CULPRIT OR VICTIM; YOU DECIDE......

Never make the cardinal mistake of pushing a patient and forgiving woman beyond a point as she may just end up donning Chandi Mata's role and cause you untold harm........
This precise scenario unfolded in Hubbali's Vijayapura locality when the largely peaceful and serene atmosphere that had prevailed in this locality for decades was shattered for eternity when a perennially wronged and abused woman ended up ending the years of torture and humiliation inflicted upon her by ending her tormentor's life on a fateful Thursday night........
 According to long standing neighbours; the now deceased 54 year old Sitaram Badiger who was a chronic alcoholic who did not mend his ways despite two lengthy stints in government run rehabilitation centres got particularly abusive and beat his long suffering and constantly battered wife a mite too savagely for her liking........
Though the stoic and stately woman had borne these daily physical assaults and beatings for the last 29 and a bit years matters came to a head on the afore mentioned Thursday night when she decided to put a full stop to the atrocities meted out to her by firstly bludgeoning her alcoholic husband's head with a voltage stabiliser and then pumping two bullets into his shattered skull from point blank range with his very own licensed revolver.....
 She then proceeded to the local police station at around 11:30 pm or so surrendered voluntarily handed over the murder weapon (revolver) to a stunned and believing sub-inspector (who was the senior most police officer on duty at the time) and subsequently proceeded to record her confessional statement in which she clearly enumerated the multiple reasons that forced her to take recourse to this extreme measure.......
 A case was booked against her under section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code and she was duly produced before a judicial magistrate who remanded her to fourteen days of judicial custody with effect from Friday morning onwards........
While I for one staunchly believe that no human being has the right to ignonimously and cold bloodedly snuff out a fellow human beings life; I am more than certainly willing to make an exception in this case as the wife was the victim and not the perpetrator and hence deserves all the due mercy and forgiveness that the judge who ultimately decides her quantum of sentence is able to muster up in view of the mitigating circumstances preceding this murderous instance.........
