Dehradun, 1 Oct: Ravindra Jugran, an eyewitness and victim of the infamous Rampur Tiraha incident of 2 October 1994, has expressed deep anguish over the fact that even after 31 years, justice has not been delivered.
Jugran said, “It has been 31 long years since this heinous massacre, yet justice remains elusive. India’s judicial system urgently needs reforms to ensure speedy justice.”
He added that their legal case is strong, as the CBI, National Commission for Women, and National Human Rights Commission had all submitted reports in their favour as early as 1996. Despite this, the victims are still waiting for justice.
Jugran informed that he was a petitioner in the Allahabad High Court seeking justice in this case. In 2018, he filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) demanding fast-track justice, upon which the Chief Justice’s bench of the Allahabad High Court took cognizance and summoned all related case documents from the Muzaffarnagar court.
