Supreme Court to Hear PIL on Sandeshkhali Violence Probe
The Supreme Court is set to hear a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on Monday, February 19, seeking a court-monitored probe into the violence that erupted in West Bengal's Sandeshkhali village, PTI reported. Filed by Alakh Alok Srivastava, the PIL calls for either a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or Special Investigation Team (SIT) inquiry into the incident. Srivastava, a practicing Supreme Court lawyer, has been actively raising socio-political issues through PILs. The plea also demands compensation for the victims and action against West Bengal Police officials for alleged negligence, as per PTI. Additionally, it seeks the transfer of the probe and trial outside the state, along with an inquiry by a three-judge committee, akin to the Manipur violence case. The violence in Sandeshkhali erupted amid protests over allegations of sexual abuse by a local Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader.
