James Kumar Ray, the prime accused in the Payal Surekha murder case in Bangalore, has written a letter to the Director General of police and state human rights commission, claiming that he is innocent and the police have tortured him to confess to the crime.
He goes on to claim that the police made him purchase the 'murder weapon', which was used to frame him. James is currently lodged in the Central prison.
"They threatened to shoot me and dump my body under the bridge if I didn't confess to the murder. In Bhubaneshwar, I was forced into a hotel room and chained. I was then subjected to sustained beating. I was beaten throughout our journey to Bangalore."
"I have been brutally tortured and implicated in false case by a group of police officers. I am ready to cooperate with an honest officer and swear that I never entered the house of Anant Vai and Payal di on December 17," James stated.
DCP Sonia Narang said, "Everyone says they are innocent when they are caught red handed. Even Ajmal Qasab said that. We have done a thorough investigation. Let the courts decide."
