Bombay High Court Condemns CID’s Negligent Approach in Badlapur ‘Encounter’ Investigation: A Shocking Call for Justice
The Bombay High Court has criticized the State Crime Investigation Department (CID) for its handling of the investigation into the custodial death of Akshay Shinde, the main suspect in the Badlapur assault case, where two kindergarten girls were sexually assaulted. Shinde was fatally shot by the police on September 24. The Division Bench, consisting of Justices Revati Mohite-Dere and Prithviraj K. Chavan, expressed concern over the CID’s approach, which they believe casts doubt on the fairness of the investigation and suggests reluctance to disclose full information to the Magistrate overseeing the case. The court demanded that the CID collect all relevant documents and submit them appropriately to the Magistrate, emphasizing the necessity of a thorough and impartial inquiry. The matter is scheduled for further hearing on January 20, 2025, with the court requiring a comprehensive report from the Magistrate by that date. Published on December 3, 2024, at 01:27 am IST.
