In Brief
A daughter-in-law and her two children were murdered in 2001. The police investigated but the accused were acquitted, with the Trial Court noting faulty investigation. The victim's mother-in-law filed a Supreme Court petition seeking reinvestigation. The Court constituted a Special Investigating Team (SIT) to re-examine the case. The SIT concluded the acquitted accused were indeed guilty, based on disclosures, recovered weapons with blood evidence, polygraph tests, and suspicious post-crime conduct. The Court directed the CBI to review the SIT report and decide on further action, disposing of the petition."
