A city court in Gurgaon criticised an investigating officer for handling a property-related case in a casual and unprofessional manner. The court said the police investigation was deficient and that key steps were not done properly, which weakened the prosecution case.
The development matters because it points to a recurring weakness in the criminal justice system: poor investigation can damage the fairness and effectiveness of prosecution even when a case reaches court.
