In Khaki on Broken Wings, the second volume of the bestselling Police Diaries series, former Director General of Police Amod K. Kanth untangles some of the most sensational and heinous crimes that dominated national headlines. Deploying his deep knowledge of real-world crimes committed by the rich and the powerful, Kanth lays bare the loopholes within the criminal justice system, comprising the police, whose investigations are crucial to any prosecution, the courts and lawyers and the prison and correctional services, which influential criminals exploit ruthlessly. In the Jessica Lal murder case, despite compelling evidence gathered by the police, Kanth shows how the court judgement came close to pronouncing ‘No one killed Jessica’ to protect a powerful politician’s son. In the 1999 Delhi hitandrun case, popularly known as the BMW case, he describes how a highly decorated admiral’s family, joined by top lawyers, planted a bogus witness, who became central to the case and whose testimony almost dictated the judicial outcomes. He recounts how ‘Bikini Killer’ Charles Sobhraj managed a sensational escape from the highsecurity Tihar Jail in Delhi. Kanth also narrates the story of the mafia lord Romesh Sharma terrorising his targets to extort properties worth hundreds of crores and thwarting investigations using his access to political and corporate powers. Kanth passionately argues for the radical restructuring of the criminal justice system so that the police and the justice system are able to protect the poor, the needy and the helpless instead of being subservient to the rich and the powerful
