I have been involved in a false murder case by a complainant who is influential .
My AB appeal in court was strong, but the AB was rejected by a corrupt judge, and I face imminent arrest. The police, local judges/metropolitan magistrate are under influence of the complainant.
It has come to my knowledge that while in judicial custody, during my interrogation, the police will torture me, and the complainant through the corrupt police will force me to sign on a document which would state I confirm to the crime.
Now, while a signed statement before police is not valid document in court of law. But my fear increases as I come to know that the magistrate may put his signatures on my signed document, stating I gave my statement not only before police but before the magistrate himself.
I have gone thru the entire criminal justice procedure for interrogating an accused in custody, wherein my lawyer would be present during my interrogation, and medical test of the accused is done every 48 hours (to check for signs of torture) etc etc, however, the other party is well prepared and can bypass/manipulate these procedures.
Q1. Now , my question is, is the above possible in India, where a corrupt magistrate would indulge in such a perverted act? Please let me know.
Q2. What can I do to protect myself if the above were to actually happen ?
your suggestions needed urgently.
