This newspaper report states that "The forensic tests concluded that the semen on the bedsheet did not match with that of Soonawala's, and the DNA tests, including that of hair and skin of the complainant and Soonawala didn't suggest an intercourse had taken place." Yet the headlines scream, "COMPLAINANT'S VERSION KEPT". Sad for the good doctor.

They all spoke up for the good doc. and turned up in huge numbers for the hearing. Also, as one of those newspapers said, the forensic experts took dna samples off the furniture and off both, Dr. Soonawalla and the accuser - which is hard evidence.<br /><br />Ultimately, the loss is ours. Most doctors will have to employ someone to be present at all times - guess where their salary will come from. Secondly, many of them will say, forget philanthropy.Khoty Mathurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706537182743683089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230035528177800562.post-49873398195677261562013-07-03T23:58:24.115+12:002013-07-03T23:58:24.115+12:00The case seems dramatic and definitely involve som...The case seems dramatic and definitely involve some bigger connections, However truth always triumphs...

Ordinary Indians are waking up, beginning to understand how exactly our politicians subvert justice and more than anything else they are beginning to understand the power of uniting to speak with one voice. These are the first steps towards gutting out a deeply entrenched corrupt system. So many people spoke up for Dr. Soonawalla it is heartening. Tomorrow, 11th June, is the hearing.Khoty Mathurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706537182743683089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230035528177800562.post-48626029050396037082013-06-08T18:20:56.516+12:002013-06-08T18:20:56.516+12:00Can't help agreeing with that :-(Can't help agreeing with that :-(Khoty Mathurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706537182743683089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230035528177800562.post-89863771660729021562013-06-08T12:48:11.545+12:002013-06-08T12:48:11.545+12:00Indeed!

The article by Mayank Gandhi - see the link in one of my comments - is the most divisive. Words like “poor, simple, oppressed slow witted young lady” as opposed to “a smirking, bribing, elitist middle class that thinks of itself as good and the poor as evil and the alleged victim as a cheap woman.” It has lost Arvind and the AAP a lot of goodwill.Khoty Mathurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706537182743683089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230035528177800562.post-79643697740319025192013-06-06T11:30:17.570+12:002013-06-06T11:30:17.570+12:00TV news wouldn't be such a bad thing if they r...TV news wouldn't be such a bad thing if they restrained their urge to sensationalise news or take sides - if you know the sponsor of a channel you know the slant they'll give the news. <br /><br />Hope your case comes up for hearing soon.

With that, how can you reach to the core of the problem? Because of media police is in pressure. Judiciary... already with 10/15 years backlog... FYI, I filed a case in Delhi High Court in 2000, but that is yet to be heard :( <br /><br />We need more lawyers (good lawyers) and more courts.
