Key Questions Answered
The Supreme Court expressed strong displeasure and reprimanded the UP Police over alleged irregularities in a criminal case investigation, specifically questioning why an FIR listed an unknown person when the accused was caught on the spot and handed over to the police.
The bench stated in a stern tone that it would be better to disband the Uttar Pradesh Police and hand over all investigations to the CBI, noting that some kind of agenda was visible in all their work and describing the handling as a cover-up job. However, these were only oral observations and not a final order.
Although the initial FIR registered the suspect as an unknown person, the motorcyclist's name, identified as Tushar, later appeared in the documents filed by police following intervention and a status report request by the High Court.
