Agnelo Valdaris Case: Bombay High Court Directs Trial Court to Frame Murder Charges Against 8 Cops - (20 Dec 2019)

CRIMINAL

Bombay High Court has ruled that the death of 25-year-old Agnelo Valdaris in 2014 is prima facie a custodial death, directing the trial court to frame charges against eight accused policemen for murder and destruction of evidence. The High Court refused to accept the Central Bureau of Investigation’s contention that its probe showed that Valdaris had been run over by a train when he attempted to escape from custody and that there was not sufficient evidence to try the policemen for murder.
