Three Friends

Background

The state was shocked in November 2016 by a gang called the "Black Pulsar Gang" — dacoits and murderers. Untraceable by the police and with pressure from the media, locals demanded restoration and clarity in police investigations. The police were on the hunt for the "Black Pulsar Gang".

Friends' Ordeal
  • Ashish and two of his other friends were celebrating as one had bought a new black Pulsar motorcycle. Three friends went for a spin around the city. Asish and his friends knew very little as to how their night was going to be.
  • The police apprehended them at a check post and proclaimed them to be members of the "Black Pulsar Gang".
  • Evidences were planted, false confessional statements were recorded, and the case was brought to trial.
JLF Intervention
  • JLF represented all of them, they being from poor backgrounds.
  • All three have already been acquitted.
  • During cross examinations, it was disclosed as to how evidences were planted and false statements were recorded against the accused persons.

Kamala's Plight

Background
  • A woman married to an IT professional was subject to domestic violence and cruelty on a regular basis during their stay in the United States.
  • Being a habitual drinker, Kamala's husband died of illness during their brief period of separation.
  • The deceased's family members withdrew all savings and funds from his account without letting Kamala and financial institutions know about the deceased's death.
  • When Kamala received information through an obituary in a local daily and went to his deceased-husband's house, she was abused, both verbally and physically.
JLF Intervention
  • We took up Kamala's cause and filed an FIR with the local police station, towards which the accused persons have filed an anticipatory bail at the Hon'ble Odisha High Court.
  • We have vehemently opposed on each date of hearing and the accused persons have stopped appearing in the said bail application.
  • The hearing is at a stage where if the anticipatory bail application is rejected, the accused persons will be arrested and brought to trial.
