Listen Baby

Some amount of money is being deducted from salary and paid as Income Tax. Whenever one buys something or service, an amount is being set aside as Service Tax, Sale Tax, Excise duty etc. Time tested system is old one, look from the dawn of world history, and is contentiously evolving. Also there are Property Tax, Estate Duty, Inheritance Duty, Entrance Tax etc. Pool of Money collected this way is being spent to deliver goods and Services collectively to the societies and individuals at normal times and emergencies. The jobs are being done by servants of the states, NGOs, licensed private parties etc.

One such agency is Police department. Servants of states in these institutions are arguably fully trained and programmed to face crooks, robbers, terrorist, mobs etc. What was then Rizwanur Rehman, a humbly employed young graphic artist, now a dead man, was doing at Lal Bazaar the Police Headquarter of Calcutta/Kolkata? He, so far an unblemished character, was ‘invited’ for a ‘talk’ with uniformed Police Officers, whose salaries are being paid from Tax money perhaps Rizwanur also paid. Published news so far is that the point of discussion was ‘abduction’ of Pryanka daughter of very rich man/friend of Big Shots. Pryanka and Rizwanur both adults, somewhat educated, believer in state and its institutions, had valid Marriage certificate. Rizwanur, a dead body found in unnatural circumstances, is buried by family, after inconclusive autopsy, naturally.

Moral: Service of Servant Officers of the States can be over-bought by rich mans cut money.
