Key Questions Answered
Fazlu Chauhan was wrongfully imprisoned because Police Inspector Sandeep Jagtap fabricated fake electronic evidence, including planting a SIM card and manipulating call records, to frame him for a murder in order to claim credit for solving the case.
The Pune Sessions Court ordered immediate strict disciplinary action against Police Inspector Sandeep Jagtap, directed the Special Inspector General of Police and Satara Superintendent of Police to act, and ruled that compensation for the 10 years of illegal imprisonment should be recovered directly from Jagtap's pocket.
Advocate Nitin Bhalerao exposed the fabrication by presenting police station documents showing that the accused's mobile phone was already seized during arrest, proving it couldn't have been recovered later from his pocket, and demonstrated via call detail records that no such calls were made.
