Justice (Retired) Madan Lokur today outlined some of the lapses in the investigation in the Kolkata rape-murder case that has raised a storm of protest from the medical community across the country. In an exclusive, wide-ranging interview, he also discussed the reason why the courts are increasingly taking notice of and dealing with what essentially are hardcore governance issues.
In the current case, Justice Lokur said, the woman's body was the evidence which was cremated too early.
"What was the hurry? Bodies are kept in the morgue," he told NDTV. There was also the question of delay in filing the First Information Report. "That may not have significance in terms of investigation, but the cremation was wrong," he said.
