न्याय का दमन
Miscarriage Of Justice
Priyadarshini Mattoo was a 25-year-old law (LLB) student at Delhi University. The time she
was killed, she was doing the final year of her law program. She was raped
and brutally killed with a motorcycle helmet and then strangled with a wire.
Santosh Kumar Singh was the main suspect in this murder because he was
stalking and harassing Priyadarshini for a long time. Santosh was her
immediate senior in the college and belonging to an influential family. At
that time his father J.P. Singh was J&K state's Inspector General of
Police and during the court trial, he served as Delhi's Joint Commissioner
of Police.
Priyadarshini had already filed a complaint several times that Santosh
Singh is harassing her and police had also given her security. In defense
Santosh also complained that Priyadarshini is serving two degrees
simultaneously but later it just came out as a fake allegation on her.
January 23, 1996:
Even after taking security from police Santosh was stalking at
Priyadarshini and he had been aware that what is the best time when she is
alone. That day when Priyadarshini's security guard was not present with her
Santosh knocked on her door. Priyadarshini was living at the uncle's home in
Vasant Kunj, Delhi. Santosh convinced her that he wants to discuss the cases
against him and wants to compromise. After Priyadarshini allowed her to
speak, he raped her and smashed her face with his helmet.

The next day there was a sensation in the media over the nation. Delhi was going through chaos. Delhi police were under high pressure in this case. They raided Santosh's house where they found his helmet whose visor was broken. Observing the high influence of Santosh's father, the case was handed over to CBI in just 48 hours. CBI overtook all the shreds of evidence collected by the Delhi police and took Santosh's blood sample also. Later they matched sample found on Priyadarshini's undergarments with Santosh's DNA which was matched. In other pieces of evidence police also met with Priyadarshini's two neighbors who saw her outside her house on murder's day.
