Palghar lynching case: SC asks Maharashtra Police to place fresh chargesheet on record

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday asked Maharashtra Police to place on record the second supplementary chargesheet filed in the case related to the alleged lynching of three people, including two seers, in Palghar district in April last year. A bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan and R S Reddy was informed by the counsel for the Maharashtra government that a second supplementary chargesheet has been filed in the case. The bench said the fresh chargesheet shall be placed before it on record in two weeks and posted the matter for further hearing thereafter. On 7 September last year, Maharashtra Police had informed the top court that it has punished “delinquent” policemen for dereliction of duty in the case. The top court on 6 August last year had asked Maharashtra Police to apprise it of the inquiry and action taken against the errant police personnel in the case. Maharashtra Police had said as many as 18 delinquent police personnel have been awarded varying punishments and some of them have been dismissed from service and some of them have been compulsorily retired. Some delinquent cops have been punished with salary cuts also, it had said, adding that the state’s criminal investigation department has so far filed two chargesheets in the alleged lynching case. On 11 June last year, the top court had sought a response from the state government on two petitions seeking a separate probe by the CBI and the NIA into the alleged lynching. The bench was hearing petitions including the one filed by sadhus of ‘Shri Panch Dashban Juna Akhara’ and relatives of the deceased seers. Their plea alleged the investigation by the state police was being conducted in a biased manner. The other plea, seeking an NIA probe into the incident, has been filed by advocate Ghanshyam Upadhyay. Besides the Maharashtra government, one of the petitions has arrayed the Centre, CBI and the director-general of police of Maharashtra as respondents in the matter. The three victims from Kandivali in Mumbai were travelling in a car to attend a funeral in Surat in Gujarat amid the COVID-19-induced nationwide lockdown when their vehicle was stopped and they were attacked and killed by a mob in Gadchinchile village on the night of 16 April last year in the presence of police. The victims were identified as Chikne Maharaj Kalpavrukshagiri, 70, Sushil Giri Maharaj, 35, and Nilesh Telgade, 30, who was driving the vehicle. While hearing a separate plea seeking a CBI probe in the case, the top court had on May 1 directed the Maharashtra government to submit a status report on the investigation in the matter. The plea filed by ‘sadhus’ of ‘Shri Panch Dashban Juna Akhara’ has sought transfer of the probe to the CBI, claiming that there is “reasonable apprehension of bias” if Maharashtra Police proceeds with the investigation. “Several video clippings have emerged on social media and news reports which very clearly demonstrate the active involvement of the police present, who can be seen handing over the three persons to the unlawful assembly of persons gathered,” the plea has claimed. The police have arrested over 100 people in connection with the case.
