SC to scrutinise Palghar lynching case chargesheets

The Supreme Court on Thursday decided to scrutinise Maharashtra police’s two chargesheets in the Palghar ‘sadhu’ lynching case and asked the state government what action it had taken against the policemen in whose presence the lynching took place. A petition on behalf of Juna Akhara has said the Maharashtra police was complicit in the crime and all 126 accused would go scot-free.
