Muthanga verdict: whose death counts?
India’s Muthanga case has drawn criticism after a 23‑year legal process over the years in the region, involving 47 witnesses and a 217‑page judgment focused on Vinod’s death. In contrast, the case against Jogi received no formal charge, no witnesses, and no investigative questions, raising concerns about unequal treatment and the fairness of the proceedings, and the implications for local governance.
