Questionable Developments in Jailbreak Investigations
February 9, 2004 | Comments Off on Questionable Developments in Jailbreak Investigations
The recent news on the Jan. 22 Burail jailbreak and the police investigations raises even more questions:
- The main police officer, Charan Singh, whose testimony implicated senior police officers in the jailbreak, mysteriously died of a heart attack in police detention. Now, his testimony cannot be used in court.
- The police have closed the jail and all of its inmates to visitors, following the death of Charan Singh.
- The police have recovered a pistol, allegedly based on a statement made by the accused mastermind Narain Singh, and have charged him under the Arms Act.
- The police have effectively given up on finding the escapees, withdrawing nine policemen from the case.
