Is extra-judicial moral policing taking over rule of law? 🚨

Описание: From Mad Sandhu in Amritsar to Kanchan Kumari in Bathinda, targeted killings are raising serious questions about Punjab’s safety, digital freedom, and Article 21.

Let’s look beyond the headlines at the real underlying issues: unemployment, drug abuse, and rising intolerance.

To address these vulnerabilities and restore constitutional governance, a comprehensive reform strategy is required:

1. Police & Intelligence Overhaul:
Fully execute the Prakash Singh (2006) guidelines to establish an independent Police Complaints Authority and separate specialized criminal investigation units from routine public order handling.

-Establish specialized Cyber-Threat & Hate Speech Monitoring Cells within the State Intelligence Wing to monitor and intercept online threats before they convert into real-world violence.

2. Legal Counter-Measures Against Vigilantism:
Enact specific anti-lynching and anti-vigilante legislation aligned with the Supreme Court’s directions in Tehseen S. Poonawalla v. Union of India (2018), which mandates fast-track courts, designated special officers, and strict accountability for police personnel failing to prevent vigilante violence.

3. Fostering Social Cohesion and Rehabilitation:
Engage civil society organizations, educators, and local governance bodies to promote constitutional literacy and combat moral policing.

Address systemic youth distress through targeted employment programs, vocational skills development, and comprehensive anti-drug rehabilitation initiatives to reduce the influence of criminal networks.
