Supreme Court Criticizes UP Police Over FIR Against Unknown Rider, Suggests CBI Intervention
The Supreme Court criticized the Uttar Pradesh Police for registering an FIR against an "unknown" motorcycle rider despite the complainant apprehending the accused at the scene and handing him over to the police. The court questioned the credibility of the investigation, noting irregularities such as the delayed naming of the accused and alleged biased handling. It warned that if such issues persist, the police force might be disbanded and investigations transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The court emphasized the need to restore public trust in law enforcement.
