The Supreme Court on May 25 issued a notice to the Uttar Pradesh Government on a petition alleging fake encounter of a Muslim youth by the Mathura police. The petitioner, Jhadmal, 71-year old father of deceased Mohd Shakeel, pleaded to the Apex Court to restrain the police from disposing of his son’s body. He alleged that during the last two months, 20 such fake encounters were carried by Mathura police, who, he claimed, is close to the Mayawati government. A bench of Justices G.S. Singhvi and C.K. Prasad, while issuing notice to the UP’s Additional Advocate General and others, posted the matter for further hearing.
