Relief to 13 cops in fake encounter case

Sessions court has stalled the execution of the order after the Delhi government opposed the direction.

In a temporary relief to 13 policemen summoned by a magistrate in connection with a fake encounter, a sessions court has stalled the execution of the order after the Delhi government opposed the direction.

Additional Sessions Judge B R Kedia had also issued a notice to the CBI for October 17, seeking its response on the government’s move.
