The daughter of a street‑vendor who was killed alleges that the investigation is being influenced because her grandfather is a sitting judge.
A street‑vendor was found dead, prompting his daughter to raise concerns about possible bias in the case. She highlighted that while her father earned a living from a modest stall, his own father serves as a judge, suggesting that the family’s judicial connections might be affecting the investigation.
The daughter’s statements, reported by The Times of India, allege that law enforcement officials are handling the probe in a manner that favours the victim’s family, potentially compromising the pursuit of justice. She has called for an impartial inquiry to ensure that the circumstances of her father’s death are examined without undue influence.
Authorities have not yet responded to the allegations, and details about the incident remain limited. The case has drawn attention to broader concerns about the impact of personal connections on criminal investigations in India.
