Waving pistol in five-starred hotel of New Delhi

Dear Editor,
Shocking incident of son of a former crime-accused Parliamentarian on 14.10.2018 openly waving pistol in five-starred hotel of New Delhi should be taken as an eye-opener on several aspects. Incident has proved that security-check in five-starred hotels used usually by elite rich and influential people is merely an eye-wash. Licence of hotel where the incident took place, should be immediately suspended as a lesson for other hotels so that rich and privileged may be put at par for security-checks. Total review of arm-licenses in complete country to start Delhi should be done with extra caution taken in providing arm-licence to rich and influential specially coming from political families.
Modi-government at the centre should immediately bring an ordinance much before forthcoming election to some state-assemblies for putting a ban on contesting elections for persons facing criminal charges of heinous nature like murder, kidnapping etc.
Property and bank-balances of accused Ashish Panday should be confiscated in case he does not immediately surrender himself in a media-conference held by Delhi Police where he may be publicly insulted by making sit-downs with his ears stretched by himself, apart from continuing criminal proceedings against him. Lawyer-community should also establish humanity by taking united decision for not defending Ashish Pandey in courts. Such practical and exemplary steps can only tend to prevent such incidents created by hi-fi politicians and their family-members. It is indeed regretting that no lesson has been learnt even after Manu Sharma episode in infamous Jessica Lal murder case.
