KP Singh, the Director General of Police, Haryana, has said that the common man, when threatened, has the right to take law into his own hands and dole out justice, by taking the offender’s life.

If someone insults a woman or tries to kill a person, then the law empowers a common man to kill that person. This is not just the powers vested in the police, if someone is insulting any mother and sister, if somebody tries to immolate a house or shop, or if someone tries to kill a person in front of you, then a common man has been empowered by the law to kill that person. A common man should understand his responsibilities. The police are responsible but people should also understand.
