Sensitivity needed from police Dinesh Rambally - Courtesy TT Parliament THE EDITOR: I was recently contacted by people concerning the grieving family who felt very angry at the treatment meted out to them during the cremation of their family member at Mosquito Creek. This has prompted me to publicly reach out to all law enforcement officers to be both mindful of and respectful to people who are conducting little-understood religious rituals. Social media posts and public outcry suggest that police went to the cremation site with sirens blaring (which was disrespectful enough) and lectured the grieving widow whose husband was being cremated about the need for social distancing. The police even went on to break up a part of the ritual wherein the eldest son of the deceased, who was leading the rites, and the other sons (or people acting in the place of sons) formed a human chain by touching hands. The police apparently objected to the touching, considering it to be a breach of physical distancing.
