Three people, including two sisters, could have been sentenced to death as a result of false testimonies by "overzealous" cops, a retired judge told a forum on capital punishment last night.
Jagjit Singh, who was a Sessions Court judge, said he encountered the first case when he was a deputy public prosecutor 25 years ago.
In that case, he said, an accused drug trafficker was so close to be convicted under the Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act, which carried mandatory death penalty, when a police raiding officer testified in court that the had confessed to the crime.
