Hansura Bai & Anr. vs. The State of Madhya Pradesh & Anr. (CRIMINAL APPEAL) – Supreme Court of India Judgment
The Supreme Court has ordered a CBI investigation into the death of a young man in police custody in Madhya Pradesh. The Court found that the local police, who were themselves the accused, could not conduct a fair investigation. It also noted that the only eyewitness to the incident was being harassed with multiple false cases. To ensure justice, the Court transferred the case to the CBI and directed that the eyewitness be given police protection.
