Criminal Charges Against IAS/ IPS Officers to restore Public Confidence

A LETTER TO THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF THE TRIBUNE
To: The Editor-in-Chief, The Tribune
Sir,
In a written reply to Rajya Sabha, Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Prithviraj Chavan said 84 IAS officers and 33 IPS officers are "facing trial on criminal charges in CBI cases as on March 31, 2010".
While much is made of acts of alleged wrong-doing on the part of military personnel with certain sections of the media indulging in witch-hunting and going overboard in reporting them in blazing headlines, we hardly come across any follow-up coverage of cases against other culpable elements of society.
Why it need be so? Are there two different norms set by the media- one for the Armed Forces personnel and another for the remaining citizens of the country- to highlight blameworthiness of individuals?
Warm regards.
Sincerely,
