High Court Demands Action Against Corruption in Punjab Police
News summary

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has ordered a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's interviews, which were conducted in police custody—one at the Kharar CIA premises and another in Rajasthan. The court emphasized the need to identify corrupt elements within the Punjab Police, stressing that the investigation should not merely scapegoat lower-level officials while protecting higher officers. Concerns were raised about an inconclusive report from a previous committee, which suggested it was 'highly improbable' the interviews occurred in custody, prompting the court to question the integrity of the findings. The court has directed the Director-General of Police to report on a range of criminal cases linked to the interviews, indicating a potential rise in crime since their broadcast. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been entrusted with ensuring a comprehensive investigation, with the Chief Secretary of Punjab required to provide necessary support. The next hearing is scheduled for September 5, as the court seeks accountability and transparency in the ongoing investigation.
