Entire effort of the police is to somehow give clean chit to the accused: Allahabad High Court earlier said in a case of custodial death
The murder charge against three policemen along with the suspension of six policemen in Gorakhpur for the death of a Kanpur trader is not the only one faced by the police in Uttar Pradesh in the recent months.
In September, the Allahabad High Court transferred the probe of an alleged custodial death of a 24-year-old man Krishna Yadav in Jaunpur to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). A Special Operations Group team of the police and the Station House Officer (SHO) of Baksa had in February gone to Yadav’s house and allegedly taken him away to the police station for detention in relation to a loot case. While the family accused the police of murder, the police said that Yadav was apprehended while he was driving a motorcycle and fell, receiving injuries. He was sent to hospital for treatment but was declared dead. The CBI lodged a case under murder and robbery against the police. While transferring the case to the CBI, the High Court had said that the investigation so far had shown that the “entire effort of the police is to somehow give clean chit to the accused and for this purpose important evidence are being left and some evidences are created and manipulated”.
