Virendra Gahwai, Bilaspur. A petition has been filed in the Chhattisgarh High Court regarding the Loharidih suspicious death case. The petition of the daughter of deceased Shiv Prasad Sahu has been heard in the High Court. The Division Bench of the Chief Justice has given permission to the petitioner to file the case in the jurisdiction of Madhya Pradesh. The petitioner had filed the petition demanding post-mortem.
Let us tell you that the dead body was found hanging under suspicious circumstances. Advocate Sandeep Dubey, appearing for the petitioner in the case, said that on September 15, the body of Shivprasad Sahu was found hanging under suspicious circumstances on a tree in village Birsa in Madhya Pradesh. After this, MP Police conducted a short post-mortem and handed over the body to Chhattisgarh Police. After this, the police hurriedly buried the body in the presence of only a 9-year-old child without informing the elder members of the deceased’s family.
The relatives of the deceased suspect that Raghunath Sahu and his family members had murdered Shivprasad. Because while Shivprasad was going to Madhya Pradesh, Janak Sahu, who is a member of Raghunath’s family, is missing. Therefore, a detailed post-mortem should be conducted in the case and action should be taken after investigation.
In this case, the government told the court that because this incident happened under Madhya Pradesh border and the police there is investigating the matter. Therefore Chhattisgarh Police cannot investigate the matter. After this, the Division Bench of the Chief Justice gave permission to the daughter of the deceased to file a petition in the MP court.
The body of the deceased is currently buried in Loharidih. The court said that when Madhya Pradesh Police comes to Chhattisgarh, the state police will cooperate in the investigation. Senior advocate Vivek Tankha argued the case on behalf of the deceased.
