Unanswered questions over judgment on toxic waste deaths [1]

Serious gaps in police investigation and the resulting lack of evidence combined with poor prosecution have allowed the court of district and sessions judge, West, to acquit a factory owner and others in the case where the dumping of highly toxic industrial waste in an open area was alleged to have caused the deaths of two children in Site town. Handed down on March 26, the judgment chided the police for having made misdirected efforts "for its own reasons' and for failing to prosecute the case properly.
