Mumbai Cops in trouble?

When the city sleeps, these brave men stay awake to protect it against any danger. But it seems that the Mumbai Police is not in for a good time ahead, as the blasts in the city just like the others, have not proved to be very lucky for them.

The top police officers of the Maharashtra police are to be investigated for their role played in the Mumbai blasts. The Home Minister of the state has announced a probe into the duties of Hasan Gafur; Mumbai police commissioner, AN Roy; Director General of Police and Chitkila Zutshi; the home secretary, during the Mumbai attacks. This kind of an allegation sure is embarrassing for the entire country.

At a time when the security in the financial capital of a country should be of utmost important, the police could help but let the lives of hundreds just go away. Infact, instead of waiting for the National Security Guard (NSG) to arrive that night, the police should have taken action. Their failure to do so, has had many fingers pointed at them.

The blasts have already cost the chief minister of the state his resignation. When the country and its public requires the maximum support, we have one after the other minister resigning and now it seems like the police cop's will be thinking around the same lines.

More than the amount of coverage we have received from the media, we need something to be done by the politicians and officials of the country.
