For the twenty years of her widowhood, Gowri has wondered: what really happened on the last day of her husband’s life.

The facts of his death are simple. But the sudden financial crisis that drove him to suicide remains mysterious.

“There were two officers. And I think the police also came. And I asked them, ‘where is he? Where is my husband?’ And they said he is under audit. Under investigation.”

Jayakanthan ran a string of convenience stores. And he’d recently taken on a Post Office branch in west London. Suddenly, there was money missing from its accounts.

The Post Office itself brought many of the cases to court, and between 1999 and 2015, it prosecuted 700 people – an average of one person a week. Another 283 cases were brought by other bodies, including the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Many of those convicted went to prison for false accounting and theft.

Nick Wallis book “The Great Post Office Scandal:

The fight to expose a multimillion pound IT disaster which put innocent people in jail” (562 pages) is the extraordinary story behind the recent ITV drama series Mr Bates vs The Post Office.

It tells of how thousands of subpostmasters were accused of theft and false accounting on the back of evidence from Horizon, the flawed computer system designed by Fujitsu, and how a group of them, led by Alan Bates, took their fight to the High Court.

Their eventual victory in court vindicated their claims about the defects of the software and exposed the heavy handed attempts by the Post Office to suppress them.

The book also recounts how successive senior managers, business leaders, lawyers, civil servants and Government ministers, at best failed to expose the injustice or, even worse, sought to cover it up, resulting in one of the largest miscarriages of justice in UK history.

As the public inquiry reaches its climax, and senior figures such as Paula Vennells come to be questioned, The Great Post Office Scandal reveals the full scale of what happened and how so many of our trusted institutions allowed the saga to go on for nearly a quarter of a century, shattering the lives of thousands of innocent people.
