Action initiated against cops in Palghar case, Maha tells SC

New Delhi: Maharashtra government informed the Supreme Court on Wednesday that action has been initiated against some policemen in connection with the alleged lynching of three people, including two seers, in Palghar district in April this year.
The state government told a bench headed by Justice Ashok Bhushan that it has filed an affidavit last month in which it has given various details, including action taken against policemen for alleged dereliction of duties in the case.
“We have placed on record all the actions taken by the state,” the counsel appearing for Maharashtra told the bench, also comprising Justices R S Reddy and M R Shah.
Maharashtra Police had last month filed the affidavit in the top court saying that action has been taken against 18 personnel, ranging from dismissal from service to salary cuts. (PTI)
