Court Orders FIR Against Sambhal Cops
A court in Sambhal, India, has ordered the police to file a case against 13 police officers.
These officers were accused of lying about catching a man named Omveer in a robbery.
Omveer said he was in jail when the robbery happened, so he couldn't have done it.
The police said they will fight this order in court.
Omveer is happy because the court believed him, but the police say they didn't do anything wrong.
A local court in Sambhal ordered an FIR against 13 police personnel for allegedly staging a fake encounter and falsely implicating Omveer in a robbery case.
Omveer claimed he was in Budaun jail from April 11, 2022, to May 12, 2022, making it impossible for him to have committed the robbery on April 25, 2022.
The court order was passed on December 24, and the police have stated they will challenge the order.
Omveer had previously complained to senior police officers but no action was taken until the court's order.
The police personnel accused include former station house officer Pankaj Lavania and several other officers and constables.
