    These are anti social elements. Please book them and send them to jail for destroying natural wealth and dealing in contra banned goods. No body is above law. Criminal must be treated as criminal and not as war hero... These people are disgrace to the community they belong. Instead of doing nation building work, are engaged in anti social activities. Send them to reform homes and rehabilitation centers until their case is heard and judgement is pronounced..
