NEW DELHI, July 11 -- A city court pulled up Delhi Police for its alleged laxity in the investigation of a man's murder in 2007, observing that "dereliction of duty in a case involving loss of human life cannot be tolerated".
The observations were made by Judicial Magistrate First Class Bharti Beniwal of Tis Hazari Court on July 8 while dealing with a case wherein a man, in his early 30s, was found dead in a drain in central Delhi's Kamla Market, on July 30, 2007.
Police are yet to identify the accused in the 18-year-old case and file an untraced report before the court. "Such a dereliction of duty in a case involving loss of human life cannot be tolerated," the court said.
