Or contribute to our reporting fund: https://rzp.io/l/reporting-fund In an interview with TNM, SIT head BK Singh and Suman Pennekar detailed their unconventional approach to the Prajwal Revanna case. They pioneered a first-in-India forensic method: obtaining a court order to photograph the accused's unique body marks for a scientific match to the videos, a technique Singh compared to fingerprinting. They also highlighted the crucial support given to the victims, who were initially "distraught," with the help of counselors and their own families. The conviction, they said, is an example of all state organs working in perfect tandem. 0:00 – Introduction & Context 0:46 – What the Judgment Means to the SIT 2:01 – Impact on Other Cases & Victims 4:02 – Identifying the Victims Who Came Forward 5:17 – Investigation Beginnings & First Challenges 7:40 – Political Climate & Survivor’s Mental State 12:15 – Ensuring Survivor Safety & Livelihood 15:33 – Handling and Analysing Hundreds of Videos 17:45 – Scientific Evidence and Testimony 20:40 – First known instance in India of genital identification for sexual assault case. 25:59 – Strength of the Judgment & Appeal Prospects 27:11 – Threats & Intimidation 28:54 – Collective Effort Behind the Conviction
