For the second time this week, the Capital witnessed the wedding of a gangster, as Yogesh Tunda tied the knot with his long-time partner at the Arya Samaj Mandir in Vikaspuri on Friday. This event comes just two days after the marriage of two notorious gangsters — Kala Jathedi aka Sandeep Jhanjhariya and Anuradha Choudhary aka Madam Minz — in Dwarka.
Despite the similarities in heavy police security surrounding both events, there are distinct differences between the two. While the union of Kala Jathedi and Anuradha Choudhary grabbed headlines due to the audacity of their coupling, Yogesh Tunda’s wedding, though still concerning, may not have garnered the same level of attention.
However, the recurring occurrence of gangster weddings in the Capital is deeply troubling. It highlights the influence and power wielded by individuals involved in criminal activities and raises questions about the extent to which they can flout the law with impunity.
The glamorization of such events sends a dangerous message to society, particularly impressionable youth, who may be tempted by the allure of a lifestyle filled with violence and crime. It normalizes behavior that should be unequivocally condemned and underscores the urgent need for greater vigilance and accountability within law enforcement agencies.
While ensuring the safety and security of all individuals involved in such events is paramount, addressing the root causes that contribute to the proliferation of gangster culture is equally crucial. This includes tackling issues such as poverty, lack of education, and social exclusion, which often drive individuals towards a life of crime.
As the Capital grapples with another gangster wedding, it is imperative that authorities take decisive action to dismantle criminal networks and prevent the glorification of criminal activities. Only by addressing these underlying issues and promoting a culture of lawfulness and respect for the rule of law can we hope to create a safer and more secure society for all.
