What a failure to state govt
Neither they cud save, not they cud get justice
Chapter 4 : The shoddy investigation
So all accused of Jaipur bombing r free now but more shameful is comment made by judgement on Police n ATS.
Sensational part of thread starts here
Judge said, I m emotional but I have to go by law n release them coz investigation agency
Left so many loopholes that accused took benefit of it and saved themselves
High court said that ATS didn't carry out investigation seriously
Prosecution also didn't fight case seriously
Police left so many loopholes in investigations
Jaipur is back to 15 years ago
ATS made 13 accused
But today all r free
State govt is saying that they will challenge it in Supreme Court but truth is neither Govt cud save Jaipur from blast not cud deliver them justice
No media will tell u this news
