Gadoli case: HC rejects PIL seeking FIR against Gurgaon Police

The Bombay High Court today dismissed a petition filed by the brother of suspected gangster Sandeep Gadoli, who was shot dead by Gurgaon Police at a hotel here, seeking a FIR against Gurgaon Police on murder charges.
A division bench of justices R V More and Shalini Phansalkar-Joshi accepted the arguments put forth by Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi that the Haryana Police has already filed FIR in the case and investigation is on to ascertain if the encounter was fake.
Rohatgi, who appeared for the Haryana government, told the court that ordering for multiple FIRs to be registered will only lead to "chaos and clutter".

Public Prosecutor Sandeep Shinde along with Usha Kejriwal told the court today that an FIR has also been registered with the MIDC police here and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) under the Assistant Commissioner of Police has been formed to probe the case.
The bench accepted these arguments and dismissed the petition filed by Gadoli's brother Kuldeep Singh, who claimed that his brother was murdered by the Gurgaon Police at the behest of his business rival and Gurgaon politician Binder Gujjar.
Gadoli's family also filed an application challenging the post-mortem report of the body.

The court dismissed this application too and said all guidelines were followed.

Gadoli was shot dead by the Gurgaon Police in an alleged shootout at a Mumbai hotel on February 7.
A day after the alleged shootout, an FIR was registered by MIDC police. The complainant, Gurgaon police sub-inspector (SI) Pradhuman Yadav, who led a team of eight personnel to Hotel Airport Metro, alleged that Gadoli fired at his men and died in the counter attack. Hence, Gadoli was booked under attempt to murder charges.
