A Delhi court while acquitting a murder accused, raised concern over ‘improper’ investigation by Delhi police, due to which the accused can not be convicted.
The court’s observation came while acquitting Jangpura resident Krishan of murder charges on the ground that ocular evidence cannot be used to convict a person for such serious offences. ‘It is unfortunate that senseless killing of a human being is going unpunished. But on the basis of such a shoddy investigation and unreliable testimony of the alleged eye witnesses, conviction cannot be brought on the accused,’ said additional sessions judge Girish Kathpalia.
