Former DGP Rathore, found guilty after 19 years

:) "why wasn't he charged of abetment of suicide under IPC?"

Archana ji,

Who file charge sheet? This is india. For concelment of real facts police do several miracles to protect their departmental officers.

 Every question starts with a capital W and every answer with a capital N.

Which police officer in Haryana had the guts to file charge of murder, rape, abatement to suicide against his own DGP? Are we living in a fool's paradise? Saw these roadside politician, read Chautala, shamelessly defending him? 

Will it become another Jessica Lall media case? What is NCW doing? Does Giriji Vyas inspire confidence? 

Media is showing him laughing all the way. Neither the media nor Rathod has any shame left.

 Last night MLA's son fired in a Delhi bar/hotel. There is forensic evidence and eye witnesses but he shameless MLA says no firing. They all get away.

 Channels like Times Now are vigorously following up this case and forcing re-opening. However again re-investigation--again charge sheet--again cases---another 19 years!!

Is it good for legal profession in a way of long term business or shameful that there is collapse of last respected institute-judiciary ?

God bless this nation.

 By crying hoarse, the legal system is not changed. Yes, I agree with Mr. Sathe, years may roll bye but nothing will happen. 

Justice Bilal Kazi, who retired recently, said that right there are incompetent persons manning judiciary right from magistrates to supreme court judges.

Why blame corrupt politicians, police and bureaucracy?
