Fabrication of Evidence by Police is being Justified by Legislator

A most shocking statement made by a Kerala Marxist legislator in a TV news report today (please refer to Asianet News Bulletin evening Sept. 11, 2009) was truly shocking and should be brought to the attention of international community including human rights organizations. Answering a question by the news anchor ( Asianet News) Mr P.Jayarajan a CPM legislator has stated that it is a common practice within the Kerala Police System that if the police is a not able to get the evidence or the weapon used for committing murder, the police would go ahead and get a weapon made by a blacksmith and produce it in the court as evidence. This MLA coolly justified this practice saying that this is a common practice adapted for practical convenience of the police-- to get the accused easily convicted and sentenced. The concerned Central Government agency including the Home Minister should take this statement seriously as it is a public statement of the illegal, most cruel and inhuman crime habitually committed by the law enforcement agency. It is the violation of the accused person's right to justice, and it is making mockery of the judicial system. Silent cry of thousands of people so convicted and sentenced on the basis of fabricated evidence need to be heard by all those who are committed to "JUSTICE FOR ALL".

I request the readers to take up this matter and bring it to the notice of the Prime Minister and the President of India.
