It’s a relief to see the fact-finding inquiry recommend correcting the initial FIR. This is a crucial step for justice and to show that no one is above the law. Hopefully, the follow-through is just as thorough.
The part about four constables assigned to the SSP’s private residence stands out. Is this a standard practice? It seems like a misuse of public resources that should be serving the community.
This case shows how important CCTV and social media can be for public accountability. Without the video evidence, would this inquiry have even happened, or would the initial, incorrect FIR have stood?
The recommendation to handle the initial FIR ‘in accordance with the law’ is a specific and correct legal step. It’s not just about dropping a case, but formally acknowledging it was baseless. This sets an important precedent.
Glad the inquiry identified the constable who damaged the CCTV. This isn’t just misconduct; it’s destruction of evidence. Specific charges for this act are essential to ensure transparency in future incidents.
