Pls don’t say silly stuff like “people have lost faith in judiciary” to endorse the fake encounter in Hyderabad.

The judiciary decides based on whatever evidence police presents in front of it.

And that happens after a case even reaches the courts.

The police don’t file chargesheets on time. Heck, they don’t even register FIRs when rape survivors approach them.

The sister of the Hyd victim was made to run around by the same police force when she approached them to file a missing complaint.

The same cops intimidate rape survivors. They humiliate survivors to the point that they’re scared to even file a complaint.

They botch up investigations when the rapist is a powerful person. They go out of their way to protect such powerful criminals.

The judiciary CANNOT convict if the police take weak evidence to the courts or botch up cases. Courts run on facts and not emotions.

Prosecutors then don’t show up in courts.

They keep taking adjournments.

When police don’t file chargesheets within 90 days, the rapist automatically gets bail. Then the rapists get out & threaten the survivors (or even kill them).

The police offer ZERO protection to survivors even when the rapist is an influential/powerful man.

Yes the judicial system is slow & that needs to improve.

But NO - rapists roaming free is NOT the judiciary’s fault. Rapists not even being brought to court is not the judiciary’s fault.

Police presenting weak evidence is NOT the judiciary’s failure.

Sengar & Chinmayanand are not roaming freely because of the judiciary.

That happens bcoz the govt. & police are protecting them.

The actual rapists in Hyderabad will never get punished by courts because the case is now closed.

We’ll never know who actually did it.

The police has ZERO sensitivity towards rape survivors. They also say “yes sir” when asked to protect powerful rapists & to frame people in their place.

Yesterday’s fake encounter was a cover-up. For all u know, the real perpetrators are roaming free.

Yes judiciary needs to improve its speed.

But a low conviction rate is not the judiciary’s fault. Cases not coming to courts is not the judiciary’s fault. Bad evidence is not the judiciary’s fault

That blame ALL squarely falls on police & govt who shield rapists.

(9/10)
That women walking on the streets are unsafe today is not the fault of the judiciary.

That laws are not enforced is not because of the judiciary.

With ALL it’s faults, the judiciary cannot take all the blame when the police force is rotten & incompetent.
