The tragic case of Akshay Shinde, accused of sexually assaulting two minor girls in Badlapur, Thane district, has taken another somber turn. Shinde, who was in custody since last month, was killed in an alleged police encounter earlier this week while being transported from Taloja jail to Badlapur. This incident has sparked outrage and raised questions about the circumstances surrounding his death, prompting his father to approach the Bombay High Court seeking a burial spot for his son.
Shinde's father claims his son was killed in a fake encounter and has requested a high court-monitored probe into the incident. He has faced difficulties in finding a burial site for his son due to local opposition. His family expressed Shinde's wish to be buried instead of cremated, further highlighting their distress in the face of opposition. The family's legal counsel has also cited constitutional rights regarding the handling of bodies, seeking the court's protection for those rights.
The Bombay High Court, recognizing the gravity of the situation, has questioned the incident and emphasized the need for a fair and impartial investigation. The court has indicated it will hear the father's plea regarding the burial spot, highlighting the need for a swift resolution in this sensitive matter. The case throws light on the complex interplay of law, justice, and social sensitivity in the face of serious allegations and the tragic circumstances surrounding Shinde's death.
