Elite Crime

Newspaper Review by: Mina    


This is with reference to the power thefts rampantly and shamelessly carried out by the cities rich. As the common man reels
under the daily burden of living, life goes unfettered for some blessed few. It is abhorable to think of affluent people who actually live like parasites. Pilfering for luxury is an unforgivable act of insolence. The offenders have been aptly subjected to public ridicule and spite, apart from the legal and financial implication by bringing their name to the forefront. The presence of such offenders is not uncommon. The real evil percolates when we as public accept the presence of reprobates as a part of life. Crime and corruption has penetrated every aspect and we tend to become desensitized to it. Much evil stems from scarcity but even more from greed. For the moneyed and influential it’s all about a striking a good bargain. Get extra luxury by resorting to petty pilfering activities like power thefts for 8 Ac’s at home. The white or black money and influence is always there to bail out of sticky situations once in a while. It’s easy to keep one's money in safe deposit while plunging hands into others pockets. Whilst reports of Delhi being the richest city, in India, with people ready to splurge money on goodies rave the front pages of newspaper. It can be called a city of millionaires without soul.
