Nagpur: City police chief (CP) Amitesh Kumar has written to the state government, seeking a fast-track trial in the Balya Binekar murder case. The incident, which took place near Bhole petrol pump in full public view, had rocked the city last September. Kumar also made a request for a special public prosecutor.
The CP has already given his approval for a charge sheet against eight persons under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) within 150 days. “Our investigation would be such that we shall try to get the case slotted into the ‘rarest of rare’ category so that capital punishment is awarded,” said the top cop.
Kumar said criminals had ganged up to eliminate Binekar. “The chargesheet is almost ready and in the next couple of days, it shall be sent to the court after scrutiny,” added Kumar.
