The death of 26-year-old Bharat Bhushan Tiwari in a Bihar police encounter has sparked controversy and demands for accountability. A PIL filed before the Supreme Court seeks an independent probe, while the Bihar government has initiated a judicial inquiry into the incident.
The Allahabad High Court has transferred 14 judicial officers in Uttar Pradesh, including Sambhal CJM Vibhanshu Sudheer, in a routine administrative reshuffle. The transfer comes shortly after his order directing registration of an FIR against senior police officials over the November 2024 Sambhal violence.
In a development, the Lucknow High Court administration initiated action against police officials over an unauthorized entry into the court premises and an advocate’s chamber. FIR No.0035/2026 was registered at Vibhutti Khand Station under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 there.
