Mumbai, April 21 -- The Bombay High Court has transferred the probe of a woman's death, allegedly due to dowry harassment in 2023, to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), noting glaring discrepancies in the police's investigation. A bench of justices Sarang Kotwal and Sandesh Patil passed the order on a plea filed by the victim's father, who raised concerns over a "lackadaisical" investigation by the Kashimira police in Thane district. During the hearing on April 16, the court that the discrepancies in the police's chargesheet are significant and transferred to the CBI for a "fair and effective investigation". According to the plea, the victim had married in November 2021. On February 23, 2023, he was informed that his daughter had died by suicide. He approached the police after he found injury marks on her body. The petitioner claimed that the police reluctantly registered a case and did not even book the accused for murder. The high court took note of the statement by the medical officer who had conducted the victim's postmortem, in which she had said that she cannot form an opinion as to whether it was suicide or homicide, as she does not have the expertise in forensic science. The medical officer had requested the police to carry out further process through the forensic department of the state-run JJ hospital, but the same was not done.pti...
