What are the ethical dilemmas being faced by Rohit?

UPSC CSE 2024 (Prelims) CSAT Previous Year Paper (16-Jun-2024)

Rohit faces a severe ethical tightrope walk. His primary duty as an SP is to uphold the law and ensure justice, especially with two high-value naxalites involved in attacks on security forces. This deontological duty conflicts directly with the utilitarian concern for public safety and the prevention of bloodshed, as resorting to force against agitated tribal women could lead to loss of innocent lives and further complicate the situation. There's also the dilemma between enforcing the rule of law and respecting the complex sentiments of a local community that views these insurgents as "protectors". Furthermore, he has a moral responsibility to protect the lives of the tribal women while fulfilling his professional obligations.
