New Delhi: The Supreme Court has recently ordered the formation of a new Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the allegations against state minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Govind Singh Rajput in connection with the alleged illegal detention of an Other Backward Class (OBC) leader. The court’s decision came after the OBC Mahasabha filed a writ petition seeking a writ of habeas corpus to produce Man Singh Patel before the court in view of his alleged illegal detention.
The bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan directed the Director General of Police (DGP) of Madhya Pradesh to form a new Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the case and complete it within four months.
The SIT will comprise the Inspector General, the Senior Superintendent of Police and the Superintendent or Additional Superintendent of Police from the cadre of police officers who are not natives of the state. The team may also appoint junior officers to assist with the investigation.
“Since we have not issued any notice to respondent No. 6 (MLA Rajput) and other private respondents, we wish to clarify that the observations made in this order are not intended to cause any prejudice to them,” the court said.
