Human Rights activists normally intervene in these types of instances and whenever law enforcing Agencies try to curb crimes which are heinous.
If these Agencies do not resort to strict measures, the very fabric of society will be torn.
If the law enforcing agencies do not check crime, then people accuse them of soft approach and dereliction of Duty.
You can not ask the law enforcing agencies to work with both hands and feet tied.
Normal precautions are taken for normal individuals.
People as these are not Human beings and are to be treated as such.
At times like these, Islamic law, though looks barbarous, is the Best.

Under German law, serious sex offenders can volunteer for the operation as part of their treatment.
The Strasbourg Council of Europe‘s anti-torture committee said the procedure was rare in Germany, with fewer than five cases a year over the past decade.
But surgical castration was mutilating and irreversible and there was no evidence it prevented men from committing new sex crimes, the committee said in a report on Germany.
“Surgical castration of detained sexual offenders could easily be considered as amounting to degrading treatment,” said the report.
“Therefore, the Committee recommends that immediate steps be taken by the relevant authorities to discontinue in all German Laender (federal states) the application of surgical castration in the context of treatment of sexual offenders,” it added.
The German government said in an official response to the report that the practice was under review but it believed there were medical grounds for continuing to offer the operation.
Under German regulations, a sex offender can be castrated if he ask for the procedure, is older than 25 and gets the approval of a panel of experts.
Spate of bank and Jewel Robberies have been on in Tamil Nadu. What is common in these cases is that these robberies took place in day light, excepting in the Jewellers at Thiruppur where robbers decamped with thirty-eight kilos of Gold by drilling a hole in the ventilator and where the CCTVs were either not installed or switched off. In the case of one bank in Chennai,no CCTV was installed and in another the process for buying one system was in progress. In the jeweller’s shop the CCTV is switched off in the night(these guys need their head examined)
It seems the Robbers had inside information about the banks and in the case of the Jewellers might have the information from the Security on them being switched off in the night.
It is also possible the Vendor of the CCTV might have leaked information on the orders pending.
Police might look into this angle as well.
“Did the men who pulled off Monday’s bank heist at Keelkattalai use fake guns to scare staff and customers? Investigators say the robber who opened fire at the bank could have used a replica pistol, because no bullet was recovered from the spot and it caused minimal damage .
Police officers suspect that the same gang was responsible for the January 23 bank robbery at the Perungudi branch of the Bank Of Baroda, from which they looted Rs 19 lakh. Investigators probing that case said the robbers could have used fake firearms in that incident too.
With high quality replica firearms and air pistols easily available in the city, no one will know for certain unless the the culprits are caught. Some fake pistols sold in toy shops are such good copies that even an expert would not be able to differentiate one from real firearm unless he holds it in his hand, an investigator said. Unlike regular handguns, fake weapons leave no evidence, making it harder for police to collect clues.
In the robbery on Monday, five men walked into the Keelkattalai branch of the Indian Overseas Bank and looted Rs 14 lakh at gunpoint. “At least one of the robbers used a toy gun or an air pistol. The dome of a light bulb that he fired at did not shatter but was only damaged,” an investigating officer said. If people in the bank had realised that it was a toy gun, he said, they could have overpowered the criminals. ”
“The daring robbery at an Indian Overseas Bank(IOB) branch in Keelkattalai on Monday was committed by the same gang that made away with Rs 19 lakh from a bank branch in Perungudi on January 23, investigation officers have confirmed. A sum of Rs 14 lakh was taken away in the latest incident after the staff and customers were herded into the strongroom at gunpoint.
Based on the information provided by officials and customers at the IOB branch, crime records bureau officials have generated sketches of the suspects. “They match to a large extent with the portraits of the suspects in the Perungudi heist,” joint commissioner of police (south zone) K P Shanmuga Rajeswaran said. ”
There has been strikes, Bandhs galore in Tamil Nadu on the issue of power supply in the State.
There has been a power shortage for some time now and the power cut for an hour in Chennai and 8 hours in other cities.
This has resulted in reduced industrial output forcing many industries especially in Tiruppur where major Hosiery Units are located.
Exports are affected and lay off’ threatens workers.
The Government is trying its best to supply power;but the demand exceeding available supply, further allotment from the Central pool not coming through and the agitation against commissioning of the Nuclear Power Plant in Kudankulam the Government is in a bind.

“78 lakh families hurt by power cut”; “Government departments, local bodies owe huge dues to TANGEDCO”
Around 4,000 industrialists, entrepreneurs and workers from micro, small and medium enterprises staged a protest near the TANGEDCO (Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation) office at Kappalur on the Madurai-Tirumangalam highway on Tuesday, demanding that uninterrupted power supply must be ensured and the spate of unscheduled power cuts must be put to an end.
Spearheaded by Kappalur Industrial Estate Manufacturers’ Association, whose members downed their unit shutters for the day, several major trade and bodies from Madurai and the southern districts took part in the agitation. Besides raising slogans that the operations at small units were severely affected by the power cuts, the agitators questioned the rationale behind uninterrupted power supply being provided to multinational corporations and giving special treatment to Chennai which faced only an hour of load shedding every day while the rest of the State reeled from eight to ten hours of power cuts.
“The city and its suburbs are likely to witness a power cut of three hours everyday. A proposal in this regard was submitted by the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (TANGEDCO) to the State government authorities late on Monday. According to sources, a two-hour power cut in Chennai will be imposed between 8 am and 6 pm. Another hour of power cut will be imposed between 10 pm and 6 am bringing the total duration of power cuts to three hours from the present one hour in the State capital. ”
They are in late prototype stages of wearable glasses that look similar to thick-rimmed glasses that “normal people” wear. However, these provide a display with a heads up computer interface. There are a few buttons on the arms of the glasses, but otherwise, they could be mistaken for normal glasses. Additionally, we are not sure of the technology being employed here, but it is likely a transparent LCD or AMOLED display such as the one demonstrated below:
In addition, we have heard that this device is not an “Android peripheral” as the NYT stated. According to our source, it communicates directly with the Cloud over IP. Although, the “Google Goggles” could use a phone’s Internet connection, through Wi-Fi or a low power Bluetooth 4.0.
The use-case is augmented reality that would tie into Google’s location services. A user can walk around with information popping up and into display -Terminator-style- based on preferences, location and Google’s information.
Therefore, these things likely connect to the Internet and have GPS. They also likely run a version of Android.
Our tipster has now seen a prototype and said it looks something like Oakley Thumps (below). These glasses, we heard, have a front-facing camera used to gather information and could aid in augmented reality apps. It will also take pictures. The spied prototype has a flash —perhaps for help at night, or maybe it is just a way to take better photos. The camera is extremely small and likely only a few megapixels.
American and Chinese scientists are flabbergasted after discovering a giant 298-million-year-old forest buried intact under a coal mine near Wuda, in Inner Mongolia, China.
They are calling it the Pompeii of the Permian period because, like the ancient Roman city, it was covered and preserved by volcanic ash.
Like Pompeii, this swamp forest is so perfectly maintained that scientists know where every plant originally was. This has allowed them to map it and to create the images above. This extraordinary finding “is like Pompeii”, according to University of Pennsylvania paleobotanist Hermann Pfefferkorn, who characterized it as “a time capsule.”
It’s marvelously preserved. We can stand there and find a branch with the leaves attached, and then we find the next branch and the next branch and the next branch. And then we find the stump from the same tree. That’s really exciting.
They are in fact finding entire trees and plants exactly as they were at the time of the volcanic eruption, just like archeologists in Pompeii found humans, animals and buildings at the base of Mount Vesuvius, near Naples, in the Italian region of Campania. Except Pompeei was buried in AD 79 and this forest was covered in ash 298 million years ago, during the Permian period.
