"Why was proper action not taken against the prison authorities?"
Excerpts from an article in http://sankaracharyaarticles.blogspot.com/Puzzling... Police object to the lawyers in this case meeting their clients on the court premises - and prison officials routinely deny, say, Sundaresa Iyer's lawyer permission to meet him in jail. Suddenly, when 2 young, novice women appear at Kanchi Sub Jail, where they have arranged tight security specially for their prize witness, suddenly, the police feel overwhelmed by respect for the legal profession! “Come in, take your time”, say the prison guards to these trespassing lawyers! “What's the rush?”
Under that same tight security, these two young women who are known to be connected to the first accused in the case, are allowed to make death threats against the prime witness for the State of Tamil Nadu in its most important current criminal case. Let's assume the prison guards who usually hover over such visits, were hard of hearing. Ravi Subramaniam, who reportedly complained straightaway to Premkumar himself when 2 SIT officers approached him allegedly to obtain testimony contradicting his earlier incriminating statement, apparently isn't bothered enough by whatever he hears to mention any of it to his guards.
Because, when the same women show up the following week, the police again usher them in with open arms and give them another half-hour with their high-security ward!
Finally, Ravi Subramaniam pipes up in court, (from behind ADSP Shaktivel), and hands a letter of complaint to Magistrate Uttamaraaj on Feb 10th. He also, Duraisamy now informs us, lodges a complaint with prison officials.
So, what does the Magistrate, in whose custody Ravi is supposedly entrusted, do? What do the prison officials, who are charged with ensuring the security of the most important State witness in all of Tamil Nadu do?
NOTHING!
They leave it for his wife - who can have no personal knowledge of the actual threat - to lodge a complaint 12 days later with the police on behalf of a man who is in prison under judicial custody!
