Overview
- The Haryana Police named DSP Dalip Singh to head an SIT probing ASI Sandeep Lathar’s death and the earlier FIR against Head Constable Sushil Kumar.
- The team will examine FIR No. 305 in Lathar’s alleged suicide and FIR No. 319 tied to Sushil’s arrest after a liquor trader’s complaint.
- Police say the bullet’s lead core has not been found in the Rohtak fields, though the bullet cover was recovered at the scene.
- A copy of the FIR was shown to Lathar’s family, who then allowed a post-mortem, with reporting indicating it names Amneet P. Kumar, AAP MLA Amit Rattan, Sushil Kumar and another officer on abetment and conspiracy charges.
- The SIT has begun recording statements, including from a cousin Lathar visited before his death, as notes in the linked cases trade accusations of corruption and caste-based harassment.
