“Intent is questionable and motive is to protect the accused. Are things being swept under the carpet? Why is the officer who delayed the FIR not being tried under Section 166 of IPC as he was duty bound to register an FIR which is mandatory in case of a cognizable offense as per Lalita Kumari vs Govt.of UP judgment of The Hon’ble Supreme Court?”
The first FIR towards Brij Bhushan relates to allegations leveled via a minor, which has been registered beneath the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act together with related sections of the Indian Penal Code relating to outrageous modesty.
The 2d FIR has been registered for wearing out complete investigations into the court cases via grownup complainants beneath related IPC sections relating outraging of modesty.
“Cases registered under POCSO Act are non-bailable… why no arrest so far? Is the law different for the high and mighty?” requested Sidhu.

Sidhu mentioned that with Brij Bhushan retaining the highest WFI put up, a good investigation used to be out of the query.
“With him at the helm of affairs, a fair investigation is impossible. The nation understands that committee formations are merely delay and deflect. The only way forward to a meaningful investigation and to uncover the truth is ‘Custodial Interrogation’, without it a fair Investigation is meaningless.
“The battle is for the honor, integrity and dignity of each girl,” added Sidhu.
