The Madhya Pradesh Police has initiated an investigation into a peculiar case from Vidisha district, where an FIR was registered in connection with a communal clash, named for two persons, who have allegedly died for a decade.
On July 17, an FIR was lodged after a conflict between two communities in Barath village, which comes under the jurisdiction of Basoda City Police Station.
One of the groups filed a police complaint against the other, but in one turn, members of the other group approached senior police officers a few days later, alleging that the FIR was the name of two people, who died about 10 years ago. He also claimed that one of the other accused was not present in the scene of the clash.
Additional Superintendent of Police Prashant Choubey confirmed the Indian Express that such allegations had been reported.
Choubey explained in detail, “If the persons mentioned in the complaint are not present, they will get relief. Action will be taken against the people on the site. Sometimes it happens. It is a serious problem when a charge sheet is named dead persons. In the FIR phase, we can fix any error.”
The complaint was submitted to the Superintendent of Police on July 21 and is now investigating by a sub -divisional officer of the police, who has been assigned to verify the claims and collect evidence.
The complainant, Raj Kumar Sharma said, “There are two people nominated in the FIR who have already died. Therefore, we came before the Additional Superintendent of Police, who to submit an application for a fair investigation, and to remove the names of those who are not involved in the case.”
