Oskar Groening's Case and Its Relevance in the Indian Context

Vol. 50, Issue No. 40, 03 Oct, 2015
Rajashri Dasgupta

Why Did Rizwanur Rehman Have to Die?

Vol. 42, Issue No. 42, 20 Oct, 2007
Rajashri Dasgupta

The manner in which the Kolkata police handled the Rizwanur-Priyanka case smacks of their class, social and communal bias in making marriages made out of personal choice look like illegal activity.

Rajashri Dasgupta

The Calcutta police has come in for severe criticism in the report of the Justice Deb Commission set up to look into the torture and death of the prime suspect in a murder case. Will this at last lead to the investigation of other lock-up deaths as well?
