An apartment association in Bengaluru has hit the headlines—it pioneered the idea of an in-house criminal justice system. With help from its security staff, it identified, tried, and penalised residents guilty of drug abuse and sexual assault.
They are now under the police scanner, but you wonder what our champions of privatisation, always critical of the slowness of public institutions, may have to say about it.
The less market-savvy folks are heaving a sigh of relief that this profitable system got busted before the association launched a quick-commerce style publicity blitz—Crime just got more affordable. No-hassles settlement at your doorstep. In 10 minutes or less!
