This refers to the report, “HC awards Rs 1 cr to five implicated in false murder case” (September 24). The Punjab and Haryana High Court has rightly ordered the release of five persons who were sentenced to life imprisonment after the Punjab Police falsely implicated them. Mr Nachhatar Singh and four others were jailed for over five years in a murder case of a man who is still alive.
The court’s verdict against the misdeeds of men in khaki should serve as a warning to all law enforcing agencies in the country. It is because of the corrupt practices of certain police personnel that real criminals escape. It is the need of the hour that those violating the law and subverting the criminal justice system through meticulous falsehood are severely punished.
