In previous episodes, Madhav Mishra has taken on Mukul’s defense, not necessarily because he believes in Mukul's innocence, but because he believes in the sanctity of the legal process—a process that seems determined to convict Mukul without conclusive evidence.

The circumstantial evidence is damning, and public sentiment has already crucified the young boy.
