Bengal plea against CBI probe in driver’s death dismissed

    By IANS,

    New Delhi : The Supreme Court Monday dismissed the West Bengal government petition challenging the CBI probe into the death of a driver, which was ordered by state high court.

    The apex court bench headed by Justice A.K. Patnaik while dismissing the state government plea said that in the peculiar circumstances of the case we are not inclined to interfere with high court order.

    Kazi Nasiruddin was picked up by West Bengal Police after he failed to produce the vehicle papers which he was driving.

    Subsequently, he died in police custody.

    Following this, the state government ordered a CID probe which high court found was not moving in the right direction and handed it over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
