SC pulls up Mumbai police
The Supreme Court on Wednesday pulled up the Mumbai authorities for quarantining the IPS officer from Patna, Bihar and said that it did not send a good message as all eyes were on the case. Justice Roy asked the officials to ensure everything was done in a professional manner.
The Mumbai Police has faced unprecedented heat over its probe in the mysterious death case which had furthered the demand for a CBI probe. Probe by an independent investigation agency had been demanded by several politicians and Bollywood personalities claiming several irregularities. While the Mumbai Police continues its inquest investigation, the SC has directed the Maharashtra government to place all records in the case before it by Saturday.
