It's not wise to stand before
a raging storm

1:39:09

Even you know, no matter how
fierce a riot...

1:39:12

it is never beyond police control.
It can be suppressed

1:39:25

How many lives could have been saved

1:39:29

I could have quickly brought
the situation under control Tej

1:39:31

Right, Dev

1:39:37

And you did what I would
have done under the circumstances

1:39:44

Thank you

1:39:47

That is not the answer to my question

1:39:51

Joint Commissioner Dev Pratap Singh...

1:39:54

when you were told not to
do anything, why did you order fire?

1:40:02

Sir, the situation was
deteriorating rapidly

1:40:05

Lives and property were being harmed.
Things were going out of control

1:40:12

In the situation, sir,
using the powers...

1:40:15

given to me by the law
I did what I thought was right

1:40:19

Due to these Powers, there are
15 Hindus dead and only 3 Muslims

1:40:27

Do you realise the political
implications of these figures?

1:40:34

To look at people breaking them up
into factions...

1:40:37

I consider against my duty

1:40:44

The action Joint
Commissioner Dev took, sir...

1:40:47

assessing the situation on the spot
is not against the law
