Night of shame continues…..

At the end of it all, this story is first a tribute to brave Nirbhaya, whose promising life was cut short in a barbaric manner. We do not know to what extent we have succeeded in getting her justice. Perhaps history will give the final verdict in this matter several decades down the line.

Equally, this story is a salutation to Head Constable Subhash Tomar, who lost his life in the line of duty at the hands of unruly elements at India Gate on the evening of 23 December 2012. Last but not the least, no amount of words can ever express my appreciation and gratitude for the officers of the Delhi Police, who stood by me in those trying times and delivered what was expected of them brilliantly.

As I now reflect on the case and the testing aftermath I faced, I am reminded of the words of the American author and publisher Orison Swett Marden.

The Success magazine founder Orison Swett Marden said: ‘Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.’

Indeed, his words have held true for me throughout my policing career, as they did in this case.
