Stan Swamyâs Death Exposes Our Broken Criminal Justice System Crying For Reforms By hyping up cases of terrorism, we are actually doing a disservice to the foundation of our police system, which has strived hard to maintain peace and law and order.

In the worldâs largest democracy, where even convicts serving sentences have certain rights, Swamy, an undertrial, failed to get his due from a clutch of agencies responsible for his incarceration and bringing him to justice. His demise is a grave pointer towards a broken criminal justice system crying for reforms.
