Supreme Court Extends CBI Probe in Chhattisgarh Custodial Death Case by Three Months
The Supreme Court has granted the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) three additional months to complete its probe into the 2024 custodial death of Shravan Suryavanshi in Chhattisgarh. The court had earlier ordered the investigation and directed the state to pay Rs 25 lakh compensation to Suryavanshi's family. It criticized state authorities for delaying action, calling their explanation a "cover-up story." The court emphasized the need for a thorough investigation and prosecution of those responsible, with the next hearing scheduled for February 2.
