“ The Hunter Commission, which probed the Jallianwala Bagh mass murder, recommended punishment and demotion of the British officials responsible... in independent, democratic and secular India justice is not even as honest as the Hunter episode,” he says.

Conspiracy everywhere

Another article by Teesta Setalvad titled “What Nanavati did not see” says “by using torture, coercion and the draconian provisions of the POTA law, absurd confessions have been extracted whereby a person ends up confessing to have done something that it was impossible to do.. It was impossible to stop the train by rotating the alarm disc from outside because of the modifications in design,” she says. “Yet the investigators forced such a confession to support their claim that Salim Paanwala (one of the accused) had instigated Muslim hawkers to stop the train near the A cabin as part of the pre-planned conspiracy,” she says. According to Setalvad, the most glaring omission in the prosecutor’s tale is its silence about what the conspirators’ original plan was, had the train not been delayed by several hours.
