If the criminal is about to attack a POLICE OFFICER then sh00t him in his HEAD (as the criminal is having dangerous weapons to inflict harm or take hostage)

If the criminal is about to escape or run away, then sh00t him in his leg and take him to the HOSPITAL.

Doctor, onething is clear. Delhi Police have really tied the bell to the cat. Now road stunts will definitly come down.

Atleast they know that they not only can and will shoot, but also 'miss' their target to kill you!
Younger divers intentionaly performing such action cannot be stopped nor are their guardians caring for them, hence when caught their guardians must be put behind bars.
Police did not fire at the biker and had no intention to harm or kill anyone. They repeatedly asked the bikers to stop doing their stunts. Police fired at the tire and not at the biker. The biker was killed accidentally so the police are not responsible.
On whether police could have used some other ways to stop them. Police was on emergency call and tried its best to persuade bikers and their gangs to stop the stunts but these bikers were drunk and attacked police - which is another offense they committed. Police had to stop them there and then before someone was injured or killed - it could have been a policeman. Police do not go out with rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannon on every call so they had to use whatever was available to them. Firing must have been the last resort.
Police has been warning them for years not to do these stunts and yet they continue to do so because these bikers do not have any respect for law. Many people have been injured and killed because of these stunts. They are safety hazard for other drivers and pedestrians. Their noise at the dead of night, 2 am, is also a big nuisance to the people of locality.
These bike stunts on public road are illegal. Drunk driving is illegal. Attacking police is illegal. Not following police orders is also illegal.

In UAE young local boys are doing the same. Police catch them, confiscate the bike, fine them and sometime for repeated offence confiscate them. But never use firearms on them. Delhi police are doing their duty well but this act of firing on them was very irresponsible.
In fact the entire system of handling transport in Indis is not systematic. Buy a new vehicle and it's registered for 15 years. You can commit any number of offences in 15 year and get away. RTO should renew registration every year and catch the culprits. They will argue that they do not have enough resources for renewal of registration every year. They can sub-contract the renewals to private companies working under their supervision like we have in UAE.

dear freind, i agree these bikers are nuisance, illegal etc. but certainly do not deserved to be killed on the spot. whether policemen was firing on racing mobik tyre or directly is immaterial, in any case it would have lead to death or major accident. they should know that their aim is not worthwhile. this type of non sense is going on since a very long and police could not do anything, becoase they do not have any idea how to control them. they just pocket Rs. 100/- and leave them to create nuisance. there are thousands way to catch them, stop them but that need application of mind and seriousness in implementation of plan, which they do not have. there is no justification for firing at errent bikers else they should start killing each errent biker, car/ auto/ truck drives. police should apologize for blunder they have committed and make plan to cathch and punish such errant bikers, as being done in case of other drivers.
Roads are meant for traveling and not for carrying out stunts. If anyone is so interested in carrying out stunts, he should go and do it on race tracks. Not only you endanger your life, you put other traveller's and passerby's in risk. Even i have seen this happening during late night from Bandra East signal to start of vakola flyover. What action does one see from the law-makers if these young bikers dont understand. The police has done its best to restrain, but when things started to move out of there hands, they had to resort to firing. What if these bikers have met with an accident, Then also the public would have blamed the police for not being able to stop them. I am in full support of the action the police has taken.
these youngsters are obviously not bothered about other's safety and life.if seeing scare and fear on public's face is fun for them, they should be prepared that the same treatment can be given to them and their family members...
I am deeply saddened to read the insensitive comments by so many readers. Unfortunately, while most have them have expressed sorrow for the death of young man, that's were the good part ends.
Yes, the media and public is right in complaining about the menace. But does that mean that go ahead and shoot the young guys. That is incompetent and unprofessional on part of the police. These guys are law breakers, yes. But does all law breakers need to be shot at?? By that same logic, all people who break red signals or who drive on the opposite side of the road are a menace and breaking law and therefore deserve to be shot at!!! Would you accept that logic?
These young guys were surely on the wrong side of the law and should have been caught and punished. Their bikes could have been impounded, their licenses cancelled, they could have been allowed to cool their heels behind bars for a week or a month or whatever the law prescribes. But under no circumstances can shooting at them or their vehicles be defended. It is a wrongful action and the (ir)responsbile policemen should be held accountable for their ghastly actions.
They hav the rights....but they must also have some sense et life is more precious than law n order....maybe some better means n technolgy could be used to stop this menace w/o killing anyone...in developed countries they do use such technologies....n offcource while dealing with such situations medical help must be near.
Yes, Yes, Yes. Delhi Police was 100% right. Shoot him who is doing wrong before he commit an accident and kill one innocent people. Give corporate punishment to parents who are able to birth child but do not know how to raise his child.
