Extrajudicial Killing
On December 27, 2003, police arrested Hari Prasad at a bus stop. When his father went to the DPO to complain, the police denied having arrested him. After searching for months, his father complained to the NHRC. According to the NHRC’s findings, Hari Prasad had been killed. The investigation led to the exhumation of Hari Prasad’s body, and a post-mortem revealed the cause of death to be “gunfire injury to the pelvis.”
Developments
The family filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court seeking a court order for police to register the FIR.
The Supreme Court quashed the petition on the grounds that the DPO, Kavre provided a written reply to the Court that it had already registered the FIR.
