The article is heart rending.The blatant travesty of law and justice by the powerful is horrendous, to say the least. In a murder case such as this, the prosecutor is the state charged by law, to bring the perpetrator to book. In this case, the Police have bungled the investigation and made the prosecutions case weak. The perpetrator of the outrage had to be let off for lack of evidence. There is something very wrong here. The Delhi Police had bungled the investigation of another case but had to be reopened due to a public outcry. In the Mattoo case, powerful persons have scotched the investigation. In true democratic manner the govt must recognise a kind of Citizen's Initiative to take up these cases in search of justice for the victim.
