Indian Law Exposed: Courts, Crime, Bail, Power & Police | Utkarsh Dave | FO421 Raj Shamani
Raj Shamani Figuring Out episode, in Hindi, in which Raj talks with Gujarat advocate Utkarsh Dave about how India's criminal justice system actually works from the inside. Dave describes how murder accused with power get their names kept out of FIRs, how witnesses and their families are bought or pressured into compromise, and how an accused who killed 135 people was out on bail in about fourteen months. He walks through the Morbi bridge collapse case he is fighting: the bridge reopened without a proper fitness certificate, a private company ran it on a ticketing model, and his PIL in the Gujarat High Court is pushing for two hundred and fifty crore rupees in compensation for the victims' families, a fight he says will not stop. He explains the delay playbook - a discharge application kept pending for years, then appeals to the High Court and Supreme Court that stall trial for seven to eight years - and argues that money plus political power can bend almost any case, while insisting that India's law itself is not blind. PARTIAL COVERAGE: this summary highlights the justice-system lessons; case anecdotes and personal asides are not covered. These are Dave's own claims and experiences, not independently verified.
