Big on NewsX: Miscarriage of justice; innocent jailed for years
  • 5 years ago
Here's a story on miscarriage of justice. Shocking statistics reveal how innocent persons spent several years in jail for crimes they did not commit. Hundreds of accused who have been acquitted by the courts have nowhere to go. Research shows that around 250 people have been arrested by police and then acquitted by courts. These people have lost, at an average 3 to 5 years of their life. Many of them were arrested after major terror attacks without much proof against them. Govt still has no clear policy on rehabilitating or compensating them.
