Chennai cops break conviction record

Wednesday, March 9, 2005 (Chennai):
The world record for the fastest conviction set by the Chennai police last week stands broken.
From 40 days it is now down to 29 days for a murder case. And the new record is again by the Chennai Police.
Chennai's Police Chief R Nataraj is all smiles these days. His cops seem to have got into a habit of making and breaking world records.
No mean task
Last week a fast track court had convicted a man for murder within 40 days from the date of the crime.
The city police had created a world record for the fastest conviction beating Scotland Yard's record of 45 days.
Now even that is history. A sessions Court in the city has sentenced 38-year-old Jayaraman to life imprisonment for stabbing to death a cobbler right outside a commercial complex on Chennai`s busy Mount Road due to enmity.
The crime took place just 29 days back.
"We keep doing our best and I hope even this record is broken," said Sunil Kumar, JCP, Central Chennai.
Records are created only to be broken. But when agencies across the country are struggling to file charge sheets within 90 days, narrowing the gap between crime and punishment so drastically is no mean task.
