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 Punjab Police. The case stems from a complaint filed by Colonel Bath.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court had earlier transferred the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). This decision followed concerns raised about the adequacy of the Chandigarh Police’s initial probe.

Colonel Bath alleges he was assaulted by Punjab Police officers over a minor parking dispute. He claims the police investigation lacked seriousness and failed to make any arrests.

The petition before the Supreme Court seeks to ensure a thorough and impartial investigation into the alleged assault. The outcome will have significant implications for accountability within the Punjab Police force and public trust in law enforcement. The hearing is eagerly awaited by many, especially given the concerns around police brutality and the need for effective justice delivery.
