The Story in Brief
The Bombay High Court has accepted the State CID's closure report in a 2007 case alleging a conspiracy to kill builder Rashmikant Shah, reports the Times of India. The court quashed a magistrate's order that had rejected the closure report, noting that the investigation found no material against the accused.
The case stemmed from a Rs 500 crore redevelopment dispute at Kalachowky. The CID probe raised questions about the prosecution narrative and led to the suspension of seven police officers, including a former additional commissioner. The CID concluded that the case was false.
The Indian Opinion
For an ordinary Indian, this case is a mixed bag. A thorough investigation exposed a false case, yet it took nearly two decades. The alleged framing by rivals and police raises serious questions about the criminal justice system in business disputes. The real test will be whether the seven suspended officers, including a former additional commissioner, face departmental action or if the matter ends quietly.
