Refusing to grant any relief to three persons, who claimed to have been shot at by the city police during last week's violence in south Mumbai, the Bombay high court on Thursday questioned the urgency to transfer the probe to an independent agency.
Refusing to transfer probe in the recent violence in south Mumbai to the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Bombay high court on Monday said even if it is accepted that the police firing on the mob was wrong, it cannot be said that the investigations conducted are biased.
The Mumbai police were put in a spot over a poem published in its in-house journal terming last year's Azad Maidan protesters as "snakes" and "traitors" whose hands should have been "chopped off", following which it has assured to issue an unconditional apology.
A petition has been filed in the Bombay high court seeking action in the matter of complaints that were made before the Azad Maidan police station pertaining to the recent riots connected to the Assam issue.
