Overview

  • The Himachal Pradesh High Court has reserved its ruling on transferring the investigation into Vimal Negi's death to the CBI, following a petition by his wife citing investigative lapses.
  • The court directed police not to file a chargesheet without prior permission, emphasizing judicial oversight in the ongoing probe.
  • Discrepancies in affidavits from the DGP and Shimla SP have revealed internal divisions within the police, raising questions about the investigation's impartiality.
  • The DGP alleged misconduct by an ASI who reportedly concealed and formatted a pen drive recovered from Negi’s body, further complicating the case.
  • Negi’s family continues to allege workplace harassment by senior HPPCL officials, with a fact-finding report corroborating claims of undue pressure and misbehavior.
