Arrests


I don't think I would be in the minority if I were to say that I was quite skeptical when the first batch of arrests was made in February. Just like most of the ordinary citizens, I felt as if we were witnessing yet another eyewash before things are returned to status-quo. And please correct me if I am wrong, the arrestees probably felt the same way too. They appeared larger than life coming out of the police vans, flashing the "V" sign, walking like the braggarts they are and I am sure they were confident that the courts they created would set them free and they would eventually emerge from the prison as heroes. I would like to believe that it is not the case anymore.

The recent arrestees' don't appear as braggadocios as their earlier counterparts. The erstwhile home minister appeared rather scared and depressed in a picture of him sitting on a chair in the middle of a prison van. Oh! How the mighty have fallen.
