The former chief public prosecutor of Maharashtra has alleged that the outcome of the case was a “collective failure” of the people, owing to legal/procedural inconsistencies and behind-the-scenes pressure “over time”. https://thewire.in/politics/malegaon-blast-case-was-known-this-would-happen-says-rohini-salian-years-after-allegin
“It was known that this would happen,” she alleged, speaking to The Indian Express. “What else is expected if you don’t lay out the true evidence? I was not the prosecutor who presented the evidence to the court finally. I was out since 2017, and before that, I had presented plenty of evidence and the Supreme Court had upheld it all. Where did it all vanish?”
“I am not even disappointed with the verdict because this has become routine for me. We lose our sensitivity when this keeps happening. Nobody wants the truth to come out. We work very hard, but someone doesn’t want us to. Whose failure is this finally? Our own – the people’s,” she said, adding that the government cannot be blamed because it is also elected by the people.
