Jagendra Singh’s family and neighbours in Awas Vikas Colony are apprehensive about the way the forensic team went about its business. They argue someone from the prosecution side should have been present while evidence was being collected from Singh’s house. The forensic team claims the entire exercise was videographed. “The cops came, took some stuff away and going by the way things have fared so far, what is the guarantee that evidence wasn’t tempered with?” questions a man who runs a grocery shop a few blocks away. His wife is even more pessimistic. “There is no justice for the common man; it’s the Samajwadi Party’s government and the police works under them. It’s foolish to even wish for a fair investigation.”
