The police inspector who shot the accused in the Badlapur sexual assault case on September 24, 2024, defended his actions, stating that he acted in self-defense. The accused reportedly threatened the officers during an attempted arrest, leading the inspector to open fire. The inspector’s statement came amid growing political tensions, with opposition parties questioning the legality of the shooting.
The incident has sparked a larger debate on police procedures and the use of deadly force in cases involving serious crimes. While the ruling party has backed the police officer, opposition leaders are calling for an independent inquiry to ensure transparency and justice.
As the case moves forward, the public is closely watching to see whether the inspector’s self-defense claims will hold up under scrutiny, or if further legal actions will be taken against him.
