Death of teen in Unnao: SC directs IG to undertake probe
Expressing displeasure over the way the investigation was conducted into the death of a 17year-old boy in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao district, the Supreme Court has handed over the probe to the Inspector General of Police on a complaint by his mother.
A bench of Jusices Ajay Rastogi and Bela M Trivedi said the probe conducted by the investigating officer cannot be said to be fair and impartial.
The boy was allegedly assaulted in police custody for violating coronavirus restrictions in the state.
The top court said fair investigation is the backbone of criminal justice system and the object of the probe is to search for the truth so that it would help in meeting the ends of justice by way of fair trial in court.
"At the same time, the need to ensure fair investigation of crime is undoubtedly imperative because it protects at one level the rights of the victim and the fundamental rights of every citizen in ensuring that crime is investigated and dealt with in accordance with law," the bench said. The apex court said after going through the records, it was of the prima facie view that the complaint of the petitioner deserves indulgence of this court.
