Supreme Court Orders Rs 6 Lakh Compensation for Man After Faulty UP Police Probe
The Supreme Court of India criticised the Uttar Pradesh Police for a 'slipshod investigation' in a 2019 murder case, which led to a man spending six years in custody as an undertrial before his acquittal. The court ordered the state government to pay Rs 6 lakh as reparation, highlighting the state's responsibility to protect citizens presumed innocent until proven guilty. The judgment called for better police training and emphasised justice for both victims and accused, condemning the flawed investigation and prosecution.
