Why do so many cases of police are broken

Five years after fatal religious ribs surrounded Indian capital, there is no legal closure for people involved.

An analysis of the BBC does not detect more than 80% of cases relating to violence in which courts give decisions resulting in withdrawals or withdrawals.

More than 50 people, are mostly muslimsslaughtered after blasts fell between Hindus and Muslims with a controversial law of citizenship on February 2020. The violence – the SHOULD SEE IN SUBO In decades – spread over many days, with hundreds of houses and shops burned by violent mobs.

The BBC was reported first Incidents of police cruelty and complexity of riots. The police denied any wrongdoing and their investigation, which violence “was planned” as part of a larger conspiracy “threatened the unity of India” in the people who protested against the law.

They have registered 758 investigation-related cases and arrested more than 2,000 people. This includes 18 students and student activists arrested in a case known as “primary conspiracy case”. They are accused under a draconian anti-terror law that makes it almost impossible to get bail. Only six of them were released for five years, and some like activists Umar Khalid It’s still in jail, waiting for the start of the test.

The BBC is not the condition of all cases of 758 filed related to riots and evaluated 126 cases where Delhi’s kardardoma is giving decisions.

More than 80% of these 126 cases result in dismissal or discharge as witnesses that are disturbed, or not supported the prosecution case. Only 20 in these cases sees convictions.

Under the law of India, a defendant was dismissed by a court closing a case without a test because there was no adequate evidence to continue. A revocation is what the court found the defendants not guilty after the perfect test.

In 62 of the 758 cases that were filed on charges related to Murder, there was only one conviction and four acquittals, data accessed by the BBC through India’s right to information law shows.

A detailed analysis of 126 orders also appeared that in many cases, the court came down to most of Delhi police for investigations. In some cases, it criticizes police for filing “Prepared Moilitian Laughs” that “falsely mean” the defendant.

In most 126 cases, police officers are presented as witnesses of events. But for various reasons, the court did not find their testimonies.

Judges taught the compassionate police statements, delay the identifiers of the police and, some time, the doubts were choked if The police even when the violence was broken.

In two orders, the judge said he would not “prevent” himself from seeing the history of the turmoil “suffering the cents of investigation” “suffer the centuries of the democracy”. The court is cases of listening filed against three men in arson and steal cases – but they ended up with no “real or effective investigation”.

Delhi police did not respond to the BBC request for comment. In a report filed in April, police told the court that all tests were made in a “reliable, fairly and impartial” way.

Testimonies from some defendants and even own court observations, however, produces questions about investigation.

Shadab knew, spending 80 days in jail, saying that he could not forget the horror of riots.

He was able to protect the terrace on the roof of the drug where he worked some more.

How many hours ago, the police arrived at the shop and asked them to close it because of the ongoing arson.

“Suddenly, they (the police) came again and took some of us in their van,” he told the BBC.

As he asked the police why he was taken away, he said, they told him involved in chaos.

“They asked us for our names and beat us. Almost all of us arrested were Muslims,” ​​Mr. Know said. He added that he submitted his medical report to court court confirmed by three injuries.

In its official report, police reported Mr. Knaw and 10 more Muslims burning in a store. But the court released them all even before the test begins.

In its observations, the court criticized the police investigation that the witness statements could be “artificially ready”, and that “all the potentials burned in a” mob from the Hindu community “.

It says police do not pursue the case in that direction, even when the incident occurred.

Mr must wait for four years for the case to be officially closed.

“It happened during the Covid-19 pandemic. There was a lock. We were in a frenzy situation,” as the Dilshad Ali, father nor know.

“Finally, nothing has been proven. But we have to spend more time and money to prove our innocence.”

He said the family wants to pay money for their losses. “If the police did a false case against my son, then action should be done against them,” he added.

In another case, the court released Sandip Bhati, who was accused of dragging and striking a Muslim man during the riots.

Police have submitted two videos to show Mr. Bhatidi is guilty. But in court, his lawyer said the police submitted the incomplete clip to minimize his client.

In full video, BBC confirmed, Mr. Bhati saw that the rescue of a Muslim man instead of striking him.

In its order, the court ordered the police “manipulate” the “frame” “frame” Mr Bhatidi instead of following the “real criminals”.

It also demands the Commissioner of Delhi Police to make appropriate action against the investigating officer in the case. The police did not respond to BBC’s question not when it was done.

Mr. Bhati, spent four months in prison, refused to comment, saying he did not want to discuss his “hardship”.

In many recurrences, former Supreme Court Madan Lukur said, prosecution and police “should sit in the introspect of five years”.

He also said that “accountability should be fixed by the prosecution as well as if the arrest was found illegal or unnecessary”.

“If the prosecution places a person in jail because they have the power to do this or because they want to do it, they don’t have to be allowed to be avoided if it doesn’t have to be illegal or unnecessary,” he added.

Even though some cases fall into the courts, many of the arrests have never been discouraged in prison waiting for a test.

Gulfisha Fatima, a 33-year-old PhD Aspirant, a 12 activist still in jail in cases “conspire” in riots.

His family said three other cases of police were set up against him and he had a bail at all. But he continues to deal with the fourth case under unlawful activity (avoidance) Act (UAPA) – the strict anti-terrorism law which sets the challenging conditions for bail.

“Because he went to the prison, every hearing we hope he will come out,” his father Tasneef Hussain told BBC.

In the case of Ms Fatima, after the months of listening bail in bail, the judge from Delhi’s high court moved by 2023, and now the whole case is heard again.

“Sometimes I wonder if I see him or if I die before that,” Mr Hassain said.
