Hello all, The incident is really unfortunate. My deepest condolence to the affected family. Folks, though we all are upset because the couple was blind, but I think, the incident taken place was more of a desire of stealing money and jewelry
Blindness may be one aspect, but its not at all the only reason for it. I say this very confidently, because over the years I read few incidents where tenants/home servants attempts crime for robbing purposes, and it really doesn’t matter, either or not you have sight. I think, we come across crime news everyday in the city column of your news paper, in the news at prime times or else. A number of people are daily affected by these kinds of ill desires, and most of the times, they are those, who have sight. So, of course we are sad because the victim were our community people, but it should not be seen as a reason of the whole episode. I wanted to emphasize this, because I’ve heard someone saying on the list that the incident has discouraged him to appreciate the idea of a VI marrying VI. I don’t want to get into debate whether or not a VI should marry VI, but what I say is, that its not at all related to these occasional bad incidents, so denying any such relations should not be based merely on this risk. In fact, stuff like these are getting very common in the world over, so I suggest, let’s not get cynical about it. Please note that I fully understand your statement and the reason of writing this mail is just to cast my personal views rather challenging anyone’s opinion. Hope the members would take this in the same right spirit. Regards, Prateek agarwal. Skype: Prateek_agarwal32 Wanna see inside me?

I think it will be very low. But one precaution which can be taken is to avoid keeping valuables in the house, unless it is required. My father forced me several times to wear a gold ornament , but I always refuse it because of my disability. I think both the property and my life would be at risk if I carry valuables with me.

Even we sometimes misunderstand safety with eyesight. I am sure the couple's sight or blindness had anything to do with the brutal act of tretchery.
