I was okay too with the gau hatya track... as it did symbolize something different , villagers getting upset still living in a traditional mould... was all okay though I am not a fan of this track... but it was the arrest that made that whole thing go bad!!!
When the affected has not filed an FIR, when the affected has accepted prayaschit and compensation... when the killing did not happen to cause any caste riots then a international call with a ministers threat and a arrest - that was diff to digest!!! It was too silly especially when in the last 6 months the number of rapists and murderers who have escaped arrest is a few too many!!!!
Where the police have been so negligent to even register a FIR... you think they would care who called and would get off their butts to arrest someone for a gau hatya?
