The Supreme Court will hear on June 30 a PIL seeking a court-monitored probe into the alleged fake encounter killing of Bharat Bhushan Tiwari in Bihar’s Bhojpur district. The petition, filed by advocate Vishal Tiwari, demands an FIR, a judicial inquiry led by a former SC judge, and a CBI probe, citing concerns over rising extra-judicial killings and “half encounters.”
The post-mortem report of Bharat Tiwari, killed in a Bhojpur police encounter, revealed five bullet injuries, intensifying the controversy. Meanwhile, a police constable was suspended over public remarks, as a judicial inquiry continues into the June 17 encounter
