Almost six months after MBA student Ranbir Singh was killed in an alleged fake encounter in Dehra Dun, the CBI has filed a chargesheet against 18 police personnel, including seven for murder, in the CBI court in Dehra Dun.
The CBI filed murder charges against seven police personnel, including Arag-har Chowki in-charge G.D. Bhatt, for allegedly kidnapping and killing Ranbir Singh on July 3. The CBI also accused all 18 cops of tampering with evidence. After investigations, the CBI believes the victim was killed after being tortured.
The seven cops facing murder charges are G.D. Bhatt, Santosh Jaiswal, Nitin Chauhan, Rajesh Bist, Neeraj Yadav, Chandra Mohan (sub-inspectors) and constable Ajit Kumar.
A statement by a witnesses who had seen Ranbir being picked up and taken away in a police van had led to public outrage, forcing the Uttarakhand CM to recommend a CBI inquiry.
