Finally, after 13 years the hit and run case against Bollywood superstar #SalmanKhan got a verdict. He was convicted of killing a homeless man and sentenced to 5 years in prison. With his unmatched popularity among masses, its normal for people to get upset with the verdict. Yes, he has done a lot to other needy people though his charity organization #BeingHuman, but that does not mean he should be considered for less severe punishment for what he has done in the past.
The law should rule supreme and if anyone is guilty, s/he should be punished based on that, not more not less. Even I am a huge fan of Salman and I do believe he is a man with 'golden heart', but with that said wouldn't it be injustice to deprive the man who was killed to deny fair trail and justice? Isn;t law supposed to treat everyone equal?

Since 'our' government is officially pro-impunity,I guess the wait for us in Nepal is going to be a bit longer to see those people who committed heinous crimes during the Maoist insurgency behind bars. Most of them were 'cleansed' for political reasons, and the voiceless people were denied justice. I hope and am sure the justice will surely come to them.
But as of now all we can do is wait. Wait for the day when the law of this land treats everyone equal and gets people on the wrong side of it behind bars.
