The case arose from a complaint of Bula Devi, whose husband’s body was reportedly found on July 26, 2020, with a gunshot injury to its head, inside a car parked at a lonely spot in the jurisdiction of the Saket Police Station, where he was posted as a head constable.
Devi had filed an application under Section 156 3) Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), urging a magisterial court to order an FIR and investigation into her husband Sanjay Kumar’s “sudden and unnatural death”. She had alleged that her husband was being harassed and blackmailed by his colleagues. A day before he died, Kumar was stated to have apprehended a threat to his life.
Seeking a fair investigation into the cause of her husband’s sudden death, Devi made several complaints to different authorities, including the Deputy Commissioner of Police, South District and the Commissioner of Police. However, no FIR came to be registered.
