In 2017, the tail end of the biggest miscarriage in British legal history struck at the core of Farncombe, devastating the life of our ex Sub-Postmaster Chirag Sidhpura and his family.
Chirag was accused of stealing £57,000 on account of a faulty IT system, just as Post Office Directors were gearing up to fight 555 ex-Sub-Postmasters at the High Court.
These were innocent men and women who had faced a similar fate to Chirag; some were convicted, bankrupted, imprisoned; others lost homes, marriages, their sanity or their lives.
This extraordinary saga has been followed by award-winning journalist, Nick Wallis (Panorama, Private Eye), culminating in his newly published ‘The Great Post Office Scandal’ in which Chirag features.
The fight for justice goes on as Farncombe’s ex-Sub-Postmaster and thousands of others refuse to be defeated by force’s which are powerful, state-funded and will go to almost any means to avoid exposure...
