The Bhiwani district court dismissed the police‑CBI closure report on a teacher's death, citing gaps in the suicide narrative. The ruling underscores judicial scrutiny of the investigation.
The district court in Bhiwani has refused to accept the closure report submitted by the police and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) concerning the death of a local school teacher. The bench observed that the investigative report failed to address several inconsistencies and therefore could not be treated as a conclusive finding.
Judges highlighted that the suicide theory put forward by the investigating agencies lacked corroborative evidence, prompting the court to order further inquiry. The decision effectively reopens the case, mandating the authorities to pursue a more detailed examination of the circumstances surrounding the teacher's demise.
Legal counsel for the victim's family welcomed the verdict, emphasizing that the court's intervention ensures that the truth is not prematurely sealed. The next steps will involve the police and CBI revisiting forensic reports and witness statements before filing a fresh report.
The ruling reflects the judiciary's role in scrutinising investigative conclusions, especially in cases that attract public attention due to the professional status of the deceased.
