Murder in self-defence, and the desperate act of killing to protect one

Murder in self-defence, and the desperate act of killing to protect one’s kin, are not mere fabrications of the silver screen. They are interwoven with the stark realities of life, where the boundaries between right and wrong blur in the heat of survival. I am reminded of Sridhar, a man in his 40s, whose life ended in the cold, unforgiving waters of the Krishna River. His killer, gripped by an overwhelming fear for his family, did not act out of malice. Rather, he was driven by a primal instinct to protect his loved ones from the storm that Sridhar had become—a man consumed by rage, posing a threat too great to ignore. In this story, the chilling truth becomes apparent: reality often surpasses the imagination, weaving narratives that defy resolution and linger in the mind with a haunting sense of incompleteness.
