NEW DELHI: A court on Monday issued show cause notice to Delhi Police for allegedly making misleading statement before it regarding the sanction to prosecute Sushil Ansal, convicted in the 1997 Uphaar cinema fire which killed 59 people, for purported fraud while getting his passport renewed.
The court issued the notice to the investigating officer (IO) of the case on an application moved by the complainant, alleging that the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi had already accorded the requisite sanction on September 16 last year, which was duly communicated to the DCP headquarters on the same day.
