Vikas Dubey, dead or alive, is a symptom of malignancy in the polity - of criminalisation of politics and democracy being subjugated to the power of money and muscle. The killing of a father son duo in Tamil Nadu in police custody might seem far removed from the death in police custody of a notorious criminal whose men had gunned down eight policemen. But they are interlinked by a common failure of politics and of the police system. Dubey, the symptom, has died, but the disease thrives.
