HC junks IPS officer's plea

PNS

The Gujarat High Court on Thursday rejected IPS officer Satish Verma’s petition seeking recall of the court order for fresh probe into three custodial death cases of Porbandar in 1996-97.

Verma moved the High Court requesting it to take note of the fact that the fresh probe ordered into the alleged custodial deaths was on the basis of false information by the HC registry and the State Government. On April 18 last year, the court had asked ADGP (law & order) to conduct a probe and submit a report on the deaths in 1996-97 when Verma was posted as Porbandar SP.
