SC asks Centre to give security to kin of road rage victim

Supreme Court on Monday asked the Centre to consider giving security cover to the parents of a youth, who was killed in a road rage case in 2011 by the son of Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh.

The apex court observed that without any reason nobody has that courage to make allegations against the CM and the family should be given protection.

The Manipur government informed the apex court that it does not have any problem in providing security to the parents of the youth who have alleged that they feared for their lives.

A vacation bench asked Additional Solicitor General Maninder Singh to seek instructions about providing security by central forces to the parents as they are now residing in Delhi.

“Nobody has that courage to make allegation against chief minister without any reason. If they want protection then they should be given. There should not be any problem in providing security to them,” the bench. PTI
