ANAMIKA VERDICT

SUPREME COURT's acuittal of Anamika Rapists for Lack of evidence, is few months from pardoning the Bilkis Bano Rapists. Both judgements consecutively cite lack of evidence, both judgements tear wide gaping holes in Judical process & Policing. Do we point fingers at Judiciary and invite Contempt or do we identify the lower rung of Constable Case building as rusted. The Nation is aghast at the verdict. In between the Bano and Anamika vedict was the Ban on Two Finger test for Rape Victims, which many states had done away with anyways. Two finger test is not actual humiliation but Ordeal of insensitive Constables who impose shame on Victim in Power trips, Sadistic pleasure all in name of Official protocols. Try visiting a Local Police station with a Harassment complaint, the Predator blurs and frustrating tunnel of justice overtakes.     
   SMALL TOWN INDIA, LOWER CONSTABULARY
Rapes which get reported in small town India need the women to muster courage to visit a Police station, which is dilapitated structure of hardy and disinterested constables. Constables & Lower rung of Police lay foundation of any case, can crucify the culprit or inject doubt and deception if the palms are greased. A well heeled and land rich accused is almost on first name interaction with constabulary, far better than victim from the Poor or middle class family. They buy, tamper and twist evidence at the very beginning of investigations. Fear of the Oppresser, exhorbitant legal fees, unendng court dates and inadequate evidence will always will be against the Rape Victim in Small Town India. If the accused has a Political Vote bag, chances are may get a case dismissal as FRIVILOUS. So the cases that make National headlines either are supported by a activist/group or are from Metro India. Small Town India is feudal still in 2022 and Adminstrations want less to deal with.               
   PARIINDIA's APPEAL TO INDIAN President MURMU
Its time for a Non-biased investigation of the Constables of Anamika case from office of the Indian President. Complete scrutiny of the Policng in this case and how evidence is tampered needs to be done immediately. The Police apparatus has slipped quietly from backdoor both in the ANAMIKA & BANO Case. PARIINDIA calls for a Immediate capture of Freed Trio in the Anamika case pending a President of India's intervention. The Honourable President of India who is a Woman from Tribal Background needs to empathise with this painful verdict and order a detailed enquiry of her own. Pending which the accused need not reintegrate with the Society or be able to prove a point to family or members of Anamika. Our Woman State Head needs to extert her influence and disallow such flimsy verdicts from letting people loose faith in ourJudiciary. Members of the NRI Fraternity to back the call for a President's Intervention in the ANAMIKA aquittal that has shook the Nations conscience.
