The killing of the accused in the Badlapur sexual assault case has sparked controversy, with the Maharashtra government likely to order a CID probe. On September 24, 2024, opposition parties raised doubts about the circumstances surrounding the death, calling for transparency and justice.
The accused, who was allegedly involved in a brutal sexual assault, was shot by police officers, leading to public outcry and accusations of extrajudicial action. The police, however, maintain that the accused threatened officers and was shot in self-defense.
The incident has sparked a wider debate on law enforcement practices and justice for victims of sexual assault. As the case continues to unfold, the CID’s potential involvement is expected to bring clarity to the events leading to the accused’s death, but the case has already stirred political tensions across Maharashtra.
