Police often fabricate or suppress evidence to serve political interests
  • Investigating agencies routinely manipulate evidence to fit predetermined conclusions. Example: In the Delhi Excise Scam, the CBI and ED were accused of selectively targeting political opponents while ignoring evidence that could exonerate them. In the Jessica Lal case, ballistic evidence was tampered with, and witnesses turned hostile due to police coercion. The Supreme Court has noted that investigations often start with 'conclusions first, evidence later' approach. This undermines the credibility of law enforcement and leads to wrongful convictions. Without independent oversight, police act as political tools rather than impartial investigators, eroding public trust in the justice system.
