#JustIn | A PIL plea has been moved before the #SupremeCourt to constitute an independent expert committee under the chairmanship of a retired SC Judge to inquire into the killing of #AtiqueAhmed and his brother #Ashraf by 3 assailants yesterday while they were in police custody.
"The police when becomes DARE DEVILS then the entire Rule of law collapses and generates the fear in the mind of people against police which is very dangerous for the Democracy and this also results into further crime" : the PIL plea states.
"In a democratic society the police cannot be allowed to become a mode of delivering final justice or to become a punishing Authority. The power of punishment is only vested in the Judiciary," PIL plea.
The PIL plea also seeks an inquiry into the 183 encounters which have occurred since 2017 as stated by Uttar Pradesh Special Director General of Police (Law and Order) by an independent expert committee.
