SHIMLA:
As the police officials of district Mandi face allegations of extortion, the division bench of acting chief justice Tarlok Singh Chauhan and justice Satyen Vaidya, on December 23, had ruled that the inquiry "to be conducted by an officer not below the rank of superintendent of police and under supervision of an officer not below the rank of inspector general of police. Needless to say, the investigating officer shall not be from the district police force Mandi."
This is the second such case where Mandi police have been accused of extorting money in the name of implicating in a drug case.
Balbir Singh Pathania, father of deceased Rishi Raj, whose dead body was found floating in 'Suketi Khad' (rivulet) in Mandi, in the afternoon of April 5, 2024, had moved high court with a plea to transfer the investigations to CBI.
