💨 Abstract

A magistrate's inquiry has held five Maharashtra policemen responsible for the custodial death of Akshay Shinde, the lone accused in the Badlapur school sexual assault case. The report, submitted to the Bombay High Court, raises doubts on the police's claims of self-defense and suggests a fake encounter. The HC has ordered the state government to register an FIR against the policemen and investigate the matter.
