Mangaluru: Udupi deputy commissioner G Jagadeesha, who is heading the magisterial inquiry into the alleged police firing in connection with the violence that took place in the city on December 19 last year, will submit his report to the government by May 23. With the coronavirus outbreak and lockdown, the DC had asked the government for an extension.
Following the violence and death of Nauseen Kudroli, 49, and Jaleel Bengre, 23, due to alleged police firing, the state government commissioned two probes, one magisterial and the other CID. As per the government order, a report on the inquiry was to be submitted before March 23. However, the DC had requested the government for more time as the documents and videos had to be examined.
A total of 176 policemen will depose before the magistrate.
“One more sitting has to be held, which will be followed by record verification. Police have to submit a few documents,” Jagadeesha told TOI.
