The Bombay High Court’s Aurangabad bench has directed the Superintendent of Police to personally investigate a rape case where the Investigating Officer (IO) has been accused of unresponsive behavior and possible ulterior motives. The victim alleged that the rape offense was not initially included in the police report, raising concerns about the integrity of the investigation. The bench noted that despite strong evidence and allegations against the IO, the public prosecutor lacked proper instructions on how to proceed with the case, hinting at potential mishandling.
