A Failed Mediation: Report from The Times of India
In what is described as “a scene straight out of a curry western,” in the October 13, 2014 edition of The Times of India, rival gang members met at a gym in South-east Bangalore for a “mediation,” but “soon things started falling apart.” One group drew its weapons, and the other, seriously outnumbered, “suffered serious injuries, while Nakhra was hacked repeatedly till he died on the spot.” The gym owner absconded, “raising suspicion that he set up” the victim for his rivals. A senior police officer opined that “[t]he mediation was just a pretext” providing an opportunity to “strike with precision.”
Apparently the participants failed to follow JAMS or AAA rules for choosing a neutral mediator.
