In Brief
A mother sought judicial intervention to investigate the death of her son, which was initially closed as accidental or suicidal. The Court found the police investigation significantly deficient: the FIR was filed only after repeated complaints, inquiries remained inconclusive, and authorities dismissed evidence suggesting a homicide. Concerned that the investigation appeared designed to shield potential wrongdoing, the Court set aside the closure report and ordered a completely fresh investigation led by a senior officer with a new team, to be completed within two months, ensuring a fair and thorough inquiry into the circumstances of death.
