SC to Hear Punjab Police Brutality Case: CBI Probe Sought

The Supreme Court will soon hear a petition challenging the handling of an alleged assault case involving a Punjab Police officer. The Punjab and Haryana High Court had earlier transferred the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The transfer followed concerns raised about the inadequacy of the Chandigarh Police’s initial probe. Colonel Bath, the complainant, alleges he was assaulted by Punjab Police officers over a parking dispute.

Colonel Bath’s petition claims the Chandigarh Police failed to make any arrests or conduct a thorough investigation into the alleged assault. He believes a CBI probe is essential to ensure justice.

The Supreme Court’s decision will have significant implications for accountability within the Punjab Police and the efficacy of inter-state investigations. This case highlights the ongoing need for transparent and effective mechanisms to address police misconduct.
