Hence, we expected the Mumbai police to complete the probe with utmost expedition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, the situation that emerges leaves a lot to be desired, the court said in its order.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have no option but to direct the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai, to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) comprising two senior police officers of impeccable integrity and unquestionable competence within 24 hours, it added.<\/p>\n<p>The court said it expects the new probe team to submit a charge-sheet within a month.<\/p>\n<p>We hope and trust that the SIT shall fairly and freely complete the investigation and submit a charge-sheet before the competent court within a month, the court said.<\/p>\n<p>The bench was hearing a petition filed by an advocate, Firdause Irani, raising concerns over police &#8220;excesses&#8221; while enforcing the COVID-19 lockdown which was first declared in March-end.<\/p>\n<p>Irani, in his plea, pointed out the case related to one Raju Devendra, whose family alleged that on March 29 night, when they were going to their relatives place, a police team chased them and caught him in suburban Vile Parle.<\/p>\n<p>The policemen allegedly informed the relatives that they were taking Devendra to the suburban Juhu police station, the plea said.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning, the police informed the family that Devendra was found lying at a nearby chowk (square) and declared dead when taken to hospital, the petition said.<\/p>\n<p>The police initially claimed the man died after he was assaulted by a mob who suspected him of committing a robbery, it said.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, the Maharashtra government told the high court that as per CCTV footage, Devendra was assaulted by four police constables.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, government pleader Purnima Kantharia told the HC that a departmental inquiry has been initiated against the four constables who were placed under suspension by an order dated July 31.<\/p>\n<p>The court, however, was not satisfied just with their suspension.<\/p>\n<p>They will get a salary without doing any work. We are not at all impressed with the state of affairs, Chief Justice Datta noted.<\/p>\n<p>The court posted the plea for further hearing on September 21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0The Bombay High Court on Monday\u00a0directed the Mumbai police commissioner to set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to conduct a probe against four policemen who allegedly fatally assaulted a 22-year-old man here while imposing the COVID-19 lockdown in March.
