Palghar Hospital Assault Case: Bombay HC Raps Police Over ‘Lethargic’ Probe, Orders Konkan IG To Supervise
The Bombay High Court criticised the Palghar police over an allegedly “lethargic” probe into the September 6 assault on doctors at a hospital and directed the Konkan Range Special IG to supervise the investigation. The court flagged gaps in the spot panchnama and evidence collection. Police have arrested 13 people, while nine named accused remain absconding.
