Shootout at BEST: Rahul Raj or Mumbai police raj?

After a long leave of 25 days, I was not expecting such the news on the very first day. I returned home this evening from office only to have a glance on the TV channels when I saw a news that one Rahul Raj was shot dead by brave Mumbai police.
A bit disturbed I could not stop myself writing here since there is something wrong which I personally feel is committed by Mumbai police. How come they are so unprofessional? They just killed someone who did not deserve anywhere such a severe punishment.
First it was Mr. Raj Thackery who is dead locked on how to divide this nation on language. Then I thought maybe one day he will be brought to the justice for the killing of those innocent people and sabotaging the property. Bihar is still burning. Rahul Raj thought to punish Raj Thakerey by himself. May be he would have been successful.
But then who let us to take law in our hands? No doubt this Rahul raj seems here for this politician, may be to kill him. Fine; but you might have seen very well he had just a country made pistol with whom he was going to take on Raj Thackrey???
To tell you killing Rahul Raj was like killing a sitting duck. He was not a criminal now was a terrorist. He could have killed at least 2 people had he wished to. Two because a country made pistol (Tamanchha, katta) can fire only two rounds. He does not seem trained either to counter the Mumbai police. He was wide open in the bus not looking for any shelter for any possible fire. He was convinced that he will not be fired at because he himself knew that he had not such a sophisticated arm which could have forced police to kill him. Shouting for any phones as he seemed offering for any kind of talk.He has not any criminal record. He did not put someone hostage.
And Mumbai police killed him. They did not show the dead body of Rahul but I am sure they would have shoot him right on the head at a hand distance. Even anybody could have killed him because he was so easy to shoot at. They could have catch him live without firing a single bullet. After all any metro police is trained to such extend that they can handle any ordinary eventuality like this with minimum possible usage of firearms. home minister of Maharatra responding by “Bullet for Bullet!” what a shame?? Is not Mr. RR Patil supporting raj Thakrey indirectly?
Sorry but Mumbai Police needs to answer this question. Why did you kill him where you could have catch him easily?
