Petition states the circumstances in which Navreet Singh lost his life are ‘highly suspicious’
The grandfather of a 25-year-old farmer, who died during the tractor rally on Republic Day, moved the Delhi High Court on Wednesday seeking a court-monitored Special Investigating Team (SIT) probe into the incident.
The plea, which is listed for hearing before Justice Yogesh Khanna on Thursday, states that the circumstances in which Navreet Singh lost his life are “highly suspicious”. According to the plea, “eyewitness statements corroborated by medical opinion do not rule out that the petitioner’s grandson was shot by policemen”.
‘No investigation’
“The Delhi police have without any inquiry or investigation hastily prejudged the cause of death by declaring that the petitioner’s grandson died in an accident and there were no bullets fired,” says the petition filed by 69-year-old Hardeep Singh.
