A court has directed an investigation into the involvement of Gurugram police officers and the district medical officer in the murder of a man named Yuvraj.
The Delhi High Court, sitting in its Gurugram bench, issued a directive on Monday for a detailed probe into the conduct of local police personnel and the district medical officer linked to the Yuvraj murder case. The court expressed concerns that procedural lapses may have compromised the integrity of the investigation and the post‑mortem report.
According to court records, the victim, identified only as Yuvraj, was found dead under circumstances that prompted an initial police inquiry. Subsequent filings by the victim's family alleged that certain officers and the medical officer may have tampered with evidence or failed to follow standard protocols.
The bench ordered an independent forensic audit of the autopsy findings and instructed the state crime branch to re‑examine the police statements. A senior magistrate will supervise the process to ensure transparency and compliance with legal standards.
The ruling comes as part of a broader effort by the judiciary to scrutinize law‑enforcement actions in high‑profile homicide cases across Haryana, aiming to restore public confidence in the criminal justice system.
