Priyadarshini Matto Case: SC converts death sentence to life

Mattoo

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court of India commuted the death sentence for Santosh Singh, the accused in the Priyadarshani Matto murder case, to life sentence.

Priyadarshini's father was shattered and dismayed on hearing this judgment pronounced by the highest court of our country. He had laid down expectations for better treatment from the court.

The 23-year-old law student, Priyadarshini Mattoo was supposedly raped and strangled in her home at Vasant Kunj in the capital in January 1996. Santosh Singh was a senior student of the same college.

The Delhi High Court had declared Santosh Singh guilty of rape and murder of Matto in October 2006 and had sentenced him to death. Singh, who was a lawyer till he was sent to jail, appealed against the death sentence in the Supreme Court. "For a murder so grotesque and brutal, the convict deserves nothing less than the death penalty," the High Court had declared. The law experts said its decision was based on a amalgamation of forensic as well as circumstantial evidence.

This decision reversed the earlier verdict by a lower court in Delhi that had acquitted Singh on basis of benefit of doubt. A judge, at that time, had even insisted that it was due to the lag on part of the Delhi Police that he was forced to acquit Singh even though he knew that Singh "is the man who committed the crime".

The Supreme Court said today that, "To our mind, certain things are in favor of appellant (Singh). We are converting the punishment of death sentence into the life imprisonment."

Priyadarshini had complained a year before her murder, in 1995, that Santosh Singh was stalking her. Singh was even seen, on 23 January 1996, entering into the Vasant Kunj residence of Priyadarshini. She was discovered dead by her domestic maid. She had been first raped and then strangled using an electric wire with her face totally smashed with a motorcycle helmet. Singh's shattered helmet was later recovered that acted as a substantial evidence against him.

Critical DNA tests conducted on Singh were rejected by the trial court that directly linked him to the deliberate rape and murder of Priyadarshini but were later accepted by the High Court of Delhi. Both courts had concurred on the fact that the delay in the case was because Singh's father was a senior police officer.

The High Court condemned the police sassing that the rule of law, "The High Court slammed the police, stating that the rule of law “is not meant for those who enforce the law nor for their near relatives”.

Mohammed Asif's former girlfriend and a Pakistani model, Veena Malik was the main topic of discussion between the inmates of the Bigg Boss season 4 house on the Tuesday episode.

Veena Malik is one of the participants on this reality show aired on the channel Colors. She openly revealed all her encounters with Mohammed Asif and also about the match-fixing spot scandal he was recently involved in.

Veena revealed to the other inhabitants of the Bigg Boss that she provided substantial evidence proving Asif's involvement in the match-fixing spot scandal to the ICC.

This 4th season of Bigg Boss kick-started on Sunday night with the first episode focused on introduction of the participants by the host Salman Khan amongst much fanfare and other musical and dance performances by Sambhavana Seth, Kashmira Shah among others.

This revelation followed the apparent broking down of Ashmit Patel in the earlier episode when his alleged MMS scandal with Riya Sen was discussed. Another participant Bunty chor was ousted in the first episode itself for his obscenities and also for breaking the rules set by Bigg Boss. He not only tempered with the cameras installed in the house but also kept constantly uttering in obscene language to let him out of the house.

This reality show is also facing other problems from the Shiv Sena in Mumbai who are threatening them of dire consequences because of the involvement of Pakistani participants.

Rajnikanth has proved his magic yet again. His blockbuster ROBOT has surpassed even the mainstream bollywood hits like Dabangg and 3 Idiots far behind. This movie has collected an enormous sum of 100 crores in the first week itself amounting just from the ticket sales that include all the three adaptations of the movie including the overseas sales of the tickets which has established ROBOT as the highest ever grosser in India.

ROBOT has raised the expectations for further returns. It is expected to gross minimum of Rs. 120 crore that includes Rs. 130 crores more from the ticket sales from all over the world as it is still getting an overwhelming response and the fans are lining up to lay their hands on the tickets of the superstar Rajnikanth.

Devang Sampat, the president of operations from Cinemax India revealed that ROBOT is getting a superb response in the South which is showing occupancy of 100% and there is still a long line of people waiting to get hold of the tickets. Rajni Dada's fans are so excited for the movie that they are booking tickets for which ever show that is available, even if that means after a week.

It is also believed that at quite a few places the tickets of ROBOT are being sold in black in as much as 5,000. Rajnikanth has silenced his critics forever who ask him to retire or to accept roles as per his age.

ROBOT is a simple story of a creator who creates a robot that can later prove to be a Frankenstein. These returns are truly well deserved as the entire movie keeps the audiences at the edge of their seats.
