裁判のやり直しにつながりかねない重大な事案である。根底から揺らいだ刑事司法への信頼を取り戻すためには、やはり第三者による透明で公正な究明が不可欠だ。
佐賀県警の科学捜査研究所（科捜研）の元職員がDNA型鑑定で不正を繰り返していた問題で、警察庁が県警に対する特別監察を始めた。付属機関である科学警察研究所から鑑定の専門家も同行させ、原因の解明とともに再発防止策をまとめるという。
特別監察は都道府県警の重大な不祥事などが起きた際に実施される異例の措置だ。記録の残る2011年以降では5例目で、前回は昨年の鹿児島県警のケースだった。
今回の監察は、佐賀県警の問題公表後に高まった世論の批判や科学捜査全体への信用が損なわれた事態を重く見て踏み切ったものだ。しかし、実態としては警察組織の身内による調査にほかならず、明らかに公正さに欠ける。
佐賀県弁護士会や日本弁護士連合会など多くの司法関係者が、第三者機関による原因解明と捜査や公判に与えた影響の検証を要求している。県警はその必要性を否定する一方で、県議会が第三者の調査を求める決議案を全会一致で可決した事実も重い。
監察結果がどうであれ、警察から独立性のある機関による検証を改めて求めるべきだろう。
元職員は昨年10月までの7年以上にわたり、実際には実施していない鑑定を偽装したり、鑑定試料を紛失して別の物を警察署に返還したりするなど、計130件の不正を重ねていた。このうち16件は、殺人未遂や不同意性交といった事件の証拠として佐賀地検に送付されていた。
地検は「処分の決定（起訴、不起訴）や公判の証拠として使用された事例はない」としているものの、客観的な根拠を示しておらず、説得力には欠ける。県警も「事件捜査への影響は認められず、公判への影響もないと考えている」と説明しているが、これを特別監察が追認して終わるようでは、捜査機関への不信はさらに増幅する恐れがある。
DNA型鑑定は究極の個人情報とされ、有罪判決の決め手になる一方で、過去には冤罪を生んできた経緯もある。再捜査や冤罪を晴らす上で再鑑定が必要になる場合もあるにもかかわらず、鑑定後に残った試料の保管はこれまでなおざりにされてきた。
今回の問題はその実態を浮き彫りにした。元職員が7年以上担当した632件の鑑定のうち、残った試料が保管されていたのは124件にとどまっていたという。
その背景には、鑑定後の試料の保管や無罪になった人のデータ抹消といった取り扱いを定める法律がなく、警察の裁量任せになっている現状がある。鑑定試料の保存義務を課すなど、法制化の議論も併せて始めるべきだ。

Our judicial system has developed a reputation for not delivering justice in a timely manner. However, I am confident in telling the people of Rajasthan that the three new criminal justice laws will ensure timely, accessible, and simple justice, highlighted Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made numerous changes aimed at improving the ease of living. Alongside the implementation of these laws, there will also be a significant transformation in the ease of justice. “Through these laws, our criminal justice system will operate inspired by justice rather than punishment,” Amit Shah asserted.
These reforms have been effectively implemented across the country, with the Ministry of Home Affairs providing assistance and follow-up guidance to all states. Hailing the BJP’s efforts to streamline the justice process, Amit Shah informed that any FIR filed after 2027 will be brought to justice in the Supreme Court within three years.
Highlighting the three new laws introduced by PM Modi, Shah explained, “These laws abolish 160-year-old statutes and will allow any FIR to be filed nationwide after 2027. It will take another two years for the entire system to be fully implemented. However, thanks to this legislation, any FIR filed after 2027 will be resolved in the Supreme Court within three years.”
The Union Home Minister also shared encouraging statistics regarding Rajasthan’s justice system. “In Rajasthan, the conviction rate was previously only 42%. After implementing the three new laws just one year ago, this rate has already risen to 60%. When these laws are fully implemented, we expect the conviction rate to reach up to 90%,” he said.
Amit Shah emphasized that these laws incorporate various scientific methods. To support this, the government has established the National Forensic Science University in 2020 for the smooth implementation of these laws. “By gradually opening affiliated colleges across the country, we are creating a new workforce of youth engaged in scientific work,” he added.
Among the new measures, terrorism, mob lynching, organized crime, and digital crime have been defined for the first time in our judicial system. The three laws also prescribe specific time limits at more than 29 points throughout the process. For example:
– Updates must be provided to victims within 90 days.
– A copy of the police report must be given to the victim within 14 days.
– The charge sheet must be filed within 60 to 90 days.
– The laws also allow for trials in absentia.
These reforms mark a significant step forward in making justice more accessible, efficient, and scientific across India.

**Karur Stampede Case: Supreme Court Orders CBI Probe, Constitutes Oversight Committee**
*By Snehil Singh | October 13, 2025, 11:34 AM*
—
The Supreme Court has directed a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the tragic stampede that occurred in Karur, Tamil Nadu, on September 27, 2025. The incident unfolded during a political rally organized by the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) and resulted in the deaths of at least 41 people, as reported by Bar and Bench.
The TVK, led by actor-turned-politician Vijay, had challenged a Madras High Court order which called for a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe. Vijay also demanded an independent investigation, addressing the adverse remarks made by the High Court regarding the case.
### Supreme Court Constitutes Committee to Oversee CBI Probe
The Supreme Court bench, comprising Justices JK Maheshwari and NV Anjaria, has set up a three-member committee to monitor and supervise the ongoing CBI investigation. The committee will be headed by retired Supreme Court judge Justice Ajay Rastogi. Alongside him, two Indian Police Service (IPS) officers—likely from Tamil Nadu but not locals—will serve on the panel.
In a bid for transparency, the Supreme Court has instructed the CBI to submit monthly progress reports of its investigation directly to this committee.
### Conflicting High Court Orders Raise Concerns
The Supreme Court’s intervention comes amid conflicting orders from different benches of the Madras High Court. While the principal bench ordered an SIT investigation into the case, the Madurai Bench had earlier refused to allow a CBI probe. This discrepancy had raised concerns at the apex court level.
### Background: Madras High Court’s SIT Order and Legal Developments
On October 3, Justice N Senthilkumar of the Madras High Court directed a Special Investigation Team probe, expressing dissatisfaction with the state’s investigation into the stampede. The judge highlighted that no criminal case had been filed in connection with two separate hit-and-run incidents involving Vijay’s campaign vehicle.
Subsequently, a case was reportedly registered against the driver of Vijay’s campaign vehicle for these incidents. In response, TVK approached the Supreme Court seeking an independent investigation beyond what the state authorities had provided.
### SOP for Rallies Plea Assigned to Division Bench
Alongside the probe order, the Supreme Court has assigned the plea regarding the establishment of a Standard Operating Protocol (SOP) for roadshows and political rallies to a division bench of the Madras High Court.
Senior advocates Gopal Subramaniam and Aryama Sundaram appeared for TVK, while senior advocates Mukul Rohatgi and P Wilson represented the Tamil Nadu government in the matter.

The developments surrounding the Karur stampede case highlight intensified judicial scrutiny and the demand for a transparent and impartial investigation into the tragedy that shook Tamil Nadu. This ongoing probe and the formulation of SOPs are expected to set precedents for the management of mass political gatherings in the future.

The National Commission for Women (NCW) has recommended that police interrogate a friend of the 23-year-old Odisha college student who was allegedly gang-raped in Durgapur, West Bengal. NCW member Archana Majumdar met the survivor at a hospital, where the victim revealed that her friend had persuaded her to leave her private college shortly before the attack on Friday.
So far, three suspects have been arrested and one detained in connection with the case. The accused have been identified as Apu Bauri (21), Firdos Sekh (23), Sekh Reajuddin (31), and Sheikh Sofiqul.
The survivor’s father also indicated possible involvement of the friend, stating that the friend fled when the accused cornered his daughter. “The survivor’s friend is also under the scanner. He had insisted that she go out with him. When the survivor was cornered by the accused, he fled the scene,” said NCW member Archana Majumdar.
The survivor’s mother alleged that her daughter was gang-raped around 10:00 PM last Friday. According to police, an initial probe revealed that the survivor went out with her friend around 8:00 to 8:30 PM.
“The friend left her alone when three unidentified men arrived there,” a police officer speaking on the condition of anonymity said. The accused reportedly snatched the woman’s phone and took her to a jungle outside the campus, where they raped her, threatening serious consequences if she disclosed the incident to anyone.
Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has assured the survivor’s family of the state government’s support amid the investigation. Meanwhile, leaders from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Odisha and West Bengal have demanded the swift arrest of all those involved in the case.
Suvendu Adhikari, Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal assembly, accused the Mamata Banerjee administration—who is also the state’s police minister—of law and order collapse.
West Bengal Women and Child Development Minister Sashi Panja described the incident as “deeply unfortunate” and emphasized that politicizing crimes against women is undesirable.
East Asansol Deputy Commissioner of Police Abhishek Gupta confirmed on Sunday that all investigation protocols are being followed. A drone has been deployed to track a fifth accused believed to be involved in the case.

**Bizarre Acts of Love: A Retired Firefighter’s Desperate Robbery**
Adding to the list of bizarre things people have done for love is the story of a 60-year-old retired firefighter with no prior criminal record who entered a supermarket near a local police station. Wearing a balaclava over his mouth and brandishing a firearm, he demanded all the money in the supermarket. Oddly, he also helped himself to a piece of Emmental cheese and some wine before being arrested.
What makes this incident truly unusual is the man’s calm demeanor when he walked with the police to their car, seemingly wanting to be arrested. It later emerged that his motives were heartbreaking rather than criminal.
According to an interview with his court-appointed lawyer, the man was desperate — he didn’t even want the money. All he wished was to see his grandson or at least be allowed to go on a walk with him. The lawyer revealed that the man was heartbroken after seeing his grandson in a waiting room with a broken tooth, a result of being molested by inmates.
The 60-year-old was prosecuted for armed robbery, aggravated assault, and rebellion. He pled guilty, but his circumstances deeply moved everyone involved, including the judge. Ultimately, the judge ruled that the man acted out of desperation and spared him from the typical three to five years of prison.
In the end, the man was ordered to compensate the victims of the robbery, undergo psychological treatment, and was banned from visiting the supermarket he robbed. Importantly, he retained the legal right to visit his grandson without being incarcerated. This story appears to have a hopeful resolution for all parties involved.

**Invite-Only Burger: The World’s Most Expensive Burger**
While burgers are generally popular as pocket-friendly meals, burger prices are on the rise — but nothing like the $11,000 burger served at the Asador Aupa restaurant in Spain. This exclusive burger, costing approximately Rs 97 lakh, is the result of eight years of research and experimentation by the chefs and remains a closely guarded secret.
Unlike typical food joint burgers, this gourmet creation is not listed on the restaurant’s menu. The owner explains that their concept was that luxury doesn’t need to be flashy but rather unattainable. As such, diners must be invited to try this burger.
The restaurant’s website states: *“If you think you should be on the list, you can request it and the request will be processed.”* The exclusivity surrounding this high-priced burger — with no gimmicks, just high-quality ingredients — is certainly fascinating.

**Raw-Dogging Boredom: Gen Z’s New Screen Detox Trend**
In a surprising new trend, Gen Z has found a novel method to reduce screen time — by doing absolutely nothing. This challenge, popularized on TikTok, involves staring blankly without any entertainment, sleep, or distraction, simply enduring boredom.
Nicknamed “raw-dogging boredom,” this practice could unexpectedly help teens manage their screen addiction and improve their attention spans. Whether it becomes a lasting remedy for digital overload remains to be seen, but it’s a unique approach to tackling modern life’s screen-heavy habits.
