NewzThe Supreme Court of India has ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into a custodial death case in Chhattisgarh. The court’s decision follows allegations that local police and administrative officials engaged in a deliberate cover-up to obscure the facts of the incident from judicial scrutiny.
In its observations, the bench criticized the state authorities for attempting to mislead the court. The mandate for a federal investigation reflects the judiciary's concern regarding institutional accountability and the integrity of the initial local inquiry into the death.
