It is matter of regret that Sadhwi Pragyan was beaten by a senior officer and was subject to vulgar abuse and obscene language by members of the ATS team. Moreover her chastity was questioned and she was physically and verbally traumatized to the extent that she wanted to commit suicide (as stated by her on her affidavit). It is the clear case of custodial abuse. It is clearly visible that Constitutionalism is decaying from this country and Popular Sovereignty is a myth.
When my country is talking about the right to a legal defence, even of a terrorist, it is painful to listen that she was denied access to a Lawyer, up to the 24.10.2008.
Further narco test and lie detection test were conducted without her consent, which is gross violation of principle of legality as well as fundamental and legal rights. Never the less all these investigative tests have only established her innocence in the Malegaon bomb blast that took place on 29.9.2008. But it is to be taken care of that in any situation the act of the officials must be JUST, FAIR and REASONABLE.
