A plea has been filed in the Supreme Court regarding the death of Bharat Bhushan Tiwari during a police encounter in Bhojpur, Bihar. The petition demands an FIR and an independent investigation.
The Supreme Court is now hearing a case related to the death of Bharat Bhushan Tiwari in an encounter in Bhojpur, Bihar. A petition has been filed by parties seeking justice and a thorough investigation into the incident.
The plea challenges the police's account of the encounter, asserting that Tiwari had surrendered to the authorities and was unarmed at the time of the incident. This contradicts the police's statement.
Conversely, the police maintain that Tiwari opened fire on the police team, and the action taken was in self-defense. The Supreme Court's involvement signifies the gravity of the allegations and the demand for an independent probe into the circumstances surrounding Tiwari's death.
