Overview
- A bench of Justices Ajey Gadkari and R R Bhonsale directed the investigating officer and the Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) to file reply affidavits and produce the case diary, with the next hearing on December 11.
- The court questioned why statements of widow Shehzeen Siddique and son Zeeshan were not recorded and demanded case‑diary proof instead of WhatsApp or call logs cited by the police.
- Petitioner Shehzeen Siddique alleges the probe was left incomplete and focused on the Bishnoi gang while failing to examine a builder nexus, with Zeeshan naming developers including Mohit Kamboj, Prithvijeet Chavan, Ashok Mundra and Vijay Thakkar.
- Counsel told the court an application for further investigation was filed and later withdrawn by police, while the widow says she has messages and recordings pointing to redevelopment‑linked motives.
- After the petition was filed, Zeeshan’s protection was reportedly cut from Y+ to two constables, and the court asked the state to reassess the family’s threat perception.
