Sir — Developments over the last week relating to celebrities and politicians have a message for the people: If you are in the privileged class, there is always a way to keep at bay the long arm of the law. Salman Khan’s jail sentence was followed by a bail order within two hours and a longer bail from the High Court within 48 hours. Ms J Jayalalithaa was acquitted by a High Court after the lower court had held her guilty of corruption, because of which she had to quit as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
