What will you do, if you see a murder being committed on the road? If you reply to it honestly, a majority of you will say they will turn their eyes the other way and some may reply they will carry the victim to a nearby hospital (of course, after the killers had gone away).
However, the first answer appeared more appropriate late last night when in Channi Himmat a teenager was being assaulted by a group of four and the hue and cry raised by the victim had forced the residents to look through their windows… but none dared to come out and intervene.

Highly profile and power reflective prefixes and titles added before names make every one happy. For example “Honourable Minister for Health and Medical Education Pandit Mangat Ram Sharma” in any case sounds better than simple “Pandit Mangat Ram Sharma.
