if IB has given a input and police nabbed them then police should investigate further and find enough evidence which will stand in the court.there is no need to release them. it's true that confession under custody is not a evidence but confession can lead to many other evidences, culprits, which can be the evidence besides all the material and gadget based evidence as well as lead to evidence.The intelligence input convinced them of the threat posed. I'm sure they would have reacted differently if the intelligence input was lighter. Your interrogation means nothing in a court of law. Police confessions are inadmissible & there are plenty of lawyers who work with "NGO's" who will take care of that.
Your are now arguing for the sake of it. People are always someone's friends, sons, daughters etc. The Boston bombers didn't lack for either friends or family. If the evidence suggested a definite risk & the top intelligence agency was offering a definite assessment, if you capture & get further information confirming your suspicions, what do you want them to do? Let them walk away? Your argument that threat is contained won't do. You would have to release them & another lot will be emboldened by such soft glove treatment & try again. After all, risk is low since all the police will do is stop you & release you, right? No one argues that this is ideal but do you seriously believe that next time on the loc, the army must not shoot to kill but offer just some rest in an Indian prison? You can well open the floodgates then. If you are convinced that you are dealing with terrorists, you have to make an example of them. You & I do not have the evidence in our hands, I believe we must not necessarily belittle(Disagree if you want but not belittle) the actions of men who stand between us & the terrorists and in whose hands evidence exists.
agree every body is somebodys friend or family..since you didn't answer my question lets detach the emotional part and assume that they are just four or five young men who got killed this way while being innocent, they were not on international border or sea line but no normal territory. should we allow that to happen in the name of practicality ?? I think it's unnecessary, at least until and unless there is a huge terrorist activity inside the country like Pakistan is experiencing..even then I am not sure if it's justifiable.
I am talking About a police action inside normal areas where people live in, not about border which is a different territory and there should be different rules of engagement. I am not sure about it may be @Indian Army can explain the rules of engagement.. and what army or bsf do, but I guess even they don't shoot to kill when it's not necessary.by doing so police is going against the fundamental principle of our justice system..even if thousand criminals escape not even a single innocent should be punished.what is the role of court if police kill every suspect against whom they have no evidence and bring every suspect in front of the court against whom solid evidence is there..courts will have 100% record in punished cases, police will have 100% success record in call cases, either by killing or by conviction in court.
I don't agree with you that custodial killings or extra judicial are a necessity in India.there is a risk of innocents getting trapped and killed.
