WHY RAMANI AND NOT MANU BEHIND BARS??

What ever Ramani may or may not have done, she did not murder Jessica Lal and that is the only thing that the SET needs to remember. It was appointed to investigate murder and not forgery.

With the arrest of Bina Ramani last week it can be safely said that Manu Sharma will get away with the murder twice. There will be no justice for Jessica Lal because the Special Investigation Team (SIT) set up to establish a new case against her killer has turned the investigation into a tragic farce. Ramani is one of the only three witnesses who have dared to identify Manu as the killer, others being her daughter Malini and husband Georges Mallihot and the police seem determine to break her or there was no need for the non bailable warrant that resulted in her meaningless arrest.
The SIT is supposed to be investigating murder and gives us instead charges against Ramani that by no stretch of the judicial imagination merit incarceration. But this is India, so the man who killed Jessica because she refused to give him a drink now runs his own bar in Chandigarh and has a farther who is a minister in the Haryana`s Congress Government and Ramani goes to jail for allegedly forging some document and running a bar without a license. She has already paid a fine for her unlicensed bar and her bar is closed for the past seven years, so where was the need to arrest her if not to intimidate her?

Jessica`s senseless, tragic murder should have been an open-and-shut case. From day one Jessica`s murder was treated on par in the media with Ramani running an unlicensed bar and when she was arrested last week, most of the media asked no questions as if the arrest was somehow justified. I have concluded that the lack of sympathy for Ramani comes from her being a ‘socialite’ , a celebrity of sorts while Manu Sharma is only a good, little middle class boy gone bad. Otherwise surely, there should be more outrage that a key witness is in jail while the killer walks free.
Surely there should be more outrage that his father, Vinod Sharma, continues to be a minister in a Congress government. I emphasize Congress because please remember it is our only political party headed by someone who prides herself on always taking moral high ground.

Thus Jessica Lal`s murder case is yet another mockery of the Indian judicial system.
