We would all like our justice system to operate with full due process. But that it doesn't is shown best by the fact that the term "encounter killing" is unique to India. You don't hear this term in Western countries. Outside India, these are known as #extrajudicialkillings (2/n)
Liberal commentators have denounced the killings of these three gangsters without due process as the complete failure of the law and order system. They are right. But this failure is not new. The first encounter killing in Mumbai happened in 1982 in Wadala.
