A bench of Justices Dipak Misra and R Banumathi was informed by Additional Solicitor General Maninder Singh that the probe agency has submitted a report to Delhi Police commissioner for obtaining sanction to prosecute those whose roles have surfaced in the investigation.
"The Delhi High Court had ordered a CBI inquiry in the matter. CBI has completed the investigation and prima facie a case is made out. The report has been forwarded to the police commissioner for obtaining sanction," the bench was told.
The incident had taken place on September 7, 2015 at Nand Nagri in northeast Delhi when the victim, Shahnawaz Chaudhary, tried to intervene in a roadside fight between a couple and the police.
Chaudhary was picked up and taken to the police station. Later, he was rushed to a hospital where he was declared 'brought dead'.
