I wonder if I would have been on candle light vigil at India gate for Nirbhaya if I had known that net result of that movement would be a law which mandate 120 days of jail even before trail starts. The number of false cases are also staggering. Karan Oberoi this one and many others are now making me wonder who the victim are ? In the Nirbhaya case too the boy who gave evidence and recognised the criminals he was severely injured and in ICU as well he neither facilitated for sticking to his statement nor appreciated he made enemies. In fact India looks increasing unsafe for urban men. Most of these idiotic laws are made keeping in mind rural areas but there fir are not done by police here in urban areas cops are caught working with gangs who file false fir to extort money. 498a has become an extortion tool so have other laws. There is need to protect the middle class from such false case at the same time ensuing that criminals who actually do this don't escape. Government has to make police free and accountable to the pyblic. False fir cases have to be dealt with heavy hand and made non bailable and jail term made life imprisonment. Also the accused name should be kept away from media till conviction. Fast track court and dedicated crime unit for such crime having a a forensic member should be there in every district or police station. Such officers should be exempt from law and order duties as well as election so that don't get bogged down. Dedicated team of prosecution lawyers selected basis an all India test for representing such cases. and mandatory 100 hours of training in how to behave with public and deal with such cases to be provided to officer dealing with such cases. Judges who deal with such cases should be carefully vetted and given training. Also in the long summer break they should be given training on how to deal with such case. Two fast track courts per district and more if required. Annual review of judges, policemen and lawyers made public and put in public domain. Apart from this a witness protection program for such cases and victim rehabilitation program. For the preparatators of the crime psychology profiling to find out why they did this crime and rehabilitation if doctor feel it can be done post the carrying out of sentence. Physiological profiling should also be done to find out why the crime was done and an 3 year review of such cases should be done by the home Minster/cm dgp and head of prosecution branch be done on cases judged and which are pending. This report is to.be put in public domain and recoded 5 year review of such cases by union home minister centre for police research, dgp, c home Minster of the state with NCRB chief to be done as well. This will ensure that such cases are dealt diligently.
All the above is the need of hour to stop false case and to ensure justice is done.
