At Tamarind Court she served for funWhile waiting for her place in the sun
But Fate deemed that Jessie
Die horrible and messy
Killed point-blank, by some VIP’s son.
Many years since then have scampered
With the evidence someone has tampered
The corridors of power
Made witnesses cower
So finally justice was unfairly hampered.
The trial thus turned out a sham
With the accused not giving a damn
As if to remind
That justice is blind
They were let off the hook, what a scam!
But with public snapping at their heel
The Delhi police had to file an appeal
Now a new team
Is working full steam
So that verdict the High Court can repeal.
Let us hope that in this long fight
True justice will one day see light
And Jessie will know
Though God’s mills grind slow
In the end they sure pulverize all right!

Very well put Aparna. It's just total shocking to see that a murder infront of 100s of people..can go un-noticed.
