DN Exclusive: Judicial Commission headed by former CJ of Allahabad HC DB Bhosale begins probe in Atiq murder case, Commission quite strict

Prayagraj: What was the police doing while Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf were being shot at by three so called ‘journalists’ in front of TV cameras on the night of 15 April? Was that a police negligence? Why was the police taking both the brothers inside the hospital on foot and not in an ambulance or police jeep? Why were both of them allowed to talk to the media persons?

To explore the answers to all these questions, a 5-member Judicial Commission headed by former Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court Dilip Babasaheb Bhosle arrived at Prayagraj on Friday.
