NEW DELHI: Police is not supposed to collect evidence only to prove the guilt of the accused but also to bring forth a true picture, a Delhi court said on Friday while directing a probe on the plea by actor-activist Deep Sidhu who claimed he was not an instigator of the Red Fort violence on the Republic Day during farmers tractor parade against the Centre s three new agri laws.
The court added however that appropriate action may be taken and relevant sections added to the charges if Sidhu was trying to mislead the investigation by fabricating false evidence. IO (investigating officer) is duty bound to conduct proper investigation in the matter in a fair and impartial manner.
