The Cempolil murder case took another round of uprising and
another edge in the public domain as the visual, print and online media
unleashed panel discussions, features and posts on the circumstances
surrounding the Special Team’s submission of the Charge Sheet in the Trial Court.
Channel 36 TV station included a daily discussion on their feature programme ‘Media Mirror’ with the title, ‘The Public Mind.’ How the public reacts to the various aspects of the progress, the case focused on the elements of the ST’s Charge Sheet, including the replacement of the old investigation team by the new special investigation team and how it coursed through in determining the destiny of the case.
Has the second
team progressed in the right direction, or has it skewed the genuine progress
and case course? Whether the public
doubts any foul play in the case of the second investigation team. Has it genuinely purposed its effort in doing
justice to the unfortunate woman who got brutally murdered, or was it deviated
from its path towards favouring the real murderers and denying justice to the murdered? Has the second investigation team shown
laxity in questioning the victim’s mother? Was it fitting or intentional, and what was the
purpose behind providing her with the blood money and police protection?

Arjun got an invitation to participate in the discussion on the
first day-- was reluctant to accept it.
Two reasons bothered him. First,
he didn’t want to create enemies in the force more than he already had by doing
his job honestly and meticulously. Second,
he wasn’t sure whether he was violating any legal procedure by disclosing the
facts he knew about the case. In high
profile cases, his opinion was that media involvement had gone overboard in several instances.
But the media stand was that it has a critical role in
informing the public about the ins and outs of the criminal investigation and
the legal course. It was their
responsibility, especially in the political, economic, communal, gender and other
aspects to derail the truth and make the real victims take the bitter pill of not feeling justice served to them.
