Justice Gautam Patel of the Bombay High Court criticized popular Indian films like 'Singham' that glorify 'hero cops' taking law into their own hands, calling it a dangerous message that undermines due process. Speaking at an event for Police Reforms Day, he said the cinematic image of police officers dispensing quick justice encourages the public's impatience with legal procedures. Justice Patel argued that while such shortcut 'justice' is celebrated in movies, it actually subverts the rule of law. He emphasized that individual liberty should not be sacrificed for speed, underscoring the need for broader reforms beyond just policing. (Image Courtesy: Ajay Devgan on X)
