With multipronged Centre-State strategy, the naxalite problem is largely resolved, but persists in pockets due to foreign involvement. Rohit, SP (Special Operations) for a year in an affected district, has overseen developmental works winning hearts and minds and built an excellent real-time intelligence network; cordon-and-search operations instill public confidence and moral ascendancy. Leading a contingent, Rohit gets intelligence: about ten hardcore armed naxalites hiding in a village; he cordons it and his team overpowers all naxalites with automatic weapons. Meanwhile 500+ tribal women surround the village, marching aggressively on the target house, demanding immediate release of the insurgents as their protectors and saviours. Rohit cannot reach his superior (IG Special Operations) due to poor connectivity. Two apprehended naxalites are hardcore top insurgents (Rs. 10 lakh prize, involved in a recent ambush on security forces); not releasing them risks the women charging, forcing firing with civilian casualties and complications. (a) What options does Rohit have? (b) What ethical dilemmas does he face? (c) Which option is most appropriate and why? (d) What extra precautions should police take in dealing with women protesters?
