Shraddha Walkar murder case: Plea in Delhi HC seeks transfer of case to CBI

An advocate has moved the Delhi High Court, seeking transfer of investigation from the Delhi police to the CBI in the murder of Shraddha Walker, which has captured the nation’s attention.

The petitioner – Joshina Tuli – has contended that the probe cannot be efficiently be carried out due to staff paucity as well as lack of sufficient technical and scientific equipment to find out the evidences and the witnesses as the incident had taken place about six months back.

The petitioner – Joshini Tuli – has also said that presence of media and other persons at the place of recovery and court room amounts to interference with the evidences and the witnesses. The plea has alleged that the place of incident has not been sealed by the Delhi Police till date which is continuously being accessed by the public person and media personnel.

In the plea, the advocate has also alleged that crime scenes and scene of recoveries are being contaminated by public persons and media personnel on a daily basis due to the unfiltered disclosure of information by the Delhi Police.
