"On the 26th January 1950, we are going to enter into a life of contradictions. In politics we will have equality and in social and economic life we will have inequality. In politics we will be recognising the principle of one man one vote and one vote one value. In our social and economic life, we shall by reason of our social and economic structure, continue to deny the principle of one man one value. How long shall we continue to live this life of contradictions? How long shall we continue to deny equality in our social and economic life? If we continue to deny it for long, we will do so only by putting our political democracy in peril. We must remove this contradiction at the earliest possible moment else those who suffer from inequality will blow up the structure of democracy which this Constituent Assembly has so laboriously built up".
Babasaheb Dr.B.R.Ambedkar

Rape and suside of Ruchika case, murder of Aarushi case and murder of Jessica lal case. What Babasaheb Dr.B.R.Ambedkar told while adopting the constitution in the parliament ,the situation is still continues after 63 years of Independence.
Jessica lal case starts from 2006 and continues till date
Sharmas paid key witness Rs 25 lakh in Jessica case
Tehelka Sting Shows How Money, Muscle Changed Testimonies TIMES NEWS NETWORK
Mumbai: There were three key witnesses to the murder of Jessica Lall in April 1999 — aspiring actor Shayan Munshi, electrician Shiv Das, and Karan Rajput, the uncle of a waiter in Tamarind Court where Jessica was allegedly shot by Manu Sharma, the son of a powerful Haryana politician.
Seven years have gone by and no one has been convicted. Here is why — a three-month sting operation by Tehelka has revealed that the three witnesses backed down from giving evidence that could have nailed Manu either because they were paid off by the Sharmas, or because enormous pressure was brought to bear on them.
Here is a sample of what the witnesses or their relatives said in front of a spycam. Shayan Munshi, who pleaded ignorance of Hindi and hence his inability to comprehend his earlier testimony before the police, showed off his prowess in the language in front of the sting team posing as an Indo-British film production team. Shyan said he not only knew Hindi but its various dialects.
Karan Rajput, another witness who backed off at the last minute and refused to identify the accused in the case, died last year. But his nephew, Jitender Raj, who worked in Tamarind Court as a waiter, friend Surinder and landlord Rajbir Singh are there, vouching for the fact that Karan got handsome money, to the tune of Rs 25 lakh, from the Sharmas, Tehelka’s Harinder Baweja told TOI.
The third witness, Shiv Das, who too refused to testify at the last minute, used to work as an electrician at Tamarind Court. He is also there on tape, admitting he was “majboor” as he had no option but to change his version in court.
The tapes are certain to give the Jessica case a new twist. At one level, they tell the story of how the powerful bought their way out of justice. At another level, they provide new ammunition to the new team of officials probing the case that is now before the Delhi High Court after a sessions court acquitted Manu Sharma and eight other accused on February 21, 2006.
After Jessica was gunned down at the crowded Tamarind Cafe for refusing Manu and his friends a drink when the bar had closed, all three had told investigators that Manu fired two shots, one in the air and the other at Jessica’s temple, that night. All three also signed on Manu’s photograph to identify him.
In court, however, they turned hostile, refusing to identify Manu as Jessica’s killer. Additional sessions judge SL Bhayana blamed a shoddy investigation for letting them off — which is possibly true as a subsequent probe has shown that the investigators did botch it up. In any case, it is now certain that they failed to guard their witnesses against allurement and threats.
Karan Rajput ran up bills of nearly Rs 80,000 which were paid off. Rajput was given Rs 25,000 by Jessica’s sister, Sabrina, on compassionate grounds. Rajput ’s nephew, Jitender Raj, friend Surinder and landlord Rajbir Singh are now on tape, admitting that Karan made “about Rs 25 lakh’’ from the Sharmas. “He never worked after the murder,’’ Jitender told Tehelka’s reporters. “Who paid for all the bills?’’ he asked.
Money was paid by cheque, claim trio
Mumbai: All three witnesses to Jessica Lall’s murder — aspiring actor Shayan Munshi, electrician Shiv Das, and Karan Rajput — said they had accompanied Karan to Manu Sharma properties in Delhi (at Okhla), Chandigarh and Manali. Money was also paid through cheque, in the name of one Arjun Rajput, they told the reporters on spycam.
Sabrina Lall, Jessica’s sister, told the reporters that Karan told her he was under “pressure’’ from the Sharmas but would still speak the truth in court. When he finally said he was not even in Delhi the night Jessica was killed, he told Sabrina: “Unhone meri maa ko agwa kiya tha.’’
Interestingly, Shiv Das, who had a monthly pay of Rs 3,000, has now set up his own general provisions store. Tehelka called him up, with the caller identifying herself as Sabrina. “Madam, main bahut majboor hoon, aapse hamdardi hain par aapka madat nahin kar sakta,”
“Pehli statement sach thi,’’ he admitted.
And the special investigation team, now probing the case, may also be working on the same track. A waiter at Tamarind, Madan, has told Tehelka that he was beaten up by the police to “admit’’ Bina Ramani asked him to destroy evidence.

Ruchika case: 2nd witness questions CBI report

Panchkula: The molestation case involving disgraced former top cop SPS Rathore took yet another interesting turn on Wednesday — the 17th death anniversary of Ruchika Girhotra. A second CBI witness leveled serious allegations against the agency, claiming it had filed the closure report ignoring his statements that Ruchika’s brother had been tortured at the behest of the ex-DGP.
The CBI witness, Dr Naresh Mittal, said Ruchika’s brother Ashu Girhotra had been so brutally tortured that he was unable to walk properly. He said he, along with other witnesses, had given similar statements before the probe agency. “But the agency ignored them and recently filed a closure report, favouring Rathore,” he said.
Mittal is the second witness to have raised questions on CBI’s credibility. Another witness, Vijay Dheer, had recently claimed that the CBI was lying, and that it had distorted his statement giving benefit to Rathore.
Mittal, a resident of Sector 6, Panchkula, said those who stood by Ruchika’s family were harassed by Rathore. “Their shops and residential premises were raided by power board officials and heavy fines running into lakhs of rupees slapped on them,” he said.
Many residents had met then Haryana power minister Shamsher Singh Surjewala. The minister had marked an inquiry and finally these excessive bills were withdrawn. During 1992-93, Rathore was director vigilance of Haryana State Electricity Board department. After complaints against him, he was transferred, Mittal claimed.

CBI on weapons’ trail in Aarushi case
Pervez Iqbal Siddiqui TNN
Lucknow: The Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) on Monday traced a metal strip from the drain in Sector 25 of Noida which was sent for forensic examination. Much imp o r t a n c e was being attached to the recovery as it came after Krishna himself reached the spot with joint director (JD) CBI Arun Kumar in car to identify the spot from where the recovery was made. The fact that the search by the CBI was called off after the seizure added to the mystery behind the importance of the metal piece. Though details of this metal piece seized from the drain were not known, eyewitnesses described it as a foot long strip or a rod of metal. Sources in the CBI said that the seized metal strip, if at all used in the crime, could have been used to inflict the injuries found on the head of the two victims.
According to forensic experts, the injuries found on the heads of Aarushi and Hemraj were believed to have been inflicted by a blunt object. The force with which the object had hit the skulls, caused multiple fractures. This, according to forensic experts, suggests that the weapon offered a good grip and this was possible with a long weapon. The sleuths were now waiting for the forensic reports to establish if the metal piece recovered has anything to do with the double murder.
CBI is banking on the detailed report from central forensic science lab (CFSL) Andhra Pradesh regarding the digital camera that Talwars gifted Aarushi the day she was murdered. The interim report, CBI sources said, received on Monday does confirm tampering of the equipment.
Apart from searching the house of Dr Talwar and visiting Duranis, CBI questioned Raj Kumar and Vijay Mandal. Vijay, domestic help of a neighbour of Talwars, is a friend of Krishna and Rajkumar. CBI had learnt that Krishna was spotted talking to Vijay on the day Aarushi was murdered.
UP police botched up probe, says CBI:
In an indictment of Uttar Pradesh police, CBI on Monday said the crime scene of the Noida twin murder was not examined properly despite several vital clues for cracking the mystery being available for many days. “The fact is that the crime scene was not inspected properly,” CBI special director M L Sharma said in Ghaziabad.
