The Delhi Police is turning the heat on eyewitnesses who are retracting their story in the “Jessica Lall murder case.” Buoyed by the Supreme Court (SC) implicating verdict on Zahira Sheikh who changed her story on the “Best Bakery case,” the police pointed accused eyewitness Shiv Dass Yadav, an electrician who was working at the bar and claimed to have seen the shooting, of retracting his testimony without due cause. Dass was accorded police custody and never once did he retract his story till the actual trial. SC Chief Justice Sabharwal had highlighted the need for change if the system is to be protected and in response the Parliament is considering a new law that will amend the Criminal Penal Code (CrPC) that will make it harder for witnesses to turn hostile.
