Punjab Police chief Gaurav Yadav revealed that two retired officers received show-cause notices related to an FIR against Sikh preacher Ranjit Singh Dhadrianwale for a 2012 rape and murder case. The case was reopened after family allegations of police inaction, amid claims of threats against the complainant, with Dhadrianwale denying all charges.
The Supreme Court of India on November 29 overturned Kamaruddin Dastagir Sanadi’s conviction for cheating and abetment of suicide, stating that a broken relationship does not equate to criminal conduct without evidence of intent. The Court emphasized that emotional distress alone does not warrant abetment charges unless clear intent is established.
