Anita Pradhan and her son. Her husband was Sibino Pradhan – killed during the communal massacre in 2008. She is struggling with the case. In most of the cases, people know the culprits and their leaders. But the judicial system has failed them. Political patronage for the perpetuators of violence continues….impunity continues….

There have been more than 3,300 complaints, but only 820 odd FIRs were registered. The rest of the complaints were not even registered.
Among these complaints, only 518 cases were charge sheeted. The remaining cases were treated as false reports. And out of these 518 cases, 247 cases were disposed off. The rest of the cases are pending before the sessions and magistrate courts. And amongst those disposed cases, many are already acquitted. If you take complaints as a yardstick of justice process, it is just around 1% only.
When will people like these get justice?
