A man by the name Naveen was accused in a POCSO case under the limits of Mangaluru rural police station. SI Rosamma slapped POCSO case on Naveen Sequeira and handed him over to Revathi, police inspector for interrogation. Naveen Sequeira was arrested during investigation. The victim had mentioned the name as only Naveen in the statement she gave before the judge as well as in the complaint. However, the police filed charge sheet against Naveen Sequeira.

Rajesh Kumar Amtadi and Girish Shetty, lawyers for the accused presented their argument in the court. Judge K U Radhakrishna, who conducted the inquiry acquitted Naveen Sequeira saying that he is innocent. Hence, the judge slapped fine of Rs five lac on the erring police officers.

    The fines are usually paid from the State coffers (our money !!!) , one should insist that it should be paid from the personal accounts of those responsible. There are several judgements most famous is JT 1993(3)-SC-33. Otherwise such things will not stop.

    The affected person must approach HC and even SC if the need be so that he can put these biased erring Police behind bars for life. No Khaki should dare to make these mistakes. Already they enjoy too much immunity and they misuse their power for corruption and illegal activities. Mangaluru CAA/NRC murders by Police, investigation report done by Bomma's Police still not out yet. How you can expect justice from Khaki and its biased bosses ?

    One year judicial custody, unnecessary mental torture, legal battle to prove innocence, just costs corrupt people 5 lakhs. Innocent can even die in the jail. 2 lakhs compensation. Cheap justice or cruel injustice?
