JNU Prof Love affair(LEDS)

Sir,
This is with reference to the sordid Love affair of a JNU Professor and his student.
I am appalled at the amount of media attention the story generated.
One was best left alone, much less make it to the top news.

It is obvious that the media's lack of news worthy news is a major culprit in the loss of perspectives.

The police appear to have misused their powers, without due cause to intrude and violate individual privacy.

It was pathetic to see the professor's blackened private life splashed across the TV screens in his underwear.
He was entitled to a better deal than that after years of serving the society. It was after all his personal life .

We had another dose of similar episode in the singer kissing item girl story.
Wither human dignity and privacy?
Have we as a nation lost our priorities? are there not enough issues better worthy of our collective attention?
This story graphically emphasizes our poor judgment and priorities.
Can we put a stop to it somewhere?
