned that...a good person had to lose his life for such a racket to get caught...the mode of death didnt matter to me at that point...
