In 2013 @ShekharGupta writing about #IshratJahan fake encounter, you rationalised custodial killings as “controlled killings”, said it was a "problem" to say “a fake encounter wd always b illegal.” Remember that sir, every time you complain about ISIS etc. indianexpress.com/article/opinio…
Also remember @ShekharGupta you trivialise allegations of rapes by armed forces as "a stereotype of the rough 90s". In 2004, Manorama was gang raped, killed w/ bullets in her genitals by Assam Rifles men, who said they shot her when she "tried to escape" thehindu.com/news/national/…
When you make light of rape-murders by armed forces who then use "encounter script" of "we shot escaping prisoner", you open the door to cops doing the same to pose as avengers of rapes. @ShekharGupta you shd take from feminists advice you're dishing out to others
“Do you have people in [the] army who rape? It is an alleged gangrape in uniform – an aggravated form of crime.” This was what SC observed about Manipur rape cases incl the Manorama case, among 1528 custodial killing cases in 20 years. @ShekharGupta indianexpress.com/article/india/…
