The petition claimed the investigation by the Crime Branch in the past nine months was a “sham”.
The Delhi High Court Thursday issued notice to the Delhi government and the Crime Branch in a petition seeking a court-monitored probe by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) into the death of 23-year-old Faizan during the Northeast Delhi riots. Prior to his alleged detention at a police station in February, Faizan and four others — as seen in a video — were allegedly made to sing the national anthem and Vande Mataram by a group of policemen, who also hit them with their lathis. He died at a hospital within hours of his release.
