PRAYAGRAJ: Taking a serious note of lodging of a large number of alleged false cases against a Dalit person at the instance of policemen, the Allahabad high court has ordered a CBI probe into some criminal cases registered at Mathura and Firozabad districts. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and Scheduled Caste (SC) Commission had taken notice of these cases.
Petitioners Sunit Kumar and another pleaded before the court that policemen were lodging false cases against them and their family members in order to pressure them to withdraw from a case where 35 police officials have been prima facie found guilty of lodging false cases and of stage managing false crime cases.
