Rally by murder accused: HC seeks reply from Vadodara police

Vadodara: The Gujarat high court has asked Vadodara city police to respond to a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by a law student over the rally taken out by a murder accused after getting bail.
The law student Suyash Sahay’s advocate Jaidev Acharya said that the court issued notice to the police department asking to file a detailed response on every issue raided by them in the PIL. The bench of chief justice Vikram Nath and justice J B Pardiwala will take up the case for further hearing on Friday.
Sahay had asked the court to direct police to set up an inquiry against cops who did not stop the rally taken out by the accused Suraj Kahar and his supporters. He also requested the court to direct police to form code of conduct so that no such rallies take place in future.
Kahar was released by a sessions court on June 4. He and his friends had allegedly killed an HR executive in February over road rage. After getting out of the jail Kahar boarded a luxurious red car and stood through the sunroof while heading towards his home in Warasia. His friends drove two-wheelers around the car and honked incessantly as if celebrating his release from the jail.
