Bombay HC Slams Police for 'Callous' Probe in Fatal 2022 Accident
Imagine a young person got hurt in a car accident two years ago.
The police were supposed to find the person who caused the accident, but they took a long time to do it.
The court was not happy because it took the police a really long time to find the person responsible.
The court said the police weren't doing their job well.
The court has ordered the police to investigate the officer in charge, and the trial must be done quickly.
The court thinks the police should have worked much harder and faster to solve this case.
Bombay High Court criticized Mumbai Police for a 'callous' investigation.
A 20-year-old youth died in a hit-and-run accident in August 2022.
Police initially filed an "A Summary" report, unable to identify the accused.
The court's intervention led to the arrest of the accused driver.
The court ordered a departmental inquiry against the investigating officer.
