Delhi court inquiry into police negligence

Overview

A Special Court in Delhi has ordered an inquiry into the Delhi Police following a significant delay in arresting two individuals accused under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). The court reprimanded officials for failing to apprehend the suspects for six years, characterizing their investigative report as a ‘mockery’ and an ‘absolutely perfunctory and mere eyewash’.

During the period the accused remained at large, they allegedly committed various crimes, including murder, robbery, and kidnapping. Specifically, one suspect was linked to approximately 20 FIRs, including multiple murders and attempted murders. Special Judge Gaurav Rao has directed the Commissioner of Police, Delhi, to conduct a detailed inquiry into the conduct of the investigating officers and submit a report.
