Andha Kanoon? India’s Broken Justice System | Straight Bat with Rajdeep Sardesai | Pranoy Roy | Umar Khalid | NDTV | Radhika Roy
In this episode of “The Straight Bat,” Rajdeep Sardesai examines two deeply troubling stories that expose the flaws in India’s criminal justice system.
First, the case of NDTV’s former promoters, Prannoy and Radhika Roy, who endured seven years of harassment by the CBI, only for the case to be closed citing “lack of evidence.” This harassment ultimately led to the Adani takeover of NDTV, demonstrating how the legal process itself becomes punishment.
The second story highlights the plight of Umar Khalid and four others accused in the Delhi riots—Abdul Khalid Saifi, Gulfisha Fatima, Md Saleem Khan, and Shifa Ur Rehman—who continue to fight for bail, even four years after their arrest. Despite not a single charge being proven, Umar Khalid remains behind bars. Why does the justice system favor the powerful while leaving others to languish?
Watch Rajdeep Sardesai as he asks: Is our justice system truly equal for all, or is it a case of “justice delayed, justice denied”?
