Chandigarh Court Rejects Incomplete POCSO Investigation Report
In Chandigarh, a court is upset with a police officer (IO) because they didn't do a good job investigating a case about a child.
A girl went missing, and when she returned, the police should have found the person they thought was involved.
However, the IO only took the girl's statement and didn't look for the accused person, so the court said the report was not complete.
The court ordered the IO to do a thorough investigation, which means finding the accused and gathering all the facts.
Chandigarh court reprimands IO for incomplete investigation in a POCSO case.
The IO's report was rejected due to insufficient effort in tracing the accused.
The case involves a missing 15-year-old girl, with POCSO charges added later.
The court criticized the IO and higher authorities for misunderstanding the law.
The IO was ordered to file a complete report after proper investigation.
