SC Slams MP Govt and CBI Over Custodial Death Case
The Supreme Court is very unhappy with the Madhya Pradesh government and the CBI.
They haven't suspended police officers accused of a custodial death, even though the officers have been missing since April.
The court is worried because it seems like the government is protecting the officers.
The victim's mother says her son was killed by the police.
The court has ordered the CBI to act, warning the government and the CBI of contempt charges if they don't comply.
The case is being reviewed again on Friday.
The Supreme Court criticized Madhya Pradesh govt and CBI for delayed actions.
Police officials have been absconding since April without suspension.
The case involves the custodial death of a 24-year-old victim.
The CBI was questioned regarding their inability to arrest the absconding officers.
The court ordered respondents to appear before it on Friday with explanations.
